I bought John a new t-shirt and it came in the mail today. I showed it to him. He read it. He laughed and said “That’s cause his arms are little! And you know what? His nose is too big!” And then he made his arms short like a T-Rex and walked out of the… Continue reading T-Rex
John’s school had a family night program tonight. John really really wanted to go. When I picked him up from school, he told me “I didn’t do my homework in Time+.” I told him that he needed to do all his homework if he wanted to go to back to school. This was perfect motivation.… Continue reading Family Night
Yesterday John told Daddy, “I’m hungry.” Daddy offered “Do you want Taquitos?” John said “What?” “Taquitos.” “But I don’t know what that is!” Daddy again repeated “Taquitos.” John got angry “Don’t say it in Spanish!” Daddy said “It’s still Taquitos. Do you want some?” John said “Taqui-NO!”

For dinner tonight, I made chicken and pasta with cheesy garlic bread. Gillian ate all the cheese off of her bread and then asked for another piece.

When John and I got home tonight, Daddy was working outside cleaning up some leaves. It was a warm night so Daddy was working without a shirt.

Most days John takes a peanut butter and jelly sandwich to school. We always tell him what’s available for hot lunch. Today I told him that lunch was pasta. He said “Yes!

I woke up this morning, and it wasn’t snowing. But I checked online to see if the kids had school. Both schools were closed in anticipation of today’s snow storm.
