We decided to take the kids to see the new Muppet movie today. All we told the kids was that we were going to do something special. This morning John kept asking for clues. I told him “Green.” That didn’t help him. I also brought Gillian’s Kermit with us thinking that would help him. He… Continue reading The movies
I try to make a nice breakfast for the family on Sundays. This morning, Gillian and John wanted to help. I put Gillian in charge of coffee, while John helped me make the eggs. Gillian is the best coffee assistant. We have a Keurig coffee maker and all Gillian really has to do is load… Continue reading Sunday Breakfast
Saturday morning, I was awake laying in my bed when John walked in. He climbed up on the bed and laid next to me. We snuggled for a few minutes and he kissed me on the forehead and went downstairs to find Daddy. We didn’t say anything. We just enjoyed the moment together. Today Gillian… Continue reading The little things
Aunt Betty came over on Sunday to help me decorate Valentine’s cookies. John and Daddy decided they would build Legos all day. Gillian, on the other hand, told me “I’s going to help you. I do the sprinkles!” When Aunt Betty arrived, Gillian squirmed into her lap and refused to move. Again she told us… Continue reading Cookie assistant
On Saturday, Gillian and I ran some errands in the morning and then went straight to John’s basketball game. Daddy said that they got there early and John got to practice. John practiced with Daddy and made a few baskets. We got to his game at the end of practice and watched Johnny play. Gillian… Continue reading Johnny Saturday
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. I told Daddy about the school closures and he said “Okay.” Luckily, he was scheduled off today because he worked on Saturday. I got ready… Continue reading Another Snow Day
Friday was a snow day for the entire family. I woke up early and John was the first one to join me. He was super excited about no school. Gillian, on the other hand, didn’t wake up until 9:30. The kids were good all day. They didn’t fight and they didn’t really ask to watch… Continue reading snow day
Daddy and I decided that the kids needed to go see Santa this year. We were having a hard time finding the perfect day to go. Finally yesterday, I went online and paid in advance to Fast Pass the Santa line for Tuesday night. I didn’t look at the weather and was a little worried that… Continue reading Santa 2013
before carving Tonight after dinner we decided to carve our pumpkins. Before we even started, John said “Can I get some gloves? Because I’m not getting my hands dirty.” We found some gloves for him to wear. And we started with Gillian’s little pumpkin. I helped her with the big parts. I thought she would… Continue reading pumpkin carving
Today we met Mimi, Poppy, Uncle T and Aunt Missy for breakfast and then went pumpkin picking. If you remember, last year (check out last year’s post: pumpkin picking) John had very specific criteria for the perfect pumpkin. The pumpkin had to be round, not too dirty and a stem. This year, he wasn’t that specific. He… Continue reading a big pumpkin
