We had spaghetti for dinner tonight. Gillian took Messy Eater to a whole other level. Even John, who normally has pretty good table manners, was out of control. I know, I should have taken this opportunity to teach them better manners. I just couldn’t. It was too much fun to watch them get dirty and… Continue reading Table Manners
I picked the kids up from school on Friday, and John had two witch hat cookies on a plate. He was so proud of these cookies. He told me “They are for you and Daddy. We got to make three today, and I had one at snack.” As soon as Gillian saw the cookie she… Continue reading Witch Hat Cookies
This morning we went pumpkin picking with Mimi, Poppy, Uncle T and Aunt Missy. We walked to the pumpkin patch and Mimi noticed a corn maze. She asked John if he wanted to check it out.

This morning Justin came to visit. The kids all shared some munchkins for breakfast. Justin was a good big cousin and made sure that he didn’t eat any of the chocolate ones because he knew Gillian liked them the best. The boys played all morning with John’s superhero toys. At one point Justin came upstairs… Continue reading Shake the Baby

School was closed on Friday. I asked Grandma, Grandpa and Aunt Betty to watch the kids for the day. Since Grandma and Grandpa go to the beach everyday they decided to take the kids with them in the morning. Aunt Betty didn’t have school on Friday so she joined them. Also, Aunt Trish had the week… Continue reading Beach Day
Tonight Gillian pulled all the cushions off of the couch. She started jumping up and down on the cushion-less couch. She would jump up and land on her tushy and she would laugh.

I picked the kids up from school today. As we were walking to the door I told John that we were going to Grandma’s house. He said “Really? We’re going to Grandma’s?
