S’mores

Today is National S’mores Day! We can’t let a day like that go by without celebrating!  On a side note, Gillian has decided that she doesn’t like s’mores. I know. Pretty shocking. But lucky for me, cause I got to finish her s’more.

Gillian got a Fozen Bingo game for her birthday this year. All day today she wanted to play it. Finally after bath, I said we could play. She found Daddy and asked him to join us. When she came back, she said “Good news! There will be four of us!” We played. Gillian was so… Continue reading Bingo

While I was cleaning up the dishes after dinner tonight, I could hear someone clunking around the living room. Gillian was wearing my heels. She walked into the kitchen so I could see her better. And she posed for a few pictures.  I must also note that under her hat, she hid all of her… Continue reading Fashionista

At dinner tonight, Gillian asked John and I, “Who likes Harry Potter?” John raised his hand. And I said “I do!” She looked at me and said “You gotta raise your hand.” So I raised my hand. Then she asked “Who likes Frozen?” Gillian and I both raised our hands. She looked at me and… Continue reading Survey says…

Entertainment

Daddy spent the afternoon power washing the back of the house and the deck. And Gillian spent at least a half hour watching him. She stood at the back slider and watched him clean. Daddy would tease her and spray the slider door with water and she was flinch as if the water was really… Continue reading Entertainment

Every morning Daddy or I lay out clothes for the kids to wear. We wake them up and they have to get themselves dressed, teeth brushed and go downstairs to get breakfast. On Friday, I laid out clothes for Gillian and woke her up. I told her to get dressed and I went get myself… Continue reading Getting dressed

In the car tonight, I told Gillian “Guess what? Soon we will be able to put different earrings in.” She said “When I can wear new earrings? Like tomorrow?” I said “No. We have a week to go. And then we get to put in different earrings.” She smiled and said “I want diamond earrings.”… Continue reading Earrings

Countdown

July 26, 2015 johnandgillwentupahillLeave a comment

Our kids love a countdown. We countdown the number of days until vacation, Christmas, birthdays and the end of school (just to name a few things). A few years ago, I bought a sign to display our various countdowns. We are currently counting down to Gillian’s birthday. She is learning how to write her numbers… Continue reading Countdown

I had a little helper tonight.  We had to make some cupcakes for Gillian’s birthday party tomorrow. Gillian helped make the chocolate cupcakes.  I think she just wanted to lick the beaters. I always let them lick the beaters.  Afterward she had chocolate all over her face. She didn’t believe me when I told her… Continue reading Baking

Daddy woke the kids up with Reveille this morning. He went into John’s room with Reveille playing on his cell phone. John woke up and said “I’m up. I’m up. I’m up. Dude, I said I’m up!” Next he went to wake up Gillian. She didn’t even open her eyes, she just flailed around until… Continue reading Reveille
