Gillian learned the hard way yesterday that girls can be mean. John had a basketball game on Saturday morning. We all went to watch. Normally we bring Gillian’s LeapPad with us so she can play games.

So I said “There… Continue reading Girl colors

When we first saw commercials for the new Paddington Bear movie, I told the kids “Mommy has a Paddington Bear.” They didn’t believe me, but my bear had been sitting on Gillian’s dresser for years.

Gillian’s school had a Super Bowl party on Friday. Gillian was very excited to tell us all about it on Thursday night. She said “There’s a party tomorrow.
