I brought Gillian to work with me today. She was due for her annual physical and I figured it was easier to bring her to work instead of dropping her off at school after her appointment. Plus then her teachers didn’t get stuck dealing with a cranky little girl. We went to work first and… Continue reading Exhausted
John’s school was closed today for Rosh Hashanah. I brought him to work with me. It was raining this morning, while in the car headed to the dealership and John said “It’s too yucky to go to work.” Kinda hard to disagree with that. But I said “Sorry Buddy, we gotta go to work even… Continue reading A day at work
Today was Gillian’s second day of dance class. She was super excited to get out of bed this morning. Dance class certainly motivates her! Tonight she told us about class. She said “We did this!” And she stood on her tippy toes and spun around in a circle. Daddy asked her to do it again.… Continue reading Dance – lesson 2
It’s been a long time since I have enjoyed a tea party with Gillian. Yesterday Aunt Betty and Justin came to visit. The kids were playing happily downstairs while Aunt Betty and I talked upstairs. We went to check on them and found John and Justin playing video games. Gillian, on the other hand, had… Continue reading Tea Party
Gillian started taking pre-ballet class at her school. It is with Wee Can Dance. They come to Gillian’s school once a week and teach basic ballet techniques. They do an introductory class and Gillian really enjoyed it. We figured we would sign her up and see if she likes it or not. Gillian was super… Continue reading Dance class
Gillian has a stuffed dragon named Spike. Spike had a little cut on his neck. Last week, we asked Aunt Betty to take him home so Grandma could stitch him up. Before Aunt Betty could take him, Gillian had to give him lots of kisses and squeezies. When I tucked her into bed that night she… Continue reading Spike
Tonight we took the kids to dinner at Johnny Rockets. We all ordered milkshakes and ate dinner. Towards the end of our meal, the waitress came over and asked if we wanted dessert. Daddy and I both said no. When she left, John said “Well I would like dessert.” We just stared at him. He… Continue reading Tonight
Gilly was super cranky tonight. When I got home with John, they started fighting over who got to sit in the chair by the Lego table. Then she gave the chair to him. And then she was too close to him. Or she touched his stuff. Before dinner Daddy sent her to her room, because… Continue reading Cranky
When I went to get Gillian from school today, I found her in her classroom with some of her friends. They were sitting in a semicircle looking at a dry erase board. One little boy was drawing something on the board and they were all guessing what he drew. They were so cute raising their… Continue reading Pictionary
The kids went to bed a little after 8 tonight. I could hear them still moving around by 8:45. So I went to check on them. Gillian was laying with her feet on her pillow. I giggled and gave her a kiss. She said “You know, I’m backwards!” I laughed. “Yes Gillian I can see… Continue reading Backwards
John and Gill went up a hill
