Easter Best
I loved the kids Easter outfits this year. I always make them pose for a picture on the front steps. This year they really got into it. Here are some shots from our little photo shoot.

The bug
Last night, we put the kids to bed. But it didn’t take long before Gillian was out of bed and standing in our room. She said “There’s a bug. A little bug.” Neither Daddy or I said anything. So she kept talking. “Well not a little bug. A medium bug. On my flower.” Daddy went… Continue reading The bug
Easter Bunny
We don’t always make it to visit with the Easter Bunny. I asked Daddy “Should we take the kids to see the bunny?” He said “I don’t know what do you think?” So Daddy asked the kids “Do you want to see the Easter Bunny?” John said “Yes! It’s tradition!” Gillian said “I like bunnies.… Continue reading Easter Bunny
Veggies
Gillian loves vegetables. Every night at dinner she eats her veggies first. And she always asks for second helpings. Tonight she didn’t even bother to put the veggies on her plate.
Bunny Ears
Gillian found a pair of bunny ears. She has been wearing them quite often. I went to tuck her in one night and found them on her head. For St. Patty’s Day I made sure the kids wore green shirts and Gillian added to the outfit by putting on her bunny ears. The other morning… Continue reading Bunny Ears
Famous cookies
This weekend, I was working on decorating Easter cookies. Gillian really wanted to help so yesterday morning I told her we could make chocolate chip cookies together. She was so excited and said “Your World Famous cookies?!?” I said “Yes!” After I ran all my errands I called her upstairs to help. Gillian did everything.… Continue reading Famous cookies
Cupcakes

My mom bought me a decorating set where you can make cupcakes look like baby chicks. She bought it last year. I had… Continue reading Cupcakes
Legos
The last Sunday of February, Daddy and I had to spend some time at the dealership counting inventory. Since the dealership was closed we brought the kids along to hang out while we counted. The kids were so good. On our way home that night I promised to buy them something as a reward for… Continue reading Legos
Rule breaker
I have a No TV during the week rule. We don’t get a lot of time with the kids after school and we have found that we barely have enough time for homework, dinner and baths without the distraction of TV. Tonight we had about twenty minutes before bedtime. We were going to send the… Continue reading Rule breaker
The Bus
Today I read to Gillian’s class. Since I was leaving work early, I wrote notes for both kids to take the bus home instead of going to Time Plus. I can see Newman Springs Road from my front window. So I sat in the window while waiting for John’s bus. I saw the traffic start… Continue reading The Bus
