Gillian is very difficult to get out of bed in the morning. On the weekends we just let her sleep until she is ready to get up. However on the weekdays, either Daddy or I get the pleasure of waking her up. Some mornings she rolls over and tells me “Two more minutes.” Other days,… Continue reading Wake Up
We took the kids to Aunt Missy’s parents house today to go swimming. It was our first time in a big pool this summer. John was super excited to go in the water. But once he was in, he got a little nervous. He forgot that he could touch the bottom on the low end… Continue reading Kick!
Today was John’s Kindergarten Graduation. I can’t believe that my little boy has graduated Kindergarten. It seems like it was just yesterday when we were bringing him home from the hospital. Our day started early. John woke up and found me in the bathroom. He told me “I need to get handsome.” And he proceeded to comb his hair… Continue reading Kindergarten Graduation
Daddy picked up the kids from school yesterday. He found them outside playing on the playground. Gillian came running up to him and said “I have sticks in my pocket!” Then she proceeded to pull a few sticks out of her pocket. She said “I throw them away.” And she put them in the garbage… Continue reading The hoarder

He asked “How many stores are we going to?” Daddy told him “Ten, maybe fifteen.” This news did… Continue reading Running Errands
I made chicken tonight. Some of the pan drippings hit the bottom of the oven and the kitchen quickly filled with smoke. It also set off the smoke alarm.

Last week, Gillian wore a cute top with pink leggings. When Daddy picked her up from school, Gillian said “Everyone like my shirt!” While saying that, she would run her hands down the front of her shirt. She proudly told me the same thing that night. “Everyone like my shirt!” Today, Gillian wore her new… Continue reading Everyone
This morning, we went to Mimi as Poppy’s house for breakfast. Gigi and Pop-Pop (the kids great grandparents) were in town and breakfast was the perfect opportunity to get together. After breakfast the kids ran around the backyard blowing bubbles. I had to help Gillian with we bubbles. She has a tendency to spill bubbles.… Continue reading Sunday adventures
