We did a little shopping tonight. At The Grove there is a fountain with four frogs and a turtle spitting water on two ducklings. The kids checked out the fountain. Gillian said “Ewwwww! Why they do that?” John ran around sticking his fingers and hands in the water. Actually, he was karate chopping the streams… Continue reading The fountain
If you are a dedicate reader of my little blog, you know that Gillian and Dorlisa have a love-hate relationship. Most days they are best friends, but some days they are enemies. I never know what to expect when I pick the kids up. Tonight I asked her how her day was. She said “Good.”… Continue reading Shoes
Today, we went to the dealership to visit Mimi, Poppy, Uncle T and Aunt Missy. Plus, on Memorial Day Mimi always cooks hot dogs for the customers so the kids were able to get lunch too. The kids shared a hot dog and had some popcorn too. We spent some time talking to Aunt Missy… Continue reading Dealership
Since yesterday was rainy and cold, we spent most of the day inside. The kids spent most of the day in the basement playing with their toys. This morning I told them that they needed to clean the basement before they could watch any television shows. Gillian nodded and started to pick up some toys.… Continue reading Cleaning
Last night was Little Kyle’s birthday party. Aunt Trish made cupcakes with blue and white icing and a cake too. Gillian inspected the cupcakes and decided she wanted a blue one. She licked all the icing off first and then attacked the cake. She ended up with blue icing all over her face, but she… Continue reading Cake, part 2

Gillian said “Yogurt!” John thought about it for awhile, then he said “Fancy grilled cheese!” In our house a fancy grilled cheese is basically a cheese quesadilla. I needed to pick up jelly so we… Continue reading Donuts
Today was raining and yucky all day. John and Gillian didn’t complain at all about being inside all day. I think they were a little exhausted from playing outside all day yesterday. They spent most of the day in the basement playing with their toys. John came upstairs and said “I knew it! You are… Continue reading Lazy Sunday
Today Daddy had a softball game with his work colleagues. The softball field was at a park with a playground and a picnic area. When we arrived at the park this morning, it was raining a little bit. But a little rain did not stop the kids from playing on the playground. Their pants got… Continue reading Softball, babies and bruises
I love that the weather is getting nicer. John and Gillian have been playing outside everyday at school and when they get home they just want to play outside. When I got home tonight the kids were playing outside. I watched them play. John was collecting “helicopter seeds” and Gillian was following him around. He… Continue reading Outside
Gillian is clearly my daughter. She loves cake and chocolate. Here are a few of her cake stories. A month ago, we were at Daddy’s cousin’s baptism. While sitting at the table and talking Gillian pointed and screamed “Cake!” Yes, the cake was being served, but she didn’t need to announce it to the entire… Continue reading Cake
