John heard on the radio the other night that we might get snow today. This morning he woke up and wanted to know where the snow was. We explained to him that the snow probably wouldn’t come until after school. I also told him that I had a secret way to get it to it… Continue reading Inside out PJs
I don’t know when it started but Gillian had been calling people or things “best ever!” It’s pretty simple. If she likes something then it’s “best ever!” Some days when I pick the kids up from school, she will come running over saying “Mommy! You best ever!” It’s a wonderful feeling to know that you… Continue reading Best Ever!
I picked the kid up from school today. On our way home, I asked the kids how their day was. I expected a short one word answer. But John surprised me. He told me about Amazing Athletes and how they did relay races today. “First we did frog hops, then bear crawls. And at the… Continue reading The Obstacle Course
I give Gillian baths at night. And every night there is drama about getting the soap out of her hair. I have tried to get her to lay down on her back and lean her head back but she doesn’t want to try. She gets upset and refuses to lay in the water. Even though… Continue reading Bath time assistant
Daddy and I decided to take the kids to Manasquan today. It was our first time to the beach since Hurricane Sandy. We bundled the kids up and packed them in the car. In the car, we reminded John about how the hurricance destroyed houses and the beachfront. We also talked about Gee-Gee’s. For those… Continue reading The Beach
I went to check on Gillian this morning. She was awake but still laying in her bed. She quickly got up and gave me a big squeezie. She went potty and we went back into her room to get her changed. I was able to get panties on her and then she started dancing. She… Continue reading Dancing
Tonight Gillian and I were snuggling in my bed. Instead of sitting still, she kept climbing out of the bed and running back to me to help her get back in the bed. After repeating this process what seemed like a million times I told Gillian that I would not help her again. Once again,… Continue reading I did it!
It’s Tuesday. I am sure I’ve said it before (Daddy says I write it every week), but Daddy works late on Tuesdays so I get to pick the kids up from school, feed them and bathe them before he gets home. Daddy came home tonight and found the kids already in their PJs. Daddy brought… Continue reading French Fry
I love tucking the kids in bed. They are so sweet. They try to prolong the goodnight as long as possible. They give tons of kisses and squeezies. Gillian will fuss over which blanket goes where or which pillow to use. John will want me to snuggle in his bed and then after 30 seconds… Continue reading Bedtime
Tonight at dinner (much like every other night), I served the kids food, and told them it was hot. Gillian immediately shoved a meatball in her mouth. She started to cry, because it was too hot. We told her to spit it out and I again told her that the food was hot and that… Continue reading Dinnertime Secrets
