I picked the kids up from school today. As I put Gillian in the car, she said “I nice today. I no hit Dora! I hug Dora!” Of course hearing that I told her that I was very proud of her. We got home and I had Daddy ask Gillian how her day was. She… Continue reading Changing story
Today Daddy and I were upstairs watching football and decorating cookies. We could hear the kids in the basement playing and giggling. They sounded like they were having a good time, but we couldn’t see what they were doing. Gillian’s giggles could be heard upstairs and it sounded like she was having a good time. … Continue reading giggles
One silver lining to being stuck at home for Hurricane Sandy, was that Gillian has finally come to terms with the fire whistle. I’m sure I have mentioned it before, but we have a fire station behind our house. The fire whistle goes off occasionally and Gillian has been afraid of it for awhile now. When… Continue reading Whistle Not Nice
A few weeks ago I made Rice Krispie treats for the kids. They loved them. Daddy and I made some again last week. But this time John got to watch and “help.” Now every time you ask John what he wants for a snack he says “Rice Krispies!” Unfortunately the batch we made last week… Continue reading Rice Krispies Treats
I dropped the kids off at school this morning and TLC was prepared for the bad weather forecasted. On the sign-in sheets there was a note asking for a phone number in case they needed to close early. I was working from home again (no power at the office) and the weather was getting worse… Continue reading Don’t Worry
Hurricane Sandy ruined the kids Halloween this year. After the hurricane hit, the Governor postponed Halloween until Monday, November 5th. We still dressed the kids up on October 31st, even if it was to run errands. They had fun dressing up and we put smiles on a lot of people’s faces that day. So… Continue reading Belated Halloween
Gillian has grown up a lot over the past week. Daddy and I are not sure if it was because we had nine days home with the kids so we were able to see it or if she is just at that stage. She is talking a lot more. She is more independent. She used… Continue reading Gillian and her book
We found out today that the kids’ school is open tomorrow. At first I told Miss Kim that the kids would be there unless I didn’t have power at the office. After thinking about it a little bit, I decided that they need to go to school. They need to be with other kids and… Continue reading Play time
Well it’s been almost a week since my last blog post. As many of you know we were hit with a hurricane on Monday, October 29th. Both my office and Daddy’s office were closed on Monday in advance of the storm’s arrival. We kept the kids home and we got prepared for the storm. We… Continue reading Post Hurricane Sandy
Saturday, Daddy and I decided to split up and do some errands separately. I took Gillian. We went to Costco and the A&P. Costco was a little crazy but nothing more than a regular Saturday. We needed our regular supplies for the week, plus I did want to buy a few cases of water just… Continue reading Hurricane Prep
