The other day when we put up the Christmas tree, I pulled out our tree skirt. I tried to explain to Gillian that it was special because Grandma made it. Gillian heard skirt and she immediately tried it on. Best part is that I ended up finding the tree skirt in the basement a few… Continue reading Tree skirt
Today was the annual Christmas party at the club. We met Mimi, Poppy, Uncle T, Aunt Missy and Kenzie for a little Christmas fun. The kids made a little reindeer craft and got to meet Ruldoph. Gillian was not a big fan of the reindeer, but Kenzie loved him! We heard that Santa was there… Continue reading Christmas Party
On Sunday, we picked out our Christmas tree. We met up with Mimi, Poppy, Uncle T, Aunt Missy and Kenzie. Before we searched the field for the perfect tree, we stopped to take a few pictures. We split up. John helped Mimi and Poppy while Gillian helped me. It didn’t take long this year. Gillian posed… Continue reading Tree shopping
A little over 4 years ago I started this little blog. I simply wanted a way to remember all the funny things our kids say or do. I thought it would be something that the kids could look back on. It’s become more than just something for me to enjoy. The kids aunts and uncles,… Continue reading One thousand!

This morning during breakfast Daddy tried to convince John that John was a robot that we built. It was pretty funny and Daddy had him going for awhile. Tonight at dinner, I asked John about school.

Over the past month and a half, Gillian has been having some problems at school and aftercare. She has been misbehaving and acting out. Our first response was to take away her favorite thing, her blanket (aka Manket). This didn’t make a difference in her attitude. So we changed strategies. We opted for a reward… Continue reading Reunited
