Tonight at dinner, Gillian told us about Health Class and how they practiced “stop, drop and roll.” She also told us “If there’s smoke then you gotta crawl. And if there’s a fire then you don’t go back to get your toys.” I said “That’s right, no matter what we don’t go back in the… Continue reading Fire Safety
Daddy laid out feety jammies for Gillian last night. When I went to tuck her in, she was not happy. I said “Look at you in feety jammies!” She said “I don’t like feety jammies. They’re hot!” I tried to make it better, and said “It’s cold tonight, you will want to be warm.” She… Continue reading Feety jammies
Tonight at dinner, John told us “We got to watch a movie today.” Daddy asked “Really, what movie?” John said “Toy Story!” Daddy questioned him, “You got to watch Toy Story in class?” John laughed and said “No for recess!” Gillian said “We watched a movie too! In the cafeteria!” Daddy asked “What movie did… Continue reading The Movie
John is obsessed with the show called “How’s it made.” The show takes you through how a few different things are made. John loves it. He would watch it for hours (if we let him). Today there is a marathon on the Science Channel. This is where I found him.
The kids’ schools were closed today for Yom Kippur so they got to spend the day at the office with me. They were super excited to go to work. When we arrived, John walked Gillian upstairs and they found two new Crayola Design Pro sets. I found them opening the boxes. John said “Look what… Continue reading A day at the office

Last night I went to a paint and wine party and left the house before the kids went to bed. This morning when I saw John, he said “When did you get back?” I explained that I got home after he fell asleep. I asked “Did you see what I made?” He said “No.” And… Continue reading The painting
Last night on our way home from Aunt Missy’s party, we stopped and got ice cream. There’s a place around the corner from us that makes homemade ice cream. It’s delicious. Anyways, Gillian got chocolate and John got mint chocolate chip. The kids didn’t finish all their ice cream so we put it in the… Continue reading Ice cream
Last week, Gillian’s school had their first fire drill. Her teacher had an entire lesson to go along with the fire drill. Gillian came home with this picture. I’m sure you have noticed that Gillian made a little modification to the picture. I asked her “Gillian, what’s on the kids’ heads?” She said “Tiaras!” Whew,… Continue reading Fire Drill
For the past few years, Daddy, John, Aunt Betty, Justin and I have run the Color Run. This year Gillian joined us! She was very excited when we were at the house. And in the car.
