John and Gillian came to work with me again this morning. Daddy had an early morning appointment and was planning on picking them after he was done. So they were only at the office for a short time. We started the morning by drawing pictures. While drawing Gillian asked “When are your friends coming?” After… Continue reading Are you sure?
Today was yet another snow day. In anticipation of being stuck inside the house all day, I ran to the food store on Wednesday night. Normally I avoid food stores before a storm, but honestly it wasn’t that bad. Luckily I didn’t need bread or milk. I just needed some supplies to make chicken torilla… Continue reading Snow day projects

As… Continue reading The girl in the purple dress
