Tonight I gave the kids a bath, John read books to Gillian, and I read a few pages of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. Then the three of us snuggled in my bed with Gillian’s manket. John decided to get his Grandma blanket so we could all get under it. After about thirty… Continue reading The fortune
I brought Gillian to work with me today. She was due for her annual physical and I figured it was easier to bring her to work instead of dropping her off at school after her appointment. Plus then her teachers didn’t get stuck dealing with a cranky little girl. We went to work first and… Continue reading Exhausted
Tonight we ate pizza in the living room and watched Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. I know. It doesn’t sound that exciting. But it was. John was super excited to see all the characters that we have read about come to life. He jumped on the couch when he was excited and hid his… Continue reading Family movie
John’s school was closed today for Rosh Hashanah. I brought him to work with me. It was raining this morning, while in the car headed to the dealership and John said “It’s too yucky to go to work.” Kinda hard to disagree with that. But I said “Sorry Buddy, we gotta go to work even… Continue reading A day at work
A few weeks ago, I started reading John “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone.” I did the same thing last year. But he really didn’t really get into it. And it was hard to keep his attention. So I started reading it again. He loves it. He remembers what I read about and questions everything.… Continue reading Harry Potter
In the car this morning, we got stuck waiting for a train to pass. John looked out his window and said “I think I see an animal.” I saw it too. I told him, “I think that’s a groundhog.” He said “I don’t know. I’ve never seen one. We should look at my animal book.… Continue reading Suburban
Sunday morning, John came downstairs and immediately asked “Can I watch shows?” Daddy said “Yes.” I said “No.” John said “I guess I gotta pay you.” I said “Yes. I gotta get all my hugs now. Because, I know you won’t believe this, but at some point you won’t want to give Mommy hugs or… Continue reading Sunday Hugs
Gillian has a stuffed dragon named Spike. Spike had a little cut on his neck. Last week, we asked Aunt Betty to take him home so Grandma could stitch him up. Before Aunt Betty could take him, Gillian had to give him lots of kisses and squeezies. When I tucked her into bed that night she… Continue reading Spike
Tonight we took the kids to dinner at Johnny Rockets. We all ordered milkshakes and ate dinner. Towards the end of our meal, the waitress came over and asked if we wanted dessert. Daddy and I both said no. When she left, John said “Well I would like dessert.” We just stared at him. He… Continue reading Tonight
Gilly was super cranky tonight. When I got home with John, they started fighting over who got to sit in the chair by the Lego table. Then she gave the chair to him. And then she was too close to him. Or she touched his stuff. Before dinner Daddy sent her to her room, because… Continue reading Cranky
