Saturday morning, I was awake laying in my bed when John walked in. He climbed up on the bed and laid next to me. We snuggled for a few minutes and he kissed me on the forehead and went downstairs to find Daddy. We didn’t say anything. We just enjoyed the moment together. Today Gillian… Continue reading The little things
Yesterday John was scheduled off from school and I had planned to bring him to work with me. We woke up yesterday morning and Gillian’s school had a 10:00 am start and Daddy had a 10:30 start. So the only options were for me to wait out Gillian’s delay or bring her to work with… Continue reading A day at the office
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
John’s bus stop is at the corner of our street. It is a house away from our house. I normally walk with John to the bus stop. We hang out and talk and wait for the bus. Since the weather has been very cold lately, we have been driving to the bus stop. It’s ridiculous. … Continue reading The Bus Stop
On Saturday, Gillian and I ran some errands in the morning and then went straight to John’s basketball game. Daddy said that they got there early and John got to practice. John practiced with Daddy and made a few baskets. We got to his game at the end of practice and watched Johnny play. Gillian… Continue reading Johnny Saturday
I woke up this morning, and it wasn’t snowing. But I checked online to see if the kids had school. Both schools were closed in anticipation of today’s snow storm. I told Daddy about the school closures and he said “Okay.” Luckily, he was scheduled off today because he worked on Saturday. I got ready… Continue reading Another Snow Day
Everyday I ask the kids “What was your favorite part of the day?” The kids answers are always amusing. Most days they say “Playing outside.” But with the cold weather we have had lately, I haven’t gotten that response. Yesterday I asked John what his favorite part of the day, he said “Thinking about you!”… Continue reading Favorite
I love picking the kids up from school. I got Gillian first. She was in the big room riding bikes with Dorlisa. They had their backs to the door and didn’t see me when I walked in. I watched the two of them have a little conversation and then take off across the room. Dorlisa… Continue reading Pick up
After dinner, last night John was working on his homework and Gillian was working on a new picture. Gillian asked Daddy “Turn on the musgik!” Daddy didn’t understand what she was saying. It took me awhile to figure it out too. She wanted to listen to music while she worked on her picture. Below is… Continue reading Music
I was the first one awake today (rare on a weekend). I went downstairs and started a load of laundry, emptied the dishwasher and made a dozen pumpkin muffins. As I was putting the tray of muffins in the oven, I was joined by John. “Mom? I didn’t know you were awake!” He worked on… Continue reading Sunday morning
