We recently painted Gillian’s room and rearranged the furniture. Next to her big girl bed is her nightstand. On top of the nightstand is a princess alarm clock. Daddy bought this clock when Gillian was first born. I asked him to get me a clock so when I was up with her in the middle… Continue reading The Alarm Clock
At dinner tonight, Gillian says “I got a boo-boo today!” She picked up her foot and showed John and I her bandaid. We asked her what happened. She said “I was riding a bike and fell. Then Miss Margaret saved the day! She give me bandaid!” John and I were a little confused. We asked… Continue reading The boo-boo
Daddy picked up the kids. On the way home John asked “When we get home, can I draw a picture of what I want for dessert?” At that moment, Daddy thought John was reading his mind. They had just stopped at the light on 520 by the Ralph’s Italian Ices. Daddy was debating stopping a… Continue reading Dessert
Today was the baptism of Daddy’s cousin’s baby Riley. We went to the church to watch the baptism. The kids were well behaved, considering the fact that the priest was a little long winded. At some point, the priest said “Next we will anoint the babies with water.” Gillian heard that and said “I like… Continue reading Water, Baby and Dancing
John has two posters hanging in his room. One is Marvel Super Heroes. The other one is Marvel Villains. These posters have been hanging in John’s room since we painted his room. Since the posters have been hanging over his bed, the corners have gotten torn. Daddy bought some frames for the posters and framed… Continue reading No Ironman
This morning I got John ready. When he was dressed, I him to go in the bathroom and brush his teeth and tell Daddy to get out of the shower (or as John says “Shuttin’ ‘er down!”) John looks at me and says “I know just what to do!” He goes into the bathroom and… Continue reading Shuttin’ ‘er down!
I picked the kids up from school today. Both of them had red cheeks. I asked John how many times he got to play outside today (normally the highlight of his day). He said “No nap today! You know what that means? We went outside three times today!” I asked Gillian the same question. She… Continue reading Outside
Driving to work this morning and I got stuck in a little traffic. I completely forgot that there was construction on 520 and that it was the first day back from spring break for some schools. Anyway, I got stuck in some traffic. John says “I’ve never seen these houses before. They are creepy!” I… Continue reading Traffic and cookies
I ordered Chinese food for dinner tonight. We don’t get Chinese food often, maybe once every six months. We always order sweet and sour chicken so the kids have something that’s easily identifiable. We gave the kids chicken, rice, and some lo mien. Gillian started eating right away. John watched Daddy eat for a few… Continue reading Chopsticks
Tonight at dinner, John wanted some ricotta cheese on his pasta. He pointed at the cheese and said to Daddy, “Will you do the honors?” Tonight I told John that he could get two Hersey kisses for Gillian and himself for dessert. John brought the kisses upstairs into Gillian’s room. The kids enjoyed their snack… Continue reading Little stories
