Mimi gave the kids a bear that says “I love chocolate.” I conveniently left the bear at Mimi’s house. When the kids were at Mimi’s house this past weekend John found the bear and decided he needed to come back to our house. He has been playing with this bear all week. This morning he… Continue reading Chocolate
Tonight we took the kids to the mall for a quick dinner and to do a few quick errands. This was our first time walking the entire mall without a stroller.

We were asking the kids what they want for Christmas. Gillian said “Baby doll. And Mickey Mouse!” John said “I want something to play music. A blaster!” I looked at Daddy and we both were confused.

I gave the kids a bath tonight. Lately John has been showering so it is pretty rare to have the two of them in the tub together. Tonight they were very good in the bathtub.

This morning John found Buddy the elf in the kitchen. Buddy was making snowflakes. He left a big mess of pieces of paper.

On our way to school this morning, John says “I remember something important. Today we are going on a trip!” I agreed with him and said do you remember where you are going?

John had Amazing Athletes today. When we asked him what he did today, he said “Running!” Running seemed a little lame compared to previous weeks where they did basketball, baseball and soccer.
