We went to Happy Day Farm on Sunday. We started at the pumpkin patch. The kids looked everywhere for the perfect pumpkin! Gillian loved all the little pumpkins. Finally we found a big pumpkin for the family, a little one for Gillian and one for John too! Then Aunt Missy, Uncle T and Mackenzie… Continue reading Happy Day Farm
John has a new job. Yesterday Daddy told me that John has been helping every week to pull the garbage can in from the curb. Last night he moved the full can to the curb and this afternoon he pulled it back it. He’s quite the big boy!
This morning, I was talking to John. I asked him “Is it ok if I come and read to your class?” He smiled and said “Yes, because I want my friends to meet you.” This makes me so happy. I said “So it’s cool to that I go to your school? So I’m cool?” He… Continue reading Cool

John proudly told Daddy, “I am one of the lucky few that got invited! It was just… Continue reading The invitation

Last night I went to a paint and wine party and left the house before the kids went to bed. This morning when I saw John, he said “When did you get back?” I explained that I got home after he fell asleep. I asked “Did you see what I made?” He said “No.” And… Continue reading The painting
Tonight for homework, John needed to write six to eight sentences about his favorite book. We worked on a rough draft together and when we were happy with it he started to write out the story neatly. He was very discouraged and immediately said “This is going to take forever.” I cheered him on and… Continue reading Sweet Motivation
