John and Gillian spent the day at Grandma’s house. They spent most of the day playing outside. Aunt Betty sent me some pictures of Gillian’s chalk pictures. That’s Gillian. Aunt Betty traced Gillian and Gilly added the tutu! Then she added more detail. Gillian laid next to her chalk picture. When I picked up the… Continue reading Chalk pictures
Tonight at dinner, we did our usual conversation starter, “How was your day?” John said “It was good.” I can’t stand those simple answers. So I asked “What was your special class?” He said “Art! And we didn’t have it in our classroom!” I asked “Why not?” He said “Cause there were teachers eating lunch… Continue reading Colors
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
I picked up the kids from school today and in the car on the way home they told me about their day. Gillian said “John got a ban-did.” I said “I saw that. John what happened?” John said “I fell and got a cut. And it was bleeding. I can’t run fast now.” I asked… Continue reading The Band-Aid

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
John was playing outside at school today and fell down the stairs to the slide. He said “I was going down the stairs and I think I missed a step!” Poor boy scraped his cheek and forehead and fell into the mulch. While he was in the shower tonight, he complained that his eye hurt… Continue reading John 0, Slide 1
Today we went to Grandma and Grandpa’s house for lunch. We met Aunt Betty, Uncle Joe, Uncle Bob, Aunt Trish, and the cousins. We had lunch and the kids went outside to play.

Today John’s class and the Dinosaur class went on a field trip to Green Meadow Farms. John told me all about his trip. “First we got on a bus!
