Tonight Gillian pulled all the cushions off of the couch. She started jumping up and down on the cushion-less couch. She would jump up and land on her tushy and she would laugh. John noticed what she was doing and had to join her. The two of them jumped together and laughed. I know we… Continue reading Trampoline
The kids and I had a relaxing night at home. I made grilled cheese sandwiches for dinner and put on John’s favorite movie (this week): Popper’s Penguins. I asked John to explain the movie to Gillian. He said “Gilly, there’s this one penguin his name is Loudy. And he’s really noisy.” That’s how he explained… Continue reading Cake
Today John’s class went on a field trip to the Paper Moon Theater in Atlantic Highlands. I signed up to be a chaperon. It was my first time chaperoning a field trip, so I was a little excited. John was super excited. Not only did he get to go on a school bus, but Mommy was going with him… Continue reading Field Trip

He was also a little disappointed that Gillian did not get to wear her bathing suit to school. But don’t worry, Gillian got to participate in water day. It was… Continue reading The Carwash
Gillian is a silly girl. Tonight she found a pair of sneakers. These sneakers were in a bag of hand-me-down shoes given to John by Aunt Trish. Another thing to note, these sneakers were the only ones in the bag that light up. Also they were a size 11 and Gillian is a 6. Gillian… Continue reading My silly Bean
Last night we took the kids to the Italian Festival at Freehold Raceway. There were rides and food and fireworks. John was very excited about going on the rides. The first one he went on Gillian was able to go with him. She was a little unsure at first going by herself, but after the… Continue reading Italian Festival
The kids were up a little late (8:15) and I suggested that we go outside to catch lightning bugs. John is a little afraid of bugs so I was surprised when he ran outside to catch lightning bugs. Daddy showed him how to catch the bugs and John went running into the yard. I was… Continue reading Lightning Bugs
