On Sunday we had Aunt Missy’s baby shower. Gilly and I have been talking about the baby shower for a long time. She knew that it was a party for girls and that Aunt Missy was going to get presents for the baby. On Saturday, Gillian and I went to Target to get a few… Continue reading The girl party
Gillian is the best shopping companion. She entertains me and makes it fun. On Saturday, we went to the outlets to get the kids some new clothes. Just the two of us (no boys). Gillian immediately went in the store and started looking at clothes. She argued with me “No. I like this one.” She… Continue reading Shopping
Gillian’s school was closed today for an in-service for the teachers. I asked Grandma if she would watch Gillian during the day. Gillian was super excited to have a day at Grandma’s all by herself.

Daddy was in charge of homework tonight, so I took Gillian to the food store to pick up some bread. I asked her to get on her shoes and coat. She did both but then added sunglasses to her outfit. It was dark out, so I said “Gillian, you don’t need them. The sun isn’t… Continue reading Bread
