Yesterday morning I was on the phone with Aunt Missy as I was getting the kids in the car to drive to the bus stop. We were talking about work. We got in the car and my phone synced with the car so everyone could hear our conversation. John started talking to me and I… Continue reading Snow is magic
John woke up a little while ago and snuggled up in our bed. I said “John, you can snuggle for a little bit, but then we have to get ready for school.” He said “Umm, it’s snowing.” I said “What?” He said “It’s snowing.” Daddy caved and said “No school today!” John smiled and said… Continue reading It’s snowing
Daddy and I overheard the following conversation: Gillian: You know, Miss Mary (one of her teachers) doesn’t like the snow. You know why? Because it kills her flowers. John: Well, you gotta look on the bright side, the snow only lasts a couple of days and then it’s gone. Gillian: Yea, but the flowers… Continue reading Flowers
Yesterday I was getting her dressed to go outside. We couldn’t find a particular hat. She said “I want the one I got for Christmas.” I knew the hat she was looking for but it was in Daddy’s car. I told her that and we went outside. I looked in Daddy’s car and I found… Continue reading The Hat
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.

Friday was a snow day for the entire family. I woke up early and John was the first one to join me. He was super excited about no school. Gillian, on the other hand, didn’t wake up until 9:30. The kids were good all day. They didn’t fight and they didn’t really ask to watch… Continue reading snow day
This morning it was hard to wake the kids up. I knew it would be rough and I sent them to bed at 7:30 the night before. But it didn’t help. I went in to wake up John. He just grunted at me and said “Why do I have to go back to school?” Gillian,… Continue reading back to school
We planned to do our annual Christmas tree shopping this afternoon. We met at Conover Tree farm in Wall and started our search for the perfect tree. Did I mention that it was snowing today? Well it was snowing. Not enough to cancel our trip, but enough to make it a little chilly for the… Continue reading Tree shopping
Gillian woke up this morning and looked out the window. She said “There’s snow on Daddy’s car!” We had to find Daddy right away so she could tell him about his car. John was already awake talking to Daddy about going “snowboarding.” We told the kids that we would go outside and play after Daddy… Continue reading sNOw day!
