While John was in the preschool class at DreamBuilder’s Academy, they learned about Native Americans. Each student was given an Indian name. John was dubbed “big talker.” If you follow my blog, you know that John always has something witty to say or and opinion about any subject. Tonight we let John pick dinner. He… Continue reading Big Talker
We were watching “The Big Bang Theory” tonight and the characters were playing Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, Spock. John thought that was the silliest thing. He kept going “Spock?” He then told me that Spock is not in Rock, Paper, Scissors. I was very surprised that he even knew the game. I had him explain… Continue reading Rock, Paper, Scissors
I got stuck at the office a little late tonight. I called Daddy on my way home. As soon as I said hello, I heard a small voice say “mama?” Daddy and Gillian answered the phone together. I let them know that I was running late and was on my way home. I got home… Continue reading Typical Wednesday
Daddy and I do not believe it is necessary to celebrate Valentine’s Day. We celebrate our love and relationship everyday. However we do not stop our kids from enjoying all the fun. We made Valentine’s cookies for John’s class. John signed all of his Avenger Valentine’s cards. Daddy wrote out Gillian’s Tinkerbell cards. We also… Continue reading Hallmark Holiday
Caught Gillian loves to eat. And she will try anything. Even when I was pregnant with her, she had an interesting palate. She loved spicey food. I was actually having contractions while eating hot wings (and no I never had heartburn). Occassionally, I pack Gillian a jelly sandwich for lunch. Tonight on our way… Continue reading Fudgy for a pudgy
I got a few boxes in the mail today. When the kids got home they didn’t even notice the boxes in the living room. I quickly emptied the biggest one and let John and Gillian climb in. If you read my blog daily I am sure you already know of my children’s love of boxes.… Continue reading Forts
In previous posts, I have discussed Gillian’s love of music. This morning I gave her my phone to listen to music again. She refused to give it back to me until we got to school. I finally got my phone back and she went to play with her friends. Tonight when Daddy got home, they… Continue reading Dancing Queen
I found John sitting on the arm of the couch sitting criss-cross applesauce with his arms out and going “hmmmmm.” He refuses to tell me who taught him how to meditate. I’m not sure if someone taught him or if he saw it on “Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness.” I know that Crane meditates… Continue reading Meditation
First of all let me apologize for not blogging since Thursday night. I have two full time jobs: 1) mother to two wonderful kids and 2) controller at Mortgage Success Source. Both jobs take a little bit of juggling and making quick decisions. Since I do have a day job I have tend to have… Continue reading Super Bowl (Mom) Weekend
We encourage the kids to play with all types of toys. Gillian prefers her baby dolls but every once in awhile we find her babies in trucks or cars. Or we find Gillian pushing a dinosaur or a turtle in her shipping cart. She loves John’s dump truck. She had used it for a baby… Continue reading Toys will be toys
