John told me tonight, “When I grow up, I’m going to still wear glasses. I’m not going to get contacts. But on my second pair I’m going to make guards that would flap down and cover my glasses. I would still be able to see, but the guard would block the smoke. You know when… Continue reading Glasses
Gillian wanted Pez for dessert tonight. She had a brand new lamb Pez from her Easter basket. She couldn’t open and asked me for help “Why do they make it so hard to open?” I said “I don’t know.” Then she asked “Why do they put instructions on the back?” I said “I don’t know.… Continue reading Pez instructions
Friday afternoon, I found Gillian glueing construction paper together in the laundry room. I asked “Gilly, whatcha doing?” She looked up and said “I’m making a dress!” Don’t know why I didn’t think of that. I left her alone. Later I asked “What made you decide to make a dress out of paper?” She… Continue reading Fashion by Gillian
I loved the kids Easter outfits this year. I always make them pose for a picture on the front steps. This year they really got into it. Here are some shots from our little photo shoot.

We don’t always make it to visit with the Easter Bunny. I asked Daddy “Should we take the kids to see the bunny?” He said “I don’t know what do you think?” So Daddy asked the kids “Do you want to see the Easter Bunny?” John said “Yes! It’s tradition!” Gillian said “I like bunnies.… Continue reading Easter Bunny
Gillian loves vegetables. Every night at dinner she eats her veggies first. And she always asks for second helpings. Tonight she didn’t even bother to put the veggies on her plate.
John says to me tonight “Mom, do you know there’s a fat and a P H phat?” He’s been learning about homophones in school, so I wasn’t surprised by his question. I said “Yes. Do you know the difference?” He said “No, not really.” I told him “P H phat is another way to say… Continue reading Fat or Phat
