Cinderella
Every night this week, we have given the kids some extra time before bed to read books. Tonight I asked Gillian to read me a story. She picked Cinderella. I recorded her telling the story. I hope you enjoy it. I did.
Car ride
Daddy called me on his way home tonight. We were discussing dinner plans when I heard “Hi Mommy!” I said “Hi Beansy!” I then heard her mumble something. And then Daddy said “Well I love Mommy too!” They are so sweet. Daddy told me the rest of the way home they played a little game.… Continue reading Car ride
Boycott
Daddy stayed home today with the kids for their snow day. He called me at work to tell me this story. John and Gillian were upstairs watching shows. John came downstairs and told Daddy, “Gillian’s watching girl shows. I’m boycotting.” Daddy said “John do you even know what boycotting is?” John looked at Daddy and… Continue reading Boycott
Monday Morning
John woke up this morning and walked to our room. I saw him standing in the hallway and said “John? What are you doing? It’s a school day.” He was so mad. He put his hands in the air and huffed at me. Daddy chimed in too and said “You got to get ready for… Continue reading Monday Morning

But then I put on music for John and… Continue reading Painting nails
Girl colors
Tonight I dried Gillian after her bath and she asked “Where’s the yellow towel?” I told her, “John used it.” She giggled and said “You gave him a girl towel.” I asked her “Why is it a girl towel?” She said “Cause yellow is a girl color.” I hate this logic. So I said “There… Continue reading Girl colors
Cookies
Yesterday, Aunt Betty and I decorated Valentine’s cookies. Gillian insisted on helping. She got everything ready, the paper plates and all the sprinkles. She started with a cookie that spelled out I ❤️ U. She said “I don’t know what this is.” But that didn’t stop her. She decorated it with a lot of blue… Continue reading Cookies
Paddington
When we first saw commercials for the new Paddington Bear movie, I told the kids “Mommy has a Paddington Bear.” They didn’t believe me, but my bear had been sitting on Gillian’s dresser for years. I received my Paddington Bear many years ago. I think my Aunt Mary gave him to me. He is well… Continue reading Paddington
Consumers
John has a test this week on consumers, producers, and products. Daddy was quizzing him this morning. Daddy first asked “What are producers?” John said “Producers make things.” Daddy said “Good, what are consumers?” He said “Consumers buy the products. Namely Mom!”
The Photographer
Gillian asked Aunt Betty yesterday if she could take pictures with her phone. These are some of Gillian’s pictures.
