My kids are clumsy. John runs into walls. Gillian falls out of chairs. John falls off couches. Gillian trips over the dog. They come by this honestly. I am very clumsy myself. But they take it to a new level. Tonight Gillian ran to her room. She completely ran into our bedroom door. She hit… Continue reading I’m okay!
On Saturday, I took Gillian to a birthday party for her friend Ellis. She was super excited about going to the party, but when we arrived she got very shy. She refused to leave my side. Ellis had Amazing Athletes come and entertain the kids. Before Amazing Athletes started the program the parents were asked… Continue reading Super Hero Party
Yesterday John’s school practiced a lock down drill. Let me first say that I find it sad that they need to have these kinds of drills. But tonight at dinner, we asked John to describe it. He said “First we were working. And then they announced over the speaker that we were going into lock… Continue reading Lock down
Tonight I gave the kids a bath, John read books to Gillian, and I read a few pages of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. Then the three of us snuggled in my bed with Gillian’s manket. John decided to get his Grandma blanket so we could all get under it. After about thirty… Continue reading The fortune
I brought Gillian to work with me today. She was due for her annual physical and I figured it was easier to bring her to work instead of dropping her off at school after her appointment. Plus then her teachers didn’t get stuck dealing with a cranky little girl. We went to work first and… Continue reading Exhausted
Tonight we ate pizza in the living room and watched Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. I know. It doesn’t sound that exciting. But it was. John was super excited to see all the characters that we have read about come to life. He jumped on the couch when he was excited and hid his… Continue reading Family movie
John’s school was closed today for Rosh Hashanah. I brought him to work with me. It was raining this morning, while in the car headed to the dealership and John said “It’s too yucky to go to work.” Kinda hard to disagree with that. But I said “Sorry Buddy, we gotta go to work even… Continue reading A day at work
A few weeks ago, I started reading John “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone.” I did the same thing last year. But he really didn’t really get into it. And it was hard to keep his attention. So I started reading it again. He loves it. He remembers what I read about and questions everything.… Continue reading Harry Potter
Today was Gillian’s second day of dance class. She was super excited to get out of bed this morning. Dance class certainly motivates her! Tonight she told us about class. She said “We did this!” And she stood on her tippy toes and spun around in a circle. Daddy asked her to do it again.… Continue reading Dance – lesson 2
It’s been a long time since I have enjoyed a tea party with Gillian. Yesterday Aunt Betty and Justin came to visit. The kids were playing happily downstairs while Aunt Betty and I talked upstairs. We went to check on them and found John and Justin playing video games. Gillian, on the other hand, had… Continue reading Tea Party
John and Gill went up a hill
