This morning on our way to camp, the chicken dance came on the radio. I danced along with the song. From the backseat I could feel John’s disappointment. He said “You know that car is really far ahead of us.” I said “John you have to have some fun.” He shook his head and said… Continue reading Serious-er
John’s camp is not far from my office and I get the pleasure of dropping and picking him up everyday. Most days when I pick up he gives me the run down of what happened at camp. Today, I asked “How was camp today?” He said “I don’t want to talk now. I’ll tell you… Continue reading Underwater
I sent the kids upstairs to the bathroom for bathtime. I found them sitting on the floor waiting for me. Gillian was hugging John. John looked at me and said “What it’s her? She’s doing it.” Gillian said “What? I just love my brother.” They are so sweet to each other. Before bed they made… Continue reading Kisses and squeezies
This morning John helped me by filling up our K-cup carousel. He said “I’m going to fill the middle row in a pattern!” And he did. He filled up the entire carousel and said “Do you know what? If I spin it really fast the cups fly out!” I laughed and said “Are you sure?”… Continue reading K-cups
I just went to check on Gillian. She was still awake and on top of a pile of blankets and stuffed animals. I asked “Why are you still awake?” She said “My mat is messed up.” I laughed. “Your what?” She again said “My mat. Someone messed up my mat.” I pulled all the blankets… Continue reading My mat
We put on a movie tonight for the kids. Daddy thought they would like to see “Dunston checks in.” They had never seen this movie before, so John had a lot of questions. What’s this about? Do you know that this is a grown up show? Have you ever seen this? Are you sure we… Continue reading Questions
John’s camp elective last week was cartooning. I have to say that I am really impressed with his drawings. The picture below is my favorite. He also made a whole series about a pig and a cow. He says “The cow is the good guy. And the pig is bad. The pig is driving… Continue reading Cartooning
Tonight we went to Mimi’s for dinner. The kids played nicely in the backyard until we heard “Someone’s here!” I asked “Who Aunt Missy?” Gillian said “No! Uncle T and Aunt Missy!” Aunt Missy is due to have the baby any day now. I jokingly said to Gillian “Tell the baby it’s time to come… Continue reading The belly
Today at John’s camp they had sailboat races. On Tuesday they painted their boats and worked on the sails, but today was race day. John’s camp posts pictures every couple of days and today they posted pictures of the race. I was so excited to see John doing his race. I picked him up from… Continue reading Sailboat races
Just a typical Tuesday night with the kids. Picked them up from camp and school, then dinner, a quick visit from Mimi, bath and then bed. I checked on them a little while ago. Love that John is snuggling with Travis, the turtle. And that Spike, the dragon, is protecting Gillian. Sweet dreams kids.
