Last night, we watched Toy Story 3 before putting the kids to bed. They were in bed for a few minutes when John was at our doorway. “Guys? I’m a little sad.” I asked “What’s the matter?” He ran over to me rubbing his eyes and laid on top of me. I asked again, “What’s… Continue reading Sad
Yesterday, we spent the day at Aunt Missy’s parent’s house. The Akers (or DaBakers as Gilly says) have a pool and we were lucky to be invited over to BBQ and swim. The kids didn’t waste any time and were in the pool within minutes of our arrival (which means mommy was too). Gillian insisted… Continue reading Swimming
John decided today that he wanted to count the money in his piggy bank. He had an enrichment class at school where they learned about money. So he is pretty good with counting. He emptied his entire piggy bank and pulled out all the quarters. We piled them in piles of four and counted. He… Continue reading Piggy Banks
At dinner tonight, Gillian told us about school. “It was Dashiel’s party. We had pizza and cup-a-cakes.” Daddy said “And next week it is Grace’s birthday.” Gilly said “Grace is new. And she doesn’t like Dorlisa. Dorlisa didn’t look pretty today. You know why? She was wearing orange. And Grace doesn’t like orange. Dorlisa is… Continue reading Mean girl
On Sunday we had Aunt Missy’s baby shower. Gilly and I have been talking about the baby shower for a long time. She knew that it was a party for girls and that Aunt Missy was going to get presents for the baby. On Saturday, Gillian and I went to Target to get a few… Continue reading The girl party
We signed John up for T-ball this year. Since John has never played before, we signed him up for instructional T-ball. They met every Saturday and learned the basics of the game. This Saturday was their last week. And this week they had a scrimmage against team 4. John’s team met before the scrimmage and… Continue reading Last day of t-ball
Gillian said to me tonight, as I was pulling a tray of cookies out of the oven, “My belly is still hungry.” I giggled. She continued, “You know what makes my belly feel better? Cookies! He likes cookies.” I said “Oh really?” She smiled big and said “Yes! Him’s likes cookies. Can I have a… Continue reading The belly
My alarm is set for 5:45. It gives me enough time to get ready for work before I have to wake the kids up around 6:45. This morning I woke up before the alarm and I went right into the bathroom so I didn’t disturb Daddy. I guess that didn’t work because it wasn’t long… Continue reading Early morning
Tonight while the kids were in the bathtub, John asked me “Do you remember when I was born?” What a question. How could a mom ever forget when her child arrived? Anyway, I said “Of course.” He smiled and said “Do you remember when I walked for the first time?” I told him “Yes. And I… Continue reading Reminiscing
Daddy picked up Gillian from school today. In the car she asked “Where’s Mommy?” Daddy said “Who? My Mommy?” Gillian said “No, my Mommy. My Mommy makes us tasty things to eat.” Daddy said “Yes, you have a wonderful Mommy.” Gillian continued “I like the things she makes. But Johnny doesn’t. He doesn’t like broccoli… Continue reading The story
