Daddy was driving Gillian home from school tonight and Gillian kept saying “Daddy, there’s a bug!” Daddy couldn’t do anything about it because he was driving. The bug was on the back of the headrest of the seat in front of her. She calmed down for a few minutes while the bug moved to the… Continue reading The bug
Gillian is the best shopping companion. She entertains me and makes it fun. On Saturday, we went to the outlets to get the kids some new clothes. Just the two of us (no boys). Gillian immediately went in the store and started looking at clothes. She argued with me “No. I like this one.” She… Continue reading Shopping
Daddy always let’s me sleep in on the weekends. He tells the kids to not bother me and I normally get an extra hour of sleep. This morning Daddy got up to let Duncan out. I heard someone else get up and go in the bathroom and then they headed downstairs. I assumed it was… Continue reading Saturday morning
The past couple of nights have been typical. Pick the kids up from school, go home, eat dinner, do homework, bathtime and bedtime. The only thing out of the ordinary is that we have given Gillian a workbook to do while John was working on homework. The book has tracing, letters and shapes in it.… Continue reading Gillian homework
While we were cleaning the dinner table tonight, the kids took a quick dance break to dance to The Chipmunks’ version of Party Rock.

Gillian then announced to everyone, “I have to go potty!” I ran her to the bathroom, shushing her the entire time. Gillian took… Continue reading The diner
I picked up the kids from school today. Once I had John in the car he said to Gillian and I, “I need to talk to Gillian before dinner. In private.” Gillian said “I got my Muddah’s day present in my bag. And you can’t have it until Muddah’s day. On Muddah’s day you have… Continue reading Muddah
I keep our bowl of Easter candy on top of the hutch. After dinner tonight, John asked for some candy for dessert. I got up and reached for the bowl. Meanwhile, John pushed his chair over to the hutch. I told him “You can’t reach it even on top of the chair.” He tried and… Continue reading Tall
Tonight at dinner, we did our usual conversation starter, “How was your day?” John said “It was good.” I can’t stand those simple answers. So I asked “What was your special class?” He said “Art! And we didn’t have it in our classroom!” I asked “Why not?” He said “Cause there were teachers eating lunch… Continue reading Colors
