Yesterday John was scheduled off from school and I had planned to bring him to work with me. We woke up yesterday morning and Gillian’s school had a 10:00 am start and Daddy had a 10:30 start. So the only options were for me to wait out Gillian’s delay or bring her to work with… Continue reading A day at the office
Today was yet another snow day. In anticipation of being stuck inside the house all day, I ran to the food store on Wednesday night. Normally I avoid food stores before a storm, but honestly it wasn’t that bad. Luckily I didn’t need bread or milk. I just needed some supplies to make chicken torilla… Continue reading Snow day projects
John’s bus stop is at the corner of our street. It is a house away from our house. I normally walk with John to the bus stop. We hang out and talk and wait for the bus. Since the weather has been very cold lately, we have been driving to the bus stop. It’s ridiculous. … Continue reading The Bus Stop
Aunt Betty came over on Sunday to help me decorate Valentine’s cookies. John and Daddy decided they would build Legos all day. Gillian, on the other hand, told me “I’s going to help you. I do the sprinkles!” When Aunt Betty arrived, Gillian squirmed into her lap and refused to move. Again she told us… Continue reading Cookie assistant
On Saturday, Gillian and I ran some errands in the morning and then went straight to John’s basketball game. Daddy said that they got there early and John got to practice.

They trace the letter and at the end of the week they make a picture of the letter. They started with… Continue reading The alphabet
Yesterday I was getting her dressed to go outside. We couldn’t find a particular hat. She said “I want the one I got for Christmas.” I knew the hat she was looking for but it was in Daddy’s car. I told her that and we went outside. I looked in Daddy’s car and I found… Continue reading The Hat
I woke up this morning, and it wasn’t snowing. But I checked online to see if the kids had school. Both schools were closed in anticipation of today’s snow storm. I told Daddy about the school closures and he said “Okay.” Luckily, he was scheduled off today because he worked on Saturday. I got ready… Continue reading Another Snow Day
Everyday I ask the kids “What was your favorite part of the day?” The kids answers are always amusing. Most days they say “Playing outside.” But with the cold weather we have had lately, I haven’t gotten that response. Yesterday I asked John what his favorite part of the day, he said “Thinking about you!”… Continue reading Favorite
