Gillian and I were singing “The wheels on the bus” last night. She sang a few few verses and when we got to “the people on the bus go up and down.” She sang that verse and said “They wouldn’t go up and down if they have a seatbelt!” Good observation Gillian. This morning, Daddy… Continue reading Seatbelt and coffee
Two years ago today, I posted my first blog entry. I started it as a way to remember all the little things my kids say or do. I hope you enjoyed all the posts from the past year. Here are a few of my favorites: Not Daddy The Adventures of Buddy the… Continue reading 2nd Anniversary
Every morning I fight with Gillian. She hates getting her hair brushed. Well, that’s a little dramatic, she doesn’t hate it. She just doesn’t like to stay still while I am brushing her hair. This morning I decided to do something different with her hair. It was something I saw on Pinterest and I thought… Continue reading Gillian’s hair
Today we were running errands with the kids. In the car, I told the kids that they needed to behave at while we were shopping or there would be no shows when we got home. John said “Well I mostly cleaned the basement.” When he said “mostly” he put his hands in the air and wiggled… Continue reading Oh John
Gillian had her annual checkup scheduled for yesterday. Yesterday morning, Gillian and I waited with John at the bus stop. She cried when he got on the bus, “Where they taking my Johnny?” I explained to her that he was going to school and we would see him later. She didn’t understand. But we got in the car… Continue reading Gillian well visit
I got home tonight and I could hear the shower running. I went upstairs and was surprised to see that John was in the shower (I had assumed that it was Gillian). I asked Daddy what happened. He said “Go look at John’s clothes.” John’s pants were disgusting. They were covered in dirt. I again… Continue reading dirt & mulch
Daddy buckled Gillian into her car seat and got into the car. When he sat down, Gillian said “Daddy, I want you to drive.” Daddy said “No. I want you to drive.” Gillian said “I can’t drive. I too tiny!” Daddy said “You can drive. I will sit in the back. You come up front… Continue reading driving
John started golf lessons three weeks ago. He goes every Tuesday. Poppy has been picking John up from school and taking him to the lessons. After John’s first week, he proudly told me “I got the highest score! No one else had a score that high!” We explained to him that in golf you want… Continue reading Golf lessons
Stupid is a bad word in our house. Anytime the kids say stupid they are sent to time out. Tonight at dinner, Daddy was saying that he felt stupid. Gillian looked at me and said “Daddy say stupid.” I said, “Yes he did. Daddy, please don’t say stupid.” Gillian wasn’t happy with that response. So… Continue reading Stupid
This morning, John came into our bed and snuggled up next to me. He grabbed my arm and started rolling back and forth. I was ok with the snuggling, but not when he was basically tugging my arm. I kicked him out of the bed. But of course I couldn’t fall back to sleep after… Continue reading Wake up
John and Gill went up a hill
