I pulled into the driveway tonight, got out of the car and opened John’s car door. “Mom, can I go out of the front door?” Sure. Why not. I close the door and walk around to Gillian’s side. As I am unbuckling her, she says “Can I go out the door with John?” Sure. Why… Continue reading Driving
Daddy picked up the kids today from school. When they got home, Daddy gave John the keys to open the front door while he got Gillian out of her carseat.

Lately John has been taking showers, while Gillian has been takin bathes. Tonight I had both of them in the bathtub together. John did “This Little Piggy” on Gillian’s toes. Gillian loves it. I love it too. My favorite part is when he says “This little piggy has roast beef!” Because it sounds like “This… Continue reading Bath time fun
I woke John up this morning. I said to him, it’s a school day. He said “I know! I just don’t wanna go to school. I don’t like doing all that work!” I said you need to go to school. Remember you told me one time that you wanted to be an astronaut. It takes… Continue reading Astronauts and Computers
This morning we were watching cartoons in the basement. Daddy and I were both drinking coffee. Gillian came over to me and asked “I have some?” I was a little surprised, and said my coffee?

I picked the kids up from school today. Gillian came running over to me. John, on the other hand, looked upset. He slowly walked over to me and hugged me. He started to cry.

A few days ago, I wrote a post about Gillian’s umbrella and boots. Well, every day she tries to wear the boots or use the umbrella. And every day we say “It’s not raining. You can use the umbrella when it rains.” Today, Daddy picked the kids up from school. He and the kids left… Continue reading Rain
I made corned beef and cabbage for dinner tonight. When John heard what we were having he put his head down on the table. Gillian, of course, copied her brother.
