Busy weekend here. Daddy rearranged the living room while Mommy was busy baking, shopping, and cleaning. Today the kids kept themselves busy by playing and basically just staying away from Mommy and Daddy. I went food shopping and Gillian greeted me at the door when I came home. She took a bag from me and… Continue reading Funnies
The kids went back to school on Wednesday after staying home two days. John was excited to be back but Gillian was not. Daddy picked the kids up from school that night and was informed that Gillian had a fever and could not go to school on Thursday. Daddy stayed home with Gillian today. I… Continue reading Typical morning
John woke up around 3 this morning. He was crying and coughing. I went right to him and tried to calm him down. He wanted to come to our room mainly because he knows that I have water. And his throat hurt. I carried him to our bed and we settled in. Two second later,… Continue reading Sick Kids
John heard on the radio the other night that we might get snow today. This morning he woke up and wanted to know where the snow was. We explained to him that the snow probably wouldn’t come until after school. I also told him that I had a secret way to get it to it… Continue reading Inside out PJs
I don’t know when it started but Gillian had been calling people or things “best ever!” It’s pretty simple.

I give Gillian baths at night. And every night there is drama about getting the soap out of her hair. I have tried to get her to lay down on her back and lean her head back but she doesn’t want to try. She gets upset and refuses to lay in the water. Even though… Continue reading Bath time assistant
Daddy and I decided to take the kids to Manasquan today. It was our first time to the beach since Hurricane Sandy. We bundled the kids up and packed them in the car. In the car, we reminded John about how the hurricance destroyed houses and the beachfront. We also talked about Gee-Gee’s. For those… Continue reading The Beach
I went to check on Gillian this morning. She was awake but still laying in her bed. She quickly got up and gave me a big squeezie. She went potty and we went back into her room to get her changed. I was able to get panties on her and then she started dancing. She… Continue reading Dancing
Today was John’s friend’s birthday. Remy’s mom invited is over for dinner and cake. Normally I wouldn’t go to a party on a school night but it was going to be a small group. Plus I felt like I owed John. The week after Christmas I ran into Remy’s mom when picking up the kids.… Continue reading Party
