John and Gillian have not been listening very well lately. Last night we were watching cartoons before bed and John kept jumping on my bed. I must have said “Stop jumping on the bed” like a dozen times. So I thought I would teach them a lesson and I had Buddy leave them a message.… Continue reading Listen Better
Gillian got the nickname Gilly Bean when she was only a few weeks old. I mainly call her Beanie. I think I need to stop. Daddy asked her today what her name was. She replied “Gillian Beanie!” We were expecting her to say Gillian Marie. I will have to make more of an effort to… Continue reading Beanie Girl
We started Easter weekend by visiting the Easter Bunny. As you know visiting the Easter Bunny did not go well, but the rest of the weekend was great! We went to Grandma’s house on Good Friday for potato pancakes, applesauce and green beans. Good Friday dinner is probably my favorite meal of the year. I… Continue reading Easter weekend
Daddy and I decided to take the kids to see Santa today. I talked to Gillian before we left the house and asked her what she wants Santa to bring her. She said “Presents. Baby dolls. Loopsy.” She was very prepared to talk to Santa. We got to the mall and waited in line. Gillian… Continue reading Visit with Santa
Mimi gave the kids a bear that says “I love chocolate.” I conveniently left the bear at Mimi’s house. When the kids were at Mimi’s house this past weekend John found the bear and decided he needed to come back to our house. He has been playing with this bear all week. This morning he… Continue reading Chocolate
Tonight we took the kids to the mall for a quick dinner and to do a few quick errands. This was our first time walking the entire mall without a stroller. After we ate, we walked towards the big stores. John asked “Can we go on the elevator?” I suggested that we take the escalator… Continue reading The escalator
We were asking the kids what they want for Christmas. Gillian said “Baby doll. And Mickey Mouse!” John said “I want something to play music. A blaster!” I looked at Daddy and we both were confused. We had no idea what he was talking about. So Daddy says why don’t you draw it for me?… Continue reading Blaster
The kids found Buddy the elf taking a marshmallow bath in the bathroom sink this morning. Tonight I gave Gillian a bath. She climbed in the tub and looked around and said “Where are the marshmallows?” Last night I told Gillian it was bed time. Normally she gets up and runs to her room. Last… Continue reading Marshmallows & chocolate
I asked Gillian what she wants Santa to bring her. She said “Baby dolls!” And that’s it. Every time she says “Baby dolls!” I asked John what he wants Santa to bring. He said “I know. I want a wish box.” I had no idea what he was talking about. He explained to me “A… Continue reading Wish box
I gave the kids a bath tonight. Lately John has been showering so it is pretty rare to have the two of them in the tub together. Tonight they were very good in the bathtub. No fighting just a few giggles. They were playing with John’s Spider-Man and Iceman. Gillian put Spider-Man on the bathtub… Continue reading Splish splash
