This morning on the way to school I put Christmas music on the radio. John and Gillian loved it. The first song that came on was “Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.” John said “Mommy, I have never seen a reindeer. Can I see a reindeer?” I told him that I had never seen a reindeer… Continue reading Christmas music
Today we went Christmas tree shopping with Uncle T, Aunt Missy, Mimi and Poppy. John loved the challenge of finding the perfect tree. He led Aunt Missy throughout the entire tree farm. After looking at what feels like every tree on the farm, we found our tree. The tree farm had a two part tag… Continue reading The perfect tree
This morning John found Buddy the elf in the kitchen. Buddy was making snowflakes. He left a big mess of pieces of paper. John saw Buddy and he said “Mommy, we were talking about decorating!” I said you are right, Buddy must have heard us talking. John said “He better clean up this mess!” We… Continue reading Smorgasbord
On our way to school this morning, John says “I remember something important. Today we are going on a trip!” I agreed with him and said do you remember where you are going? He replied “To the puppet theater! Are you coming today?” I told him that I would love to go on the trip… Continue reading The Field Trip
John had Amazing Athletes today. When we asked him what he did today, he said “Running!” Running seemed a little lame compared to previous weeks where they did basketball, baseball and soccer. So Daddy said just running? He said “We did relay races!” I asked him if he had to tag the other people on… Continue reading Relay Races
I think I have mentioned in earlier posts that Gillian likes to take her Jammie’s off at night. We put her to sleep and it normally takes her awhile to fall asleep. I guess during that time she gets bored and unzips her Jammie’s and snuggled under the covers in just her diaper. I do… Continue reading Caught
Gillian is a good mommy to her babies. She feeds them, she rocks them, she swaddles them and pushes them around in her stroller. Lately I have noticed that when the babies are crying she rocks them and says “Relax.” The other night, Duncan wanted to play and was running around and barking at Daddy… Continue reading Gilly says relax
Gillian loves to sing. This weekend she was either singing the ABCs or Ring Around the Rosie or even her own little mash up of the two. This morning she took two of her Barbie dolls by their little hands and started singing. She sang “Ring Around the Rosie pocket full of posey.” While she… Continue reading Ring Around the Rosie
Today we spent the entire day together. The kids woke up and found Buddy (he was hanging out in our bathroom holding a toothbrush). We then went to the movies. We saw Rise of the Guardians. John loved it. He sat and watched the whole thing. Gillian started out by sitting but go up and… Continue reading Family Day
The kids have an Elf on the Shelf. John named him Buddy. Buddy comes to visit us after Thanksgiving. Earlier in the week, we told John and Gillian that Buddy would be visiting us soon. John said “I gotta clean my room!” Well Buddy came back last night. John woke up this morning and came… Continue reading He’s back!
