We started our Thanksgiving by making monkey bread. It was so much fun watching John eat the monkey bread. He loved it this year and put a pretty sizable dent in his side of the bread. Gillian loved it too. And again Mommy and Daddy ate too much. We then watched the parade. Gillian loved… Continue reading Thanksgiving
I’m currently snuggled next to John in my bed with Duncan at our feet. John asked me yesterday if he could sleep in the big bed with me. Normally I wouldn’t allow this, but Daddy is away so I decided it would be okay for one night. We watched one TV show and then I… Continue reading Snuggles
This morning while I was getting ready, Gillian was exploring in my closet. She first pulled out a pair of flip flops. She put them on and walked to me and said “I a jumping frog!” Then she jumped across the room. She got bored with those flip flops and went back to the closet.… Continue reading Shoes and the man

On Sunday, Daddy and I looked around the basement and decided that the kids have created a ridiculous mess. Their toys are everywhere.

I picked the kids up from school today. As I put Gillian in the car, she said “I nice today. I no hit Dora! I hug Dora!” Of course hearing that I told her that I was very proud of her. We got home and I had Daddy ask Gillian how her day was. She… Continue reading Changing story
Today Daddy and I were upstairs watching football and decorating cookies. We could hear the kids in the basement playing and giggling. They sounded like they were having a good time, but we couldn’t see what they were doing. Gillian’s giggles could be heard upstairs and it sounded like she was having a good time. … Continue reading giggles
One silver lining to being stuck at home for Hurricane Sandy, was that Gillian has finally come to terms with the fire whistle.

When… Continue reading Whistle Not Nice
