2nd Anniversary

Two years ago today, I posted my first blog entry.  I started it as a way to remember all the little things my kids say or do.  I hope you enjoyed all the posts from the past year.  Here are a few of my favorites:

I hope you enjoyed walking down memory lane with me.  Here's to another year of John & Gill's adventures. 



Running Errands

Daddy and I had to run a few errands this morning. I got Gillian dressed. She was very excited to go shipping. John, on the other hand, was not happy to hear that we were going out. He asked "How many stores are we going to?" Daddy told him "Ten, maybe fifteen." This news did not improve John's attitude. "Come on! Really? Ten stores? That's going to take forever!" In the car on the way to Costco, John suggested "Maybe we could split up and Daddy and I can go to two stores and Mommy and Gill can go to two stores. That means we will go to four stores. Cause two plus two is four!" Daddy said, "You may be right. I think we will only go to four stores. But we aren't going to split up." John was not happy. But we got to Costco and his attitude quickly changed. He sat in the cart and asked for free samples. He didn't insult any of the employees. So all in all a successful trip out. 

Our next stop was Target. We only had a few things to pick up and we were only in the store for a little bit. On our way out of the store, John says "It's raining." Gillian says "Only a little bit." John says "No. It's raining a lot. We need to hurry up and get in the car." Gillian says "Only a little bit." My tough girl. But she was right. It was barely raining. 

We only stopped at one more store. And Daddy ran in and left us in the car. I am not sure why John was unhappy about running errands. I wish someone would push me around a store while I ate free samples. 

Costco adventures

In the car on our way to Costco today, I said to Daddy "What's that clicking sound?" The clicking I heard sounded like it was coming from the engine. But from the backseat, Gillian said "It's me!" And she started clicking her tongue and continued to do it until we got to the store. The kids love going to Costco. They like sitting next to each other in the cart and they love the samples. Today we went to a different Costco than usual, because we had other errands to do this morning. We rolled into the store. John proudly showed the greeter my Costco card. He then said "Wow! I'm really impressed!" Daddy and I asked him why he was impressed. He said "Cause they moved everything around! I'm really impressed!" We explained to him that it was a different store. He said "But it's Costco!" Again we explained that it was Costco just not the same Costco we normally go to.

We went through the entire store and got to the register. We left the kids in the cart as the ladies rang us up and loaded the cart. The one lady said hello to the kids. You never know how they will respond. Either they will not say anything or they will talk their ear off. Today it was the latter. Gillian said "Them are my parents!" The lady giggled. John said "Don't squish the bread! We don't like squished bread!" So embarrassing! Daddy and I simultaneously said "John!" Luckily the lady was very understanding and said "I won't squish it! I don't like squished bread either."
