A friend kindly offered to watch my girls for me for a few hours this afternoon so I am enjoying a nice afternoon to myself with my computer, a diet coke, and Pandora to keep me company. Bliss.

Nothing
Adrianna: Mommy, how do you spell nothing? Amber: N-O-T-H-I-N-G Adrianna: No, I mean how do you spell nothing! After a moment of confusion on my part, it turns out she didn’t want me to spell the actual word ‘nothing’ but wanted to know how something that wasn’t there (i.e. nothing) would be spelled. Hmmm, not […]
Despicable Me
The girls and I went and saw Despicable Me today. Adrianna loved it. Bree slept through the whole thing.
Random Photos From Last Week
Last week, our calendar was pretty uneventful. Lots of nice time spent at home or running errands. (This week, however, has been a different story! Busy, busy, busy…) Bree hanging out in her exersaucer. Enjoying her oatmeal. Adrianna painting her birdhouse. Lots of love for Chloe. And lots of love for Molly. Bree often resists […]
Adrianna’s First Barbie
I bought Adrianna her first Barbie doll last week, at her request. The doll is actually Princess Aurora, AKA Sleeping Beauty. Adrianna has been wanting this particular doll for a couple months because her hair changes color in the water and we all know how much Adrianna likes to play with water. I like this […]
New Recipes
I think I am falling back in love with my crock pot. With it, I made some delicious corn chowder and also some fried chicken this week. Both turned out fabulous and now I have two new recipes to add to the cooking repertoire. I also made my own seasoned salt today. Just call me […]
First Fan Fiction
Adrianna wrote and illustrated her first book of fan fiction tonight about…well, I am sure you can guess. Princess Peach. And Bowser. She started her book early this morning. I peeked into her room and could hear her sounding out words as she wrote. Later, she asked me to spell “Princess Peach” out loud for […]
Garage Sale
I am exhausted and a little sunburned after our 2 day garage sale. But the good news is I made some money, got rid of some large items, had a fantastic time with my mom and sisters, and we had time to play Bunco with friends too. Only downside to the weekend was the weird […]
Sitting and Working on Crawling
Bree can mostly sit up on her own unsupported. I say “mostly” because she CAN do it if propped up just right. She still tends to sway around a little…she’s still working on the whole balance thing. She also has been busy trying to stay up on her hands and knees. Up until this week, […]
Super Mario Galaxy 2
Adrianna earned a $50 gift card for taking a test today as a part of a core knowledge charter school study. And what did our little girl buy with her earnings? Why, the new Mario game (Super Mario Galaxy 2) for the Wii, of course! After we had played it together this afternoon, I later […]
