Adrianna likes to make up her own jokes. After each punch line, she’ll ask me if they are funny. Here is just a sampling of the jokes she told during dinner tonight at “Rocket Bottom” (Rock Bottom Brewery). Q: Why do people ride on a train? A: To get away from foxes. Q: Why do […]
Country Music
From Greg: Today I was singing “All My Exes Live in Texas” and Adrianna said, “Stop! Stop singing like that! It’s annoying.” So there you have it folks country music is annoying.
Pizza
One 5 year old being difficult about doing schoolwork + one 9 month old who absolutely refuses to nap = one very frustrated mom today. Pizza Hut to the rescue!
Vultures
Bree is happily dropping cheerios to the floor, which is resulting in the dogs hanging around her booster chair like vultures.
Bowling
Family bowling night tonight – lots of fun. Adrianna had a tendency to roll her ball in such a way that it would bounce. Toward the end of the game, it ended up bouncing OVER the bumper and into the lane next to ours. Poor Greg Reimer ran to retrieve the ball from the other lane and […]
My Father’s Dragon
We are really enjoying the books that our Sonlight curriculum came with. We just started (and finished) reading “My Father’s Dragon” by Ruth Stiles Gannett together – fantastic book. We loved it so much that we read it all in two sittings rather than reading only a chapter a day for 10 days like the […]

This phase happened to coincide with my dropping her off at the nursery for church and MOPS. She cries when […]
Homeschooling Week 3
We just completed our third week of homeschooling. (We took a two-week break between weeks 2 and 3 for our California trip.) Adrianna loves playing with her math manipulatives. She often asks to do math, with the hope that the lesson will call for using them. Her favorite thing to do with them though is […]
Time for Myself
Adrianna was chattering at me nonstop today, which is a normal occurrence. It started with her making seemingly random scribbles on the whiteboard and wanted me to guess what they were. Adrianna: “What’s this one, Mom? Nope, try again! How about this one. No, it’s not a ghost. Try again!” I quickly tired of the […]
