The house is unbelievably quiet. Greg has taken Adrianna and Bree to the Lego movie as a “Daddy/Daughter Date” and Cate is taking a nap. It is so rare for me to find myself at HOME by myself (well, almost by myself). I am loving it. But I suppose it is a good time to […]

Star Wars Fan-Fiction
Adrianna just handed me the first chapter of a book she is writing. A fan fiction based on Star Wars. Apparently, she is a long lost sister of Luke and Leia and is going to visit the Death Star to see her father (spoiler alert), Darth Vader. Can’t wait to see where this goes! And […]
Adrianna and Bree Singing
Adrianna is often found sitting at the keyboard, inventing new little melodies. She’s got a great ear for music. Once Adrianna has played a song once or twice, Bree can often be heard in the background singing along (with her own made-up words). Bree picks up tunes quickly. Here is one of Adrianna’s newer compositions. […]
Stock Show
The girls and I enjoyed a morning at the National Western Stock Show. Saw lots of horses (to Bree’s delight) and they both got to ride a couple ponies too. Other than a few melt-downs for Bree (most likely due to not enough sleep + over-stimulation from the many people, noises, and smells), it was […]
Working / Playing
Working / playing in the yard and garage. Greg is making more built-in adjustable shelves for our house. Watching Daddy work in the garage. Except for when the loud saw is in use, at which time she runs away.
Rainbow Loom
Rainbow Loom class at the library with Adrianna’s BFF, Alexis. Two other good friends were also in attendance (they left before I thought to take a picture) so it was a lot of fun for her. And Bree enjoyed putting the bands on her finger as a “ring.” Have I mentioned lately how much I […]
Winter Song
Went upstairs to find Adrianna sitting at the window, lost in her own world. Turns out she was composing a new song about winter. Love it! The lyrics so far: The color is goneThe green grass is goingThe bitter coldIs growing and growing And the tune she is working on is pretty, too! I will […]
Distracted
One child who does not remember to flush the toilet, one distracted mom who is unpacking from vacation, and one VERY busy baby does not a good combination make.
Adrianna’s Choir Concert – December 2013
Adrianna had her first choir performance last night. Even though they didn’t have as much time as normal to practice due to a delay getting a place to meet every week, I think they did pretty great! I am so proud of how hard Adrianna worked and it brings me a lot of joy to […]
More Microscope Work
And today’s science experiment involved looking at a booger under the microscope. Yep, a booger. And yes, boogers are pretty gross when magnified. #LoveMyLittleScientist #BoogersArentJustForBoysApparently And it had started out innocently enough, checking out the fibers in kleenex. Guess it was just a natural progression from there.
