Adrianna’s Quote of the Day: “I would like to get a boy-toy.” (Thankfully, it was spoken in innocence and in reference to the Happy Meal toy choices from McDonalds.) Also, I just love that Adrianna falls asleep reading herself a book every night. Her current favorite: Garfield comic books.

Pedicures and Spiders
Bree was at Nette’s house for the afternoon since I had a dentist appointment scheduled, so Adrianna and I decided to take advantage of the extra free time with a pedicure. (Her idea!) Later…In less fun news… 1 a.m. Spider on the wall above my bed. By lamplight, the spider’s shadow makes it look huge. […]
Adrianna’s 7th Birthday
This year for Adrianna’s birthday, we had a lot of family over to celebrate. Grammy and Grampy, Aunt Kristi, Nana, Uncle Brian, Nga, Ebony, Aunt Karen and Uncle Zach, Aunt Cindy, Uncle Kendall, Layla and Aidan. It was a full house! In view of Adrianna’s recent enjoyment when working in the garage with Greg, he […]
Working in the Garage
Greg has started building some shelves for the girls’ room. Adrianna enjoys working in the garage with him. She can often be found happily hammering nails into scrap wood that Greg gives her.
Little Entrepreneur
Ever since the weather started warming up, Adrianna has been begging to sell things. Pinecones, little clovers she’s picked, toys, lemonade. Anything she can find. So far, our neighbor boy has kindly bought several pinecones from her. 🙂
Easter 2012
Adrianna requested that I make another scavenger hunt for her on Easter, so I did. Greg hid a bunch of easy eggs for Bree (along with a few harder ones for Adrianna) while most of Adrianna’s eggs were hidden throughout the house, found by following her scavenger hunt clues. Bree didn’t really get the excitement […]
Sisters
Adrianna and Bree are the sweetest of sisters. For the most part, they get along wonderfully. Bree loves to play with “Na-Na”. Adrianna’s confidence in her reading skills has grown by leaps and bounds this year. She loves to read to Bree. And I love to watch their sisterly bond grow every day. These girls […]
Spring Snow and a New Sled
Adrianna had been begging me to buy her a sled ever since 2012 rolled around. It was almost March, normally Colorado’s snowiest month, and none of the nearby stores were stocking sleds anymore. I hate that stores start bringing in the next season’s items so dang early! So I decided to buy one online, on […]
Scavenger Hunts
One of Adrianna’s favorite memories from her preschool days was when a “leprechaun” came to visit their classroom during the night and made some mischief in the room. She talked about it at length after it happened and still mentions it from time to time. So for St. Patrick’s Day this year, I thought it […]
Alter Egos
Just got back from the grocery store, accompanied by Beggy Beggarton and Screamy McScreamsalot on this cold and blustery day. Can I be done for the day now? At least one of them will be taking a nap soon. For now, I have them watching a Tinkerbell movie while I recuperate.
