We had a fun Halloween this year. Adrianna was Princess Peach and Bree was Winnie the Pooh. On the Friday before Halloween, we went to our church’s annual Trunk-or-Treat. Karen and Zach drove down and came with us. Their dog, Whitney, was dressed up as Luigi (also from the Mario games). Adrianna had so much […]

Cops and Robbers
Adrianna was telling me today about how she and her friends play “Cops and Robbers” during recess at her homeschool co-op. When I asked her which one she usually is, a cop or a robber, she replied, “I am the princess.”
First Snow of the Season
Colorado had its first snow of this winter season. We got about 6-8 inches of a very heavy, wet snow that broke many branches throughout our neighborhood, including one on a tree in our front yard. It is too high for us to reach so I’m not sure how we’ll remove it yet. Adrianna could […]

When I find something that I or Adrianna might like to do, I “pin” the idea to my Pinterest account. (Pinterest is a visual bookmarking system.) One such craft that I recently pinned was an autumn tear-art picture. […]
Breaking Fun
I asked Adrianna to clean up a mess she’d made and was told, “Mom, you broke my fun.”
