Adrianna’s homeschool co-op had an end-of-year program, a Kindergarten graduation and an open house. For the Kindergarten’s part of the program, they all sang and danced to the “Buggie Boogie” (sung to the tune of Hokey Pokey) with cute bug masks they’d made. Adrianna proudly wore her new blue dress and pretty sandals she’d received […]

Real Mario
Adrianna just told me that she has been “wishing to God that He make Mario real.”
Adrianna’s Super Mario Brothers Party
Adrianna is crazy about the Super Mario Brothers games. She draws pictures of the characters, daydreams about the characters and talks about the characters all the time. So we decided to surprise her with a Super Mario Brothers themed birthday party for her 6th birthday. She knew she was going to have a party, she […]
Piñata
Throughout this past school year, Adrianna’s class at her homeschool co-op would study different countries. Earlier this month, they were studying Mexico, so as a fun ending to that unit they got to break a piñata. Parents were invited to come and watch. I enjoyed watching Adrianna interact with her friends. She is such a […]
I needed a quick little break this afternoon, so I locked myself in the bathroom under the guise of using the facilities. Undeterred, Adrianna simply sat right outside the door and continued to chatter away at me with a gazillion questions. Surprisingly, it wasn’t about Mario. She was writing in her “journal” about her birthday […]
Beach Boys
We were listening to music on my iPhone today and “I Get Around” by the Beach Boys came on. Adrianna lit up and has declared it is one of her new favorite songs. So then I proceeded to play some more Beach Boys for her and she loved those as well. She truly is a […]
Playing at the Park
I love Colorado’s mild weather, and this spring has been especially mild. We didn’t get any huge snowstorms like we usually do in March. Of course, this means a dry summer (and lots of wildfires) but at least the mountains received a good supply of snow so our water supply is okay. The mild weather […]
Teddy / Teddia
Adrianna still loves her Teddy Bear. Although she doesn’t drag him all over the place as often as she used to, she still likes to sleep with him at night and he still gets a lot of playtime. Tea Party with Mario, Care Bear, Teddy and Yoshi Lately, Teddy has also been making appearances as […]
Words Per Day
“They” theorize that men say about 7,000 words per day while women say as many as 20,000 per day. Based on those generic numbers, I would like to observe that the average 5 year old girl must say AT LEAST 45,000 words per day. We get LOTS of questions. And lots of chatter about Super […]
Live TV
Adrianna is so used to watching shows on Tivo and being able to fast forward through commercials that she gets annoyed when we watch “live” tv and have to endure the commercials. She just asked me, “Mommy, why did they make live tv?”
