This morning’s conversation with the girls, while listening to NPR in the car. Cate: Mom, has there ever been a girl president?Me: Not yet!Bree and Cate: What?! That’s crazy! Indeed! Another recent conversation: Bree: How much longer until Trump isn’t president anymore?Me: Another year.Cate (with a disgusted tone of voice): Another year! But he’s been […]

Piano Recital
The girls had their annual piano recital today. Adrianna played two pretty songs, the first of which she even played blindfolded! Which is pretty cool, considering how much her fingers are required to jump around the keys! Next up was Cate, who played “The Grand Finale.” I am so impressed that she is playing with […]
Halloween
Today was Halloween. Cate was a “Queen Chicken”, Bree was a Magpie, and Adrianna went with a steampunk theme. Cate and Bree both wanted to be birds this year, but I’m not sure where Cate came up with the idea that she wanted to be not just a chicken, but a queen chicken, but we […]
Eye Appointments
The girls had eye appointments on Monday. Just baseline checkups, really. They got their eyes dilated and though Bree and Cate were reported to be ever-so-slightly far-sighted and Adrianna has a slight astigmatism in one eye, no one needs glasses right now. Yay! Weirdly enough, even though we were told their eye dilation would wear […]
Corn Maze
Adrianna wanted to visit a corn maze with some friends, so we all went this evening. We invited Alexis, Kaela, Henry, Shannon and Lauryn to join us. Becky and Hsing-ay joined us, too. So while the big kids all ventured into the maze on their own, us adults and the little girls made our way […]
Fillings and a Park Playdate
Adrianna had to get three fillings at the dentist yesterday. She did great, even with the shots to her gums for the numbing portion. (The worst part!) They did give her nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and at one point, she looked over at me and said, “Hi, Mom” in the sweetest voice. We still have […]
Blue
Adrianna has been asking me if she could dye her hair. Since I colored my hair for the first time at 14, I said okay. She also wanted to do it with me, so I got some red partial-highlights in my hair. Her highlights are “peek-a-boo” highlights and they bleached and then dyed the hair, […]
Neighborhood S’mores
Our neighborhood had a get-together, making s’mores in a nearby cul-de-sac. I am glad we went, as it is nice to get to know our neighbors a bit better. I was happy to exchange numbers with another family that has three daughters, too, two of which are the very same ages as Bree and Cate. […]
Dentist
The girls had their 6 month checkup at the dentist today. No cavities for Cate and Bree, though Adrianna has a few that she needs to get fillings for, unfortunately. The dentist said several times that they weren’t her fault – her molars developed in such a way that they have deep pockets that even […]
Birds at the Zoo
Bree and Cate are very interested in birds right now, so when I found out that Bird World was closing at the Denver Zoo on October 1, I knew we needed to make a visit there a priority before that happened. Some of the birds had already been relocated (the girls were sad that hummingbirds […]
