Bree, Cate, and I often sit on the couch for some of our subjects, particularly when we read a book together, when they do their Reading practice, or when we read our Science and History books and watch corresponding videos. It’s a nice, cozy way to learn. Moose likes that part of our day, too, […]

Dress-up and Time For Bed
She makes me smile every day. So often when I check on the girls after they’ve gone to bed, I find them in the same bed. They are the best of friends (most of the time) and it is so sweet to watch. Speaking of sleep, this cuddly pup makes a great nap buddy or […]
Reading Avatar: The Last Airbender
Reading a book together on this chilly day. (Avatar: The Last Airbender – The Search graphic novel) Thankful for our local library and the ability to check out eBooks. Cate is reading to Bree this morning. Her reading abilities are just exploding this year. (Though she still has a lot of problems confusing b and […]
Makeup
Adrianna has recently started wearing makeup, which means that Cate has wanted to do the same. I do let them use mine, for the time being. Cate came downstairs to show me a recent experiment: mascara on her eyebrows. She then washed it off and redid her eye-makeup (with Adrianna’s help.)
21 Years
For our 21st anniversary, we had a nice dinner in. Adrianna offered to make dinner for herself and the little girls and that she would watch them in the basement so that Greg and I could have some time to ourselves, but we decided that we would prefer a nice family dinner all together. So […]
Drawing Birds
Bree and Cate have been taking a weekly class on Outschool that gives instructions on how to draw a different kind of bird each week. It’s been a lot of fun watching them draw and their finished art is so amazing.
Dachshund Koozie
I got to open one of my gifts early tonight. Cate made me a dachshund paper Koozie for my Diet Cokes.
Oreo Cake
Adrianna made Bree an Oreo cake for her upcoming birthday. She even made everything (except the oreos themselves) from scratch. We may have to celebrate a day or two early, as we all can’t wait to try it! Doesn’t it look delicious?
Christmas Tree
Put up the Christmas tree this weekend. Greg talked me into getting a real tree this year. I was hesitant. Not only because of the extra work, but also I feel bad that a tree has to be cut down and essentially die for the tradition. But it ended up being an enjoyable time picking […]
Pretty Leaves
The girls enjoyed finding beautiful leaves on our last neighborhood walk.
