Bree made a “pixely” hummingbird, basically a hummingbird with blocked shapes (like something you might find in Minecraft.)
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 […]
Unicorns
Bree and Cate rode “unicorns” today at horseback riding. Both Fabio and Cocoa looked so sweet with their unicorn horns.
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 […]
Ringing of the bells
At a recent evaluation, the instructor was asking Bree a question. When it appeared Bree needed a little more information, the instruction gave her a hint and then asked, “Does that ring a bell?” Bree, puzzled, responded, “I didn’t hear anything?” I sure love my literal girl.
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 […]
Marine Biology
Today was the final day of Marine Biology class for Bree and Cate. It was a homeschool class through CU Boulder specifically for homeschoolers, and given the girls’ love for the ocean and its inhabitants, I was happy it fit into our schedule for October. They attended each Wednesday afternoon for 3 hours and they […]
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 […]
Creative Writing
Bree took a Creative Writing class at a nearby public library this Sunday (today) and last Sunday. In the first class, she worked on making a story chart to show the place, the characters, and some details about the characters. This one took place in “The Magical World” and included her made up ponies of […]
