One of Cate’s assignments for her remote learning was to write her teacher a letter. I thought it might be fun for both Bree and Cate to make her a card, since they both have this teacher for different classes. And this teacher, Ms. Longtain, is one of my favorites because of how she looks […]
April 19-30
Greg decided (like many people in our country) that the extra time at home would be a good time to make some homemade bread. I originally played an Animal Crossing game several Nintendo versions ago and enjoyed it, so it is fun to see the girls getting into the new rendition of the game, Animal […]
Watercolor Cats
An art teacher at the girls’ Homeschool Options school, Ms. Hickman, has been creating weekly watercolor tutorials for her students. All three girls did the latest tutorial together, even though only Adrianna and Bree have her for actual classes this year. I think their cats turned out great, each according to their own styles and […]
Trading Places
Just in case anyone was curious as to how our Friday is going…
Adrianna’s 15th Birthday
My oldest daughter is now 15. That makes me feel incredibly old. Adrianna is a clever girl who loves to draw Manga characters and chat with her friends online. She is sweet to her sisters (most of the time) and a sweet teenager (most of the time.) She is very excited about the new Animal […]
Current Mood in the Reimer Household
This tweet from Steve Martin is so perfect for the traffic jams we often have in the kitchen. Especially now with Greg home during the day and making coffee while we are trying to scavenge up some breakfast. 🙂 I love having him home during the day though!
April 5-18
Reimer Family Facetime Bike riding with Fluttershy Art Class Online Bree made a game called “Pony Crush” based on the phone app, Candy Crush. But instead of matching candy types or colors, you match pony types or colors. Greg has decided to try his hand at making homemade bread. No bread machine, but in the […]
Freddie
We received a mystery package on our doorstep and though we suspected Grandpa and Grandma Debbie, Grandpa was playing coy. The girls love their new Easter bunny and Bree has named him Freddie. A couple of days later, an identical one appeared at Layla and Aidan’s, so I think our suspicions on the mystery sender […]

Cate [angry]: Mom, Bree and Adrianna are leaving me out!Me: Then go out there and ask if you can join them.Cate [annoyed]: But I don’t want to join them!Me: …
April 2-4
Frozen grass in the front yard – a beautiful picture taken by Adrianna. Another game of Settlers of Catan (with the Cities and Knights expansion.) Cate was on my team, and we won. 🙂 We finished one of the girls’ bird puzzles. Cate is working on her reading. Another virtual violin lesson. Adrianna’s glaring at […]
