In honor of Dr. Seuss Week Adrienne drew a HIGHLY impressive Cat in the Hat. Actually I walked in the classroom & spotted it right away in admiration of the fine rendering (10 eyeballs notwithstanding) without ANY idea it was her own! 
And front & center in the main foyer at school... it was Adrienne's pot of gold at the end of the Fruitloop rainbow!
Sitting at dinner one night Adrienne got her hands on my camera. The world from a 4 year old's perspective....
In Greg's room, or rather, the room Greg grew up in which is now Nick's, he came across 'A Plague of Secrets' by John Lescroart. It promptly became his literary obsession for more than 2 solid weeks. It went into the bathroom when he brushed his teeth, he slept with it, he ate with it, he read it in the car... EV-RY-WHERE. He made me read 'number 1' (aka the 1st 2 pages) ad nauseum & would then flip intently through the pages until he would spot the next place to start reading. flip-flip-flip-flip "Read here mommy!" I'd read a few paragraphs... "No mommy, read.... (flip-flip-flip-flip) HERE!"
A special treat on their last day at Children of America.... ice cream!
And who walks in but Adrienne's classmate, Andrew! She was just a LITTLE excited. (Backstory: A few weeks back when Glenn & Elena were at the house for Sprinkle-gate Adrienne was curled up with Glenn & told him that she kissed a boy in her class... Andrew.)
And with that............... the chaos that the Ides of March bestowed upon us are finally... FINALLY over!!

I guess Goodnight Moon DOES pale in comparison to a double-murder / weed dealing / blackmailing thriller...
Adrienne came by to check out the progress at the house. Let me tell you... this little one is a slave driver! She wasn't cutting Gonzo/Rizzo (aka Lorenzo) ANY slack!
Greg walked in from the foodstore, "I got watermelon!" "OK great!" I overheard some rumblings in the kitchen and gathered that Nick was having some for a snack. As it turns out it was an unsupervised snack with a HUNK of watermelon sitting in Yiayia's unprotected chair while wearing a white shirt.
Adrienne is a whiz at the computer (as EVERY parent says of their child these geek-laden days) but SERIOUSLY... she is! She can whip around the blog - play videos (make them full screen & back again!), drill down through posts....

So when we're watching Sleeping Beauty do I look cooler WEARING Adrienne's pale purple shades.......
..... or propping them on my head?!

OK, to be fair I'm not sure if she's entranced by Andrew or the ice cream cone he's holding, but either way she's mesmerized.
