This weekend our friends from St. Cloud came for a visit with their two kids. It was fun to see them again and spend time together.

Dana took them on a tour of the Case plant.
Brynn had gotten a gift card to Clay Your Way for her birthday and so she had been itching to go and try it out. It is a pottery place where you choose already-made pieces to paint. They glaze your painted project and fire it and then you pick it up within a week. Brynn thought it would be fun for Zander and Maizie to go, too. It was super busy when we first got there and there were no tables for us, so we decided to walk over to Scheels which was right across the street and fart around there for a bit until some people left at Clay Your Way. Brynn loves to 'visit' the presidents statues outside the Scheels building.
Finally...we were able to get a table at Clay Your Way.
Brynn chose this to paint for Clara.
Malts this afternoon
Dana making smoothies with our new blender. This thing is super awesome. He made some baby food in it for Clara the other night.
Big sister reading to little sister. Love it. It was so warm out today that our house got really hot despite us running the fan on the furnace and having our patio door open. So, that's why Clara is missing her pants. :-)
The kids had fun playing outside yesterday after Clay Your Way and today Brynn was outside for a while again. It's so nice to be outside and enjoy the great weather right now.
Love to hear Brynnie play the piano - great job!!!! Sweet photos. What a wonderful gift idea for Brynn: Clay Your Way. Looks like a wonderful place and you all had a fun weekend.
A couple of weekends ago Clara had a very busy, but fun Saturday with her friend Cora and her sister, Violet. The sisters' dad took them to the Breakfast on the Farm near Hawley (We had gone many years ago. Clara was so little, she didn't remember it.) They also stopped at the dirt track races on their way back into town and then Dana met up with them at MSUM so they could go to the oceanarium there. We had never been before, but it was on our "Moorhead List" of fun things to do in the 56560 zip code. So, check! Out on side-by-side rides any chance we get. We parked on Sunset Road, as we've dubbed it, to watch the sun go down. There is usually one or two other cars parked on this low maintenance road whenever we venture down there. Clara into her granny hobbies. :-) We attended the last of this year's graduation parties over the weekend. I went to one in town on Friday night and then Clara and I stopped at Karlie's party near Fergus Falls on our way to Z...
The girls had Thursday, Friday and Monday off from school for the Easter break. So, Dana and I took most of the same time off (work) to match. Always reading. 💜 Hanging out with Brynn. 💗 Dana and I went on a Costco date. We tried our hand at homemade ravioli again. I think it went a bit more smoothly compared to last time. Hubert's sister Abby stopped by for a visit. We hadn't seen her in a long time and so it was fun to have her We celebrated Dana's birthday and kicked it off with some Sandy's donuts. I don't recall what was so funny. haha. Clara's card. Birthday King Clara dyed eggs. I baked a birthday cake for Dana, messed it up getting it out of the pans, and Clara somehow cobbled it together into a masterpiece. Dana chose Lucky 13's for dinner out. On Saturday we packed up to hit up Oliver's birthday party before we went on to Dead Lake for Easter. Oliver is 9!

We ARE still alive over here and have not frozen to death. Here's what we've been up to for the past month and a half! Brynn and Hubert at the OG (Olive Garden): 'Lady and the Tramp' style. haha. Taking in a Force game...with extra fighting. It was very exciting. One Sunday when Clara was at a sleepover, the three of us went to Black Coffee Waffle Bar after church and then for some crepes and boba at Tea & Crepe. Then Brynn and I went prom dress shopping which was really fun. She did find a dress she loves so that was a relief. This is not the one she chose, but she tried on quite a few nice ones. Clara made crowns for the king and I (me). Clara had to write an essay to be considered for the robotics team at school. She waited for at least a couple of weeks to learn if she was accepted, and unfortunately was not. She was pretty disappointed, but she does have a chance to reapply next year when she's a fifth grader, and won't have to write another essay. I th...
