Halloween Preview 2020

 I saw this guy rotting in DQ the other day. 


The secondary grades take their school pictures early for their school IDs. Clara's pictures will be next week. Brynnie looks so old! I always think her pictures turn out well, but she was pretty pleased with how they turned out this year especially.



Clara does some school work on her iPad while in-person at school as well as submitting assignments via their classroom app while distance learning at home. I noticed this video pop up in the app earlier this past week when Clara was in school. It's kind of hard to hear some of it with a lot of background noise, but it's worth it to make it to the end. :-) So precious. 

If you couldn't make out what she said at the end, it was "I'm special because I'm made from Jesus." 💓


I spent Friday down south in Frederick, SD again...where I first went to take drone video and pictures of one of our growers two years ago. I was excited to go back to see the fam again. They were doing black bean harvest right now.



Meanwhile, Holly came up to spend the weekend with us girls while Dana went back up North again to help cut woods at their family friends' cabin and ride four wheeler.

Holly took the girls to a couple of garage sales and Brynn added to her scrunchie collection.


Pancakes for brunch on Saturday.


Since it was pretty rainy all day on Saturday, they set up with sewing most of the day.


I thought we were going to try and do Halloween pictures outside of our yard somewhere nearby with some more fall foliage trees, but the girls decided at the first break of the clouds and the sun peaked out this afternoon that they were ready to do them right then! So, I figured I'd better just get while the gettin's good.

Clara is Wonder Woman this year!






Brynn is the Grim Reaper. It turned out great!








Yay! Can't wait for Halloween!

Fourth of July 2025

We were able to spend the Fourth at Tamarac again this year, with my sister and her family.  We arrived just in time for Brynn to change into her tennis outfit for the boat parade float. Their theme was sports this year. Clara and Oliver caught candy from the dock. This was the first Fourth of July holiday spent at my sister and Chad's own cabin on the same lake that Chad's parents have their cabin. Clara brought my mom one of her favs, Tootsie Roll. We were also celebrating Mom's freedom this holiday...from working on the Fourth! For the past how many years, Mom has had to work the Fourth of July parade back home in Carrington. However, this year as she is preparing to retire and training in her replacement, she gave the parade reins to her successor. It was great to have both Mom and Dad spend the Fourth with all of us together. It was just like old times when we all gathered at Terry and Wanda's for lunch though. I made a new recipe for dessert: red, white and blue c...

Halloween 2025

Happy Halloween! We did trick-or-treating at my office again and celebrated National Cat Day a couple of days late. Unicorn making magic happen! The kids and Freddy. We got a little bit of a late start around 7:30. We went to a neighborhood near the high school where several of Clara's friends live. We stopped at Micah's house to say hi and another schoolmate happened to be over as well. We got to visiting too long and by the time we headed back out, some houses either had run out of candy (including Micah's, where they went through 600 pieces his mom said) or were already done for the night. But, we still got around to several. It had just gotten done raining and the wind was cold, so I didn't care to be out too long myself. Clara asked to have another post-Halloween party this year and Brynn planned and executed the whole thing. One of our fav parts was the missing children posters which were all the guests. Green Army Man, Clara Barton, Luna Lovegood (from Harry Pott...

Christmas 2025/New Years 2026

Christmas gift wrapping shenanigans: Keeping Brynn company while she wraps all of our Christmas gifts. Brynn and I couldn't help but peek at the 150 Famous Poems book we gave to Clara. So many good ones. Getting into the holiday spirit at Courts Plus. Ha! Christmas eve brunch. Clara's gingerbread house contest strategy notes. Contestants were allowed 20 minutes to shop for their houses at Wal-mart. We left ourselves little time to get ready for the 3:00 Christmas eve service at our church. But, we made it and thankfully didn't have to sit in the overflow area in the chapel! It was a beautiful service. We had bit more time in between church and when we planned to leave for Tessa's, so I mixed up my eggnog and we got the car packed. Tessa's family hosted Christmas eve at their lake home. We had a great mix of people to play a game of Mind the Gap. Getting cookies ready for Santa. Clara got Dana and me up around 7:30 and we watched her open her stocking. I think Dana a...
