Busy Saturday

We had a very busy day this past Saturday: Brynn got her first big haircut; we said good-bye to our cat, Fatty; we attended Kite Day at a nearby park; went to a friend's birthday party in Hawley, and drove to Grandpa and Grandma Froemming's to celebrate Mother's Day. It was a great weekend, but a little sad when Fatty left.

Mother Hen Brynn was trying hard to comfort me when she noticed I was a little sad and missing Fatty. That conversation went something like this:
Brynn (noticing some tears coming from Mom): "Mom, are you sad?"
Me: "Yes, a little bit. But, it's okay."
Brynn: "Why?"
Me: "Well, I just miss Fatty."
Brynn (patting my am): "Oh...do you want some ice cream?"

Ha ha. You could tell she wanted to be able to do something for me, but she couldn't quite figure out what. Sounded like a good solution to me.

She did well for her haircut. They let her watch Dora and she got a sucker, so at that point, she really didn't care what they did to her. I asked her on our way to the appointment if she was excited and she said "no, I'm not excited, but I'm going." Ha. But, she seems to like how it turned out. I miss the look of her long hair, but it has been a lot easier to deal with now that it's short.

Part of my Mother's Day gift from Brynn. They potted flowers at daycare and
also made keychains for the moms.

Let's hope this love of doing chores sticks!

January Recap

Right before Christmas break was done, Brynn and  I went downtown to Nichole's for some graduation planning. Making lefse! Clara finished up her time in robotics league with a presentation of the robots and mission that she and her partner/friend, Elizabeth, had been working on. Here's a video compilation of two of the missions they presented. It was so cool. I especially liked the one that picked up the rocks. Some of Brynn's recent drawings. Bedtime snuggles. 💜 I was messaging with Clara's teacher to see if he could let her know that Brynn would pick her up from school one of the very cold days last week. He wrote me back to confirm Clara received the message. I asked Clara when she got home if she wrote that last sentence. Haha. Clara had her first swim meet on Saturday, which was a 'home meet,' hosted by Clara's team, the Red Dragons at Moorhead High School. She was disgruntled about getting up at 7:00 am on a Saturday morning, but each team had specifi...

Clara's Recital + Scouting Event + XaFriendsgiving

I was in full fall mode watching 'When Harry Met Sally" in my turkey leg slippers the other night. Dana and I went out to eat at Granite City on Friday night and I think I found my signature cocktail for Christmas. It's called Snow on the Beach and it was so pretty and tasted really good! Saturday morning Clara had her piano recital and did a great job! Thank you to sister Brynn and the grandparents for coming. After lunch with everyone (family, not the other piano students), she was off to the next thing which was  a Scouting event at NDSU. She had to miss the morning session because of the recital, but in the afternoon they made a tool box. It turned out great. That night we had the XaBeat (the exercise dance class I go to) crew with spouses over for a little XaFriendsgiving. It was super fun. Dana mixing up old fashioneds. There was no shortage of food - it was an amazing spread. Dana smoked a couple turkey breasts that turned out really well and the stuffing sausage bi...

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...
