How To Make a "Little Critter" Sandwich

I grew up on Mercer Mayer's "Little Critter" books, and Brynn really seems to have taken a liking to them as well. One of the titles we have is "Bye-Bye, Mom and Dad" where the parents go away on a trip and leave Little Critter and Little Sister to stay with Grandpa and Grandma. In the middle of the story, Little Critter takes it upon himself to make lunch for everyone. Brynn thought it was pretty funny, and asked me if she could make a sandwich like Little Critter made in the book. As you will see below, it isn't necessarily your run-of-the-mill PB&J. So, I told her if she ate a "normal" lunch she could make one of these sandwiches afterward. 

So, here are the step-by-step instructions on how to make Little Critter's signature sandwich. And a video tutorial, too.

Oops! There she goes.

Here is the video if you have an extra six minutes. :-) Sorry; it's a little long even after I cut some out. Oh, and just ignore my constant camera clicking. Mamarazzi at it again.




And we did go out for another bike ride last night, and this time I brought the little camera. It was baby's first time in the bike carrier.


Ralstie, Brynn's trusty steed who is boarded at Cash Wise Foods. Not sure where she got his name from and I'm also not confident on the spelling, but that's what it sounds like when she says it.

More Graduations + Start of Summer

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...

Easter + April Birthdays

 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!

January + Valentine's Day + CATS!

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...
