What a day!

What a great day we had yesterday. Brynn and I made pancakes for breakfast while we waited for Daddy to wake up so we could all go to the Bouncin' Bash. We went last year and Brynn has been excited to go back ever since. It's held in the Veterans Memorial Arena in West Fargo and they have a bunch of inflatables and some games for kids. Brynn seemed to be taking her time warming up to the inflatables, but the Froemming in her came out when we went to the Wild West Shootout game.The set-up was using dart guns that you aim at Velcro circle targets on a backdrop. We must have spent 20 minutes at this thing alone. She was a pro by the time we left there. 



Reloading



After a quick trip to Wal-mart, we headed home to enjoy the great weather for the rest of the day. Brynn was outside from 1:00 pm - 8:00 pm, only coming into the house for bathroom breaks and supper. She washed her trike and bike, collected more pine cones for her pine cone collection, started a berry collection, made a 'zizzer' (as she called it) out of a stick, went on two bike rides and one four-wheeler ride, vacuumed the trunk of my car, fed Monkey some leaves, watched some boys play street hockey (and tried to join in), bungeed her bike and trike together, played with bubbles, pretended she was a dog, and apparently found the biggest rock EVER! She was a busy girl. So busy, she had no time for a nap, and didn't even fight me once going to bed. And even admitted to being tired. 


Mama's tired, too. On that four-wheeler ride I mentioned, we had to stop at each sidewalk stamp  because she asked me to read the construction company names to her. You would think there would only be one stamp per block, but I guess that's not the case!  We went at least four blocks. We got a chance to all get on our bikes and go for a ride. It was so cute riding behind her, watching her little legs pedal non-stop going around our neighborhood with Monkey strapped into the carrier seat in back. I wish I could have gotten a picture of that, too.  I think she's going to ride that thing until the wheels fall off.  








She is a really good helper. :-)
Still running at the end of the day.

Isn't this weather amazing?! I love that we can be outside all day in March! Looks like Brynn had a very busy/ fun day! I bet she slept really well last night!

Of course she's good at the guns :) That pic of her in the trunk is funny. Way to roll your sleeves up and get in there.

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...
