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.

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...

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...
