Halloween 2012

Well, another great Halloween is in the books! Brynn already was asking when she can go trick-or-treating again. Next Wednesday sounded good to her. Today started out with a pajama party at preschool. When I picked her up they were eating popcorn and watching a movie. I brought her to my office for a little trick-or-treating there. After supper we headed out with Papa Kevin and Grandma Holly to trick-or-treat in our neighborhood. She didn't last really long, as she got chilled a little while into it. She still had so much fun, though, running from house to house. It was hard to keep up with her this year!

We passed out candy to 47 trick-or-treaters. I think she had at least as much fun passing out candy as she did trick-or-treating herself. Her (previous) daycare lady, Nancy, even stopped by with a special Halloween gift for her. What an awesome surprise.

Happy Halloween everyone!

With one of the preschool staff in her teddy pj's for pajama day.

As you may remember, she did allow me an impromptu "Annual Halloween Preview Photo Shoot," however it was the wrong costume! That was Cinderella, and as you can see, she is actually Strawberry Shortcake. While the weather was still somewhat nicer out, I had BEGGED her to let me redo the photos in her actual costume, but to no avail. I could take them on Halloween she said. So, we did. And here they are. :-)







Rodney's house! Rodney is this lady's dog. They always take him for his daily walk right past our house.
So, Brynn waned to make sure to stop by to see him for Halloween.







Waiting for trick-or-treaters.

More treats! "Mmmm, it's so good!"

Grandma and Grandpa!

Fall Things + Dana's Hunting Trip

 Clara and I walked over to the high school for a boys' soccer game. They were pretty impressive to watch. Elise and Clara had fun raking leaves and Grandpa and Grandma's lake. Well, I know Clara had a great time for sure. I can't remember if I had posted that Dana did away with the garden and planted grass where it once was. So, Clara mowed that section. It was a perfect size for her to tackle. She might have found herself a summer job already. An amazing double rainbow! Thank you to those who donated for Clara's school walk-a-thon which took place last Monday. Dana and I were able to go watch and then joined in for some laps as well. Benny the Eagle was out there cheering the kids on too. Dana was busy making monster cookies for his annual hunting trip up north with his Dad and family friends. He kindly left some behind for us...which are long since gone now. :-) Grandma Holly came up while the guys were gone and took Clara shopping and the girls for lunch on Saturday

Thanksgiving 2023

The kids rolled out and baked sugar cookies for Thanksgiving. We finished our thankful pumpkin. I saw this in the store and given the season, it took me right back to my Grandma D's house on Thanksgiving and the bowl of walnuts she'd have on her table with the nutcracker. I wanted to buy it just for nostalgia purposes. Cora and Clara made these adorable turkey crafts at the crafternoon at the library.  On Tuesday we went downtown for the tree lighting at Broadway Square. Abby, Hubert's sister, joined us as well. She just turned 10, so she got along pretty well with Clara. They had s'mores kits so we had to toast some mallows right away. I love how Clara's marshmallow is completely ablaze and she's still posing for the photo. Hahaha. We had to visit the reindeer too. I made them do jazz hands. And then, of course, we had to hit up Blackbird afterward. Our Wednesday morning XaBeat class. We were feelin' pretty festive. The girls had Wednesday off from school,

May Day + My Birthday + Star Wars Day

Brynn put together our May Day baskets and did a fantastic job. Clara and I did the deliveries... And we received one as well with these beautiful flowers. It was from Clara's friend, Cora, and her fam. We went out to dinner as a family to celebrate my birthday on Wednesday to best accommodate schedules this week. I got to open my cards and gifts when we got home. I had picked up a slice of puppy chow cake at Sonder Bakehouse so we all shared that. Then Brynn and I went out to play a little tennis. It was a beautiful day outside. I had taken Friday (my actual birthday) off of work and Tessa came up to have brunch with me. We had Black Coffee + Waffle Bar. It was so fun. Then May did my hair as it was overdue for a cut and color. Dana and I were able to go out just us two while Brynn took Clara to her school fun night...not only that, but Brynn also volunteered to sell tickets/wristbands (I was originally going to do it) so that I didn't have to and could go out. 💜 I had a coup
