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!

Happy 10th Birthday, Clara!

Clara made a countdown chain to her 10th birthday. We baked a red velvet cake for her family party and chocolate cupcakes for her friend party. She looks so tall in some of these pics! Izabell's boyfriend, Neil, and Clara share the same birthday, so they all went out for lunch on their actual birthday on the 2nd. And then Neil had to get a tour of the Clara Express. Dana was in charge of getting balloons for the party and I sent him to Dollar Tree which apparently doesn't fill latex balloons, only Mylar. Dana "just knew" he had gotten the 'wrong' ones, and called me in a fit of rage over it and then followed up with this photo. haha. It all worked out just fine for Clara's ninja themed parties and I was able to pick up a few more black latex balloons from Cash Wise on my way home from work. Clara had already started partying at Prairie Joy's birthday party the night before, so I think she was short on sleep. I couldn't find her when I got home on F...

Mom + Brynn Take Chicago 2024

Brynn and I were very excited to embark on our mother-daughter trip to Chicago this week. We had gifted Brynn part of the trip as her sweet 16 birthday gift. We flew direct out of Fargo on Wednesday. We stayed at the Grand Plaza apartments on State Street in a VRBO rental. We loved it there! The building had an outdoor rooftop pool, library, gaming/movie room and gym on the 9th floor. This was us looking down from our 50th floor balcony. I refused to go to the edge of the balcony. Blech. (Photo credit: Brynn on this one!) Here are a few pics of inside the apartment that I hawked off of the VRBO listing. We got our things settled and ran next door to a Jewel Osco grocery for a few things and then got ready for dinner at River Roast along the Chicago River. It was very good and beautiful weather. I think Brynn said this was her favorite place that we ate at. Our waiter Jorge brought Brynn a carrot cake when we said we were celebrating Brynn's birthday on the trip. We came back to the...

May Happenings + More Birthday Celebration + Northern Lights + Mother's Day

 S'mores on the deck... We got Brynn's team tennis pics back. They turned out great! I had to get a couple of pins and magnets. I should have taken a pic of Hubert and me spectating at one of her games last week as Hubert was sporting his pin. :-) We three girls played last week during a nice evening. Clara's class is doing an alphabet countdown to the last day of school. J was joke day. And Clara loves to share jokes with her teacher. She made her own joke book to bring. Cindy took Dad and me out to lunch for our birthdays last Thursday. It was such a fun time and Dad and I each got a cookie skillet for being the birthday kids! So delish. We went to Granite City. Always good! Dana and I went to Sartell, MN on Thursday night and arrived late. We stopped over at the after party of the groom's dinner for our friends getting married on Friday. I snagged their kitty for a snuggle. Roger and I were the photographers for the wedding which was beautiful. We had such a good tim...
