Kindergarten Round-up

Tonight was Kindergarten Round-up at Centennial Elementary School where Brynn will be attending Kindergarten this fall. They started off with an informational presentation for the parents. Brynn met the principal who was very nice. She was hoping that her friend from  preschool and our neighbor would be there tonight, as she knew Rosha would be attending Centennial this fall, too. She did attend tonight as well and they both checked out the classrooms together. They were so excited. There are five Kindergarten classes, so we are unsure if they will end up in the same class come fall. I know they are hoping so. That would be so fun for them. Since there are five classes, they did have all five classrooms open to explore. The girls got so caught up in checking out each room, they only made it to three or four of the five.

The school and classrooms reminded me of the school I went to as a kid, which was nice and comforting. There were a lot of things in the classrooms that the girls recognized from preschool like the calendar, kitchen play area, and a sensory table.

When we arrived there was a sign welcoming the class of 2026. Woah! Brynn hasn't even begun Kindergarten yet, so it was kind of mind-blowing to think of it in those terms!

School starts August 22. Brynn is ready to go tomorrow, she says!





Shark attack!

Checking out the computers.



Already running amuck in the hallways!

Oh my gosh ::tear:: She's so grown up. She looks like Reagan in that last photo. How fun that Rosha was there, too! It looks like they had a lot of fun stuff to play with in the rooms.

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...
