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.

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...

Christmas 2025/New Years 2026

Christmas gift wrapping shenanigans: Keeping Brynn company while she wraps all of our Christmas gifts. Brynn and I couldn't help but peek at the 150 Famous Poems book we gave to Clara. So many good ones. Getting into the holiday spirit at Courts Plus. Ha! Christmas eve brunch. Clara's gingerbread house contest strategy notes. Contestants were allowed 20 minutes to shop for their houses at Wal-mart. We left ourselves little time to get ready for the 3:00 Christmas eve service at our church. But, we made it and thankfully didn't have to sit in the overflow area in the chapel! It was a beautiful service. We had bit more time in between church and when we planned to leave for Tessa's, so I mixed up my eggnog and we got the car packed. Tessa's family hosted Christmas eve at their lake home. We had a great mix of people to play a game of Mind the Gap. Getting cookies ready for Santa. Clara got Dana and me up around 7:30 and we watched her open her stocking. I think Dana a...
