Memorial Weekend

We had a nice Memorial Weekend which was mostly spent around home. On Sunday we did head down to Fergus/Ashby, MN for a graduation party and spent the night at Dana's parents that night.

Monday Rosha was able to come over to play in the afternoon. Brynn was so excited. I should have taken a picture of it because they emptied out about 95% of the contents in Brynn's room and set up shop in the family room.They were having a good time.

My cousin from St. Cloud was passing through on his way back home. So, he stopped and ate supper with us...which I was glad he did, as he'll be moving to Arizona within a week or so and then I won't see him very often.

Girly girl Brynn.

Brynn and Rosha dancing.

My cousin Jon and me. Luckily he crouched down so that both of us could fit in the picture.

When we were at Grandpa and Grandma Froemmings', Brynn helped Grandma Holly plant in her garden and then they planted this geranium together. Brynn got to bring it home and has her set schedule of when Grandma told her to water it. She has a great memory, so I know she won't forget.

I think she looks like Auntie Christel in this picture.

"Daddy's Tree," as we call it, is in full bloom!

Rosha will be at home during the summer months and not at preschool with Brynn starting next week. So, Brynn made her a book for her last day (which actually isn't until Friday). It was a monster cat chasing a dog-man and it says "I'm a monster cat. I'm a chase you."

Daddy was mowing lawn tonight and Brynn has taken it upon herself to sweep the clippings after Daddy mows now. She's such a little worker.

Work time over! Rosha came to play.

Off to the park.

Another preschool family frequents the park in the evenings as well.
The mom of the little girl made dandelion crowns for the girls. It was so sweet!

Brynn reading to Rosha the book that she had made for her.

My lilacs are in full bloom now, too. Love them!

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...

Easter + April Birthdays

The girls had Thursday, Friday and Monday off from school for the Easter break. So, Dana and I took most of the same time off (work) to match. Always reading. 💜 Hanging out with Brynn. 💗 Dana and I went on a Costco date. We tried our hand at homemade ravioli again. I think it went a bit more smoothly compared to last time. Hubert's sister Abby stopped by for a visit. We hadn't seen her in a long time and so it was fun to have her We celebrated Dana's birthday and kicked it off with some Sandy's donuts. I don't recall what was so funny. haha. Clara's card. Birthday King Clara dyed eggs. I baked a birthday cake for Dana, messed it up getting it out of the pans, and Clara somehow cobbled it together into a masterpiece. Dana chose Lucky 13's for dinner out. On Saturday we packed up to hit up Oliver's birthday party before we went on to Dead Lake for Easter. Oliver is 9!

January + Valentine's Day + CATS!

We ARE still alive over here and have not frozen to death. Here's what we've been up to for the past month and a half! Brynn and Hubert at the OG (Olive Garden): 'Lady and the Tramp' style. haha. Taking in a Force game...with extra fighting. It was very exciting. One Sunday when Clara was at a sleepover, the three of us went to Black Coffee Waffle Bar after church and then for some crepes and boba at Tea & Crepe. Then Brynn and I went prom dress shopping which was really fun. She did find a dress she loves so that was a relief. This is not the one she chose, but she tried on quite a few nice ones. Clara made crowns for the king and I (me). Clara had to write an essay to be considered for the robotics team at school. She waited for at least a couple of weeks to learn if she was accepted, and unfortunately was not. She was pretty disappointed, but she does have a chance to reapply next year when she's a fifth grader, and won't have to write another essay. I th...
