Halloween 2013

Happy Halloween! 

Unfortunately Brynn was not allowed to dress up with her costume at school, but we packed it in her backpack so she could have it to wear at Hope after school. I picked her up early from there so we could stop by my office for trick-or-treating. 





Finally got some costume pics right away when we got home.



Ringing the doorbell to surprised Daddy that we were home.





On our way to my co-worker Kevin's house and Nancy's house.

We drove over to my co-worker, Kevin's house. He and his fiancee just moved close to our neighborhood.
Coincidentally, his fiance, Wendy, was a classmate of my sister's. 


Nancy! Brynn said she was missing Nancy this past week and asked if we could go trick-or-treating at  her house.
She was glad to see Brynn and caught us up on all the daycare happenings.


It was a great night for trick-or-treating, and we were able to put Brynn's costume over her light jacket so at least you could see her costume.



We set out our bowl of candy for when we were gone trick-or-treating. Here are some kids I noticed at our house while we were across the street. Our bowl was pretty low by the time we returned.

Crazy Ron from a few doors down.

Looking for Rodney.

There he is!


This house had awesome decorations, but Brynn wasn't too sure of them.







We saw a lot of other kids out and about while we were and judging by how much candy was gone while were were out, I think we missed a lot of trick-or-treaters. I kept count of the ones who stopped while we were home and estimated the rest for a total of about 44, I think. A couple of kids who Brynn recognized from school stopped, so that was fun. I just love seeing all the kids running around the neighborhood with their costumes. Another great Halloween!

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...
