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!

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...
