Deer Hunting Weekend

Brynn has been pretty excited that we've been getting some snow; though she does look pretty serious here, waiting for the bus.



Last weekend we went to Hurdsfield so Dana could go deer hunting. Unfortunately Chad was still finishing harvesting, so Dana hunted with Chad's uncle and cousins. He did get a doe on Sunday morning. Tessa and I had a great time staying up too late chatting and the girls all had fun playing together...and Benjamin, too. :-)

We made a stop on the way through at the Pizza Ranch to eat with Grandpa and Grandma.

  
Playing dress up and coloring at Auntie and Uncle's house.

Always happy and smiling. She mauled her head, poor thing.


 On Saturday night there was a Family Fun Night in Hurdsfield to raise money for the community. They served dinner and had games and prizes for the kids. It was really fun.

Brynn has been looking at this Play-doh dentist set on YouTube lately and lo and behold they had it to play with at the Play-doh table! I didn't think she was going to leave that thing to play any games so she could get some prizes.

Elise getting in on some Play-doh action, too.


She did end up winning a couple prize sets which were really awesome. One of them was a Play-doh extruder that she picked out.

Our little busy bee. She was trying so hard to roll over here, and finally she just got really still. She must have worn herself  out trying to roll over and she fell asleep there for a loooong time. She is so active, always trying to sit up and roll over.

Bedtime stories.

Fall Things + Dana's Hunting Trip

 Clara and I walked over to the high school for a boys' soccer game. They were pretty impressive to watch. Elise and Clara had fun raking leaves and Grandpa and Grandma's lake. Well, I know Clara had a great time for sure. I can't remember if I had posted that Dana did away with the garden and planted grass where it once was. So, Clara mowed that section. It was a perfect size for her to tackle. She might have found herself a summer job already. An amazing double rainbow! Thank you to those who donated for Clara's school walk-a-thon which took place last Monday. Dana and I were able to go watch and then joined in for some laps as well. Benny the Eagle was out there cheering the kids on too. Dana was busy making monster cookies for his annual hunting trip up north with his Dad and family friends. He kindly left some behind for us...which are long since gone now. :-) Grandma Holly came up while the guys were gone and took Clara shopping and the girls for lunch on Saturday

Thanksgiving 2023

The kids rolled out and baked sugar cookies for Thanksgiving. We finished our thankful pumpkin. I saw this in the store and given the season, it took me right back to my Grandma D's house on Thanksgiving and the bowl of walnuts she'd have on her table with the nutcracker. I wanted to buy it just for nostalgia purposes. Cora and Clara made these adorable turkey crafts at the crafternoon at the library.  On Tuesday we went downtown for the tree lighting at Broadway Square. Abby, Hubert's sister, joined us as well. She just turned 10, so she got along pretty well with Clara. They had s'mores kits so we had to toast some mallows right away. I love how Clara's marshmallow is completely ablaze and she's still posing for the photo. Hahaha. We had to visit the reindeer too. I made them do jazz hands. And then, of course, we had to hit up Blackbird afterward. Our Wednesday morning XaBeat class. We were feelin' pretty festive. The girls had Wednesday off from school,

May Day + My Birthday + Star Wars Day

Brynn put together our May Day baskets and did a fantastic job. Clara and I did the deliveries... And we received one as well with these beautiful flowers. It was from Clara's friend, Cora, and her fam. We went out to dinner as a family to celebrate my birthday on Wednesday to best accommodate schedules this week. I got to open my cards and gifts when we got home. I had picked up a slice of puppy chow cake at Sonder Bakehouse so we all shared that. Then Brynn and I went out to play a little tennis. It was a beautiful day outside. I had taken Friday (my actual birthday) off of work and Tessa came up to have brunch with me. We had Black Coffee + Waffle Bar. It was so fun. Then May did my hair as it was overdue for a cut and color. Dana and I were able to go out just us two while Brynn took Clara to her school fun night...not only that, but Brynn also volunteered to sell tickets/wristbands (I was originally going to do it) so that I didn't have to and could go out. 💜 I had a coup
