Home Sick

Yesterday I had taken the day off to be at home with Clara, but Brynn ended up sick and stayed home from school with us. She still stayed pretty busy for not feeling the best. We made some cut-out cookies and played games and she did some crafts, of course. She went back to school today and seems to be doing better now.

She made this campfire yesterday when she was home. The paper towel holder rings are log benches. I loved it!


The other day she also made a board game together with game pieces. She didn't have a chance to make the cards to go with it yet though. We had just gotten done playing a game of Sorry yesterday and then happened to be talking about her game (which she named Action) and she all of a sudden starts up an announcer-type of voice, like a commercial and says..

"...new game Action brought to you by...(and then she kind of trailed off like she couldn't think of who the maker might be.) Pick it up today at Wal-mart or Sam's Club. Doesn't have cards yet, but if you have 'Sorry,' just use those cards." hahaha. I was laughing so hard.





Brynn was out in the garage tonight helping Dad on the four-wheeler. How much do they look alike in this picture!?



She checked out this 3-D book from the school library. Pretty cool. She keeps trying to scoop up whatever she sees on the pages. Ha.



Merry Christmas! The holidays just aren't complete without some ugly sweaters! This is at my office. We had an office/cubicle decorating contest and an ugly sweater contest. I did not win at either, but we did catch a pic of the four of us who donned ugly sweaters today. Mine was a loaner from the lady to the left of me. She actually did wear this for real back in the 90s, she said. :-) Mitch (the lone guy in the pic) had brought in this portable fireplace for his cubicle to try and win the contest for decorating...which he did. Karmell to the left of me won the sweater contest. 



Christmas pics of the girls...

I just love Brynn's creative mind! What a hoot at your office. You look fantastic in that sweater! Great photos! The girls look so sweet and yes Dana and Brynnie look alike on the 4 wheeler for sure. :)

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...
