Brynn's Family Birthday Party

Saturday we kept with the art theme and celebrated Brynn's birthday with her family party. The roads were really icy, but thankfully most who were planning on coming made it to our house. Brynn requested pizza and since she doesn't care for cake, we thought it would be fun to do an ice cream sundae bar. She loves ice cream. And who doesn't love ice cream when it's 10 degrees outside? :-)

Thank you to everyone who came and for those who gave gifts! She spent the day on Sunday playing with all the fun things she got. And more of that today, as she was off of school for "Martin Lutheran King and Junior" day, as she calls it. Ha. 

Thank you to my sister for some of the pictures below!




We displayed some of her artwork that she's done in the window. She was really excited for her tie-dye balloons. 















Video of Brynn blowing her candles

I swear she has grown a foot since turning 7. :-( So grown up now.




She has been pining for this Play-doh dentist set for awhile. It is pretty fun actually.

Look out, Grandpa!

Bottoms up

Patty cake with Grandma

Project in progress here. Nothing a little duct tape couldn't take care of. Brynn was busy making a car for her pets and needed the seat to stay in place.



"Pests only" or Pets Only, rather. :-)

I don't think you have a real childhood unless you have sat inside a cardboard box for fun.

These are getting a little out of order here, but just some miscellany from the previous week.

This little stinker caused a monsoon in the kitchen tonight. She was getting pretty rambunctious for the infant tub... and big, so I thought I would try to bathe her in the sink. I don't think we'll be doing the sink route again! We were all so soaking wet by the end. You can see how wet just my sweatshirt is in this picture. Here is video of her trying to swim her way out of the sink. Crazy girl...

Crazy Clara in the sink



Clara is finally feeling better now. Once her fever broke last Sunday she seemed to be on the mend. Now she's just had a stuffy/sniffle nose and lingering cough, both of which are improving. 
I had her to the walk-in clinic last Monday. This mask lasted all of about five minutes.

Sleepy snuggles with Dad.

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
