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.

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...
