Last Friday night was the annual school carnival at Centennial. Brynn wanted to meet up with her friend Lily there, so I took her and Daddy stayed home with Clara.
On Saturday we headed to Bismarck for my aunt and uncle's 40th anniversary party. I told Dana on the way that seems impossible that they could have been married for that long! We had a fun time listening to my cousin's band play and seeing friends and family, many whom we hadn't seen in quite some time.

We stayed at Cindy and Carey's house after the party and all went out to eat at our Dietz family-favorite, Red Lobster, on Sunday. Brynn got the chance to see a live lobster up close and personal.
We came home to beautiful weather on Sunday and spent the rest of the day outside!

We had to have a little sit-down one evening about complaining about things and having a good attitude, etc. Brynn must have actually took it to heart because she wrote me this apology. :-)
In case you can't make out all the words, it says: "Dear Tara, I am sorry that I am saying unkind things to you. I apologize."
This whole week has been so beautiful outside; we've been trying to soak it up as soon as we all get home. We grabbed a pizza on Monday night and had a picnic.
Brynn got out her bubbles today. Clara wasn't sure what to think of them. I think she did like them though.

Kisses for sister. It is unbelievable to me, but Brynn already seems to be tan! The HopeKids gang has been playing at the Stonebridge Park (the one right behind our house) every afternoon this week, so I know she's been outside quite a bit already.

Brynn's teacher encouraged her to try chapter book, so Brynn said she'd give it a shot. I have also been trying to get her to start into chapter books, but no one wants to listen to Mom. :-) She has really gotten engrossed in this Junie B. Jones book Mrs. Stewart gave her as a reward for good behavior at school.
