Picnic in the Park and Just Clara

Today Brynn's class had a picnic in the park at Stonebridge Park which is the one behind our house. Mrs. Stewart invited parents to join them either at the park or to walk over with the class. Brynn asked me if I would walk with them so I met up with them at the school to walk over. It was such a perfect day; the kids seemed to have a lot of fun. I also got to meet one of Brynn's newer friends, Melissa, who moved here mid-year from Philadelphia. She and her family live in the apartments across the park, and I think she and Brynn did play together one night when Dana took Brynn to the park. She was quite a character. She talked non-stop and was so animated. Ha. I got a kick out of her. She also rides the bus in the morning, so Brynn has a bus buddy now and I think they usually eat breakfast together at the school.

Sitting with Melissa and Brynn's other friend, Lilly.

Since it was so nice out Brynn suggested we walk over to Penny's for her piano lesson today. Brynn has been practicing "Tomorrow" from the musical Annie which she'll perform at her recital on Tuesday.

After piano we were going to grab a pizza from Casey's and just as we were walking up to the counter I saw the guy drop a pizza on the floor. Well, of course that was our pizza. Ha. So, we had to wait there until he made a new one. It's right in the middle of the photo, in case you missed it. I took a pic to text Dana, letting him know we were going to be a bit longer than expected.

Killing time waiting for our pizza. It was worth the wait!

Little pumpkin has seemed so much more mobile this past week or two. She always wants to stand and is trying to get around by any means possible. She did pull herself forward on her stomach the other night; whereas she could only go in reverse before. Big girl.

Luckily since it was such a gorgeous day/evening, I could bring Clara out for her round of pics tonight. Such a happy baby.

Just saw this post - those girls look like they have some fun together! Nice shots of them at the park. Oh my sweet Clara is so cute - I'll have to get some reprints of those shots!!! Thinking of Brynnie today with her recital - wish we could be there.

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...
