Fall Festival, Friends and Clara Craziness

Brynn was invited to her first friend birthday party sleepover for Saturday night. I think I was more nervous about it than she was, as I was remembering all the times I had gotten homesick at sleepovers when I was younger. She was pretty excited, though. Mostly I think because she told us multiple times that they would be having dessert for breakfast. Whaaaa!? She got her gift wrapped and bag all packed and I dropped her off yesterday afternoon. That was the last I heard/saw of her until I picked her up this morning for Sunday School. Turns out they really did have dessert for breakfast this morning! So, she thought that was pretty cool. This birthday girl is Brynn's classmate and actually doesn't live too far from us, so maybe they can get together to play or have another sleepover sometime. Brynn ended up being the only girl at the 'party.' I think they invited just a couple girls and Brynn was the only one who could make it. I'm glad she had such a good time.

All ready for the sleepover.

Speaking of friends, after Brynn left, Clara and I had Amanda and Adria over for a visit. It was so hilarious to watch the girls interact. Clara kept trying to either clobber or hug Adria, and Adria wasn't too sure about that.

Fun with the AC vent.

It was so beautiful out yesterday, we ate supper on the deck. It was sure weird not having Brynn around.

Daddy's Girl

Bathtub shenanigans!

She has started to take her washcloth and clean the edge of the tub now. She looks like a lil old barkeep. Ha.

Rheault Farm Fall Festival was this weekend as well, and we couldn't miss out on that. We went this afternoon and what a beautiful day. Not surprisingly, it was very busy there.

We ran into Rosha and her parents.

Brynn picked out 'the ripest pumpkin,' according to her. :-) It sure was a nice one. So, we had to get some pictures with it.

Dana and Brynn have been going on a bike ride almost nightly since it's been so nice out. I'm glad Brynn is getting so much use out of her bike yet this year. Meanwhile, Clara and I played around outside a bit before bath time. Just this weekend Clara has gotten more adventurous and will walk all the way across a room or the down the hallway, rather than her maximum of five steps at a time. She still prefers crawling most of the time though.

So glad Brynnie had a fun sleepover! I was thinking you guys were probably at Fall Festival this afternoon - was a gorgeous day. Wow - can't wait to see sweet Clara walking more. Just warms my heart to see her and Adria together - so neat.

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
