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.

Christmas 2025/New Years 2026

Christmas gift wrapping shenanigans: Keeping Brynn company while she wraps all of our Christmas gifts. Brynn and I couldn't help but peek at the 150 Famous Poems book we gave to Clara. So many good ones. Getting into the holiday spirit at Courts Plus. Ha! Christmas eve brunch. Clara's gingerbread house contest strategy notes. Contestants were allowed 20 minutes to shop for their houses at Wal-mart. We left ourselves little time to get ready for the 3:00 Christmas eve service at our church. But, we made it and thankfully didn't have to sit in the overflow area in the chapel! It was a beautiful service. We had bit more time in between church and when we planned to leave for Tessa's, so I mixed up my eggnog and we got the car packed. Tessa's family hosted Christmas eve at their lake home. We had a great mix of people to play a game of Mind the Gap. Getting cookies ready for Santa. Clara got Dana and me up around 7:30 and we watched her open her stocking. I think Dana a...

Halloween 2025

Happy Halloween! We did trick-or-treating at my office again and celebrated National Cat Day a couple of days late. Unicorn making magic happen! The kids and Freddy. We got a little bit of a late start around 7:30. We went to a neighborhood near the high school where several of Clara's friends live. We stopped at Micah's house to say hi and another schoolmate happened to be over as well. We got to visiting too long and by the time we headed back out, some houses either had run out of candy (including Micah's, where they went through 600 pieces his mom said) or were already done for the night. But, we still got around to several. It had just gotten done raining and the wind was cold, so I didn't care to be out too long myself. Clara asked to have another post-Halloween party this year and Brynn planned and executed the whole thing. One of our fav parts was the missing children posters which were all the guests. Green Army Man, Clara Barton, Luna Lovegood (from Harry Pott...

Clara's 11th Birthday

Clara celebrated her 11th birthday with a disco themed party with her friends and musical party with family. Happy birthday, Clara Rae! We love you! Brynn baked and decorated Clara's family party cake while Clara decorated the cupcakes she and I baked for her friend party. Dana and Clara turned the back garage into a discotheque and Clara made up a playlist for Dana to use when he was DJing.   I made her birthday baked oats the morning of her birthday. Brynn did an incredible job on the cake! After her own party, Clara was off to another one for her friend Elizabeth.  On Sunday Clara wanted to go to The Olive Garden for her birthday dinner out. They gave her a whole container of mints just for her. Ha.
