More Early Halloween Festivities...

Today we had our Halloween costume contest at work and also awarded the winner of the office/cubicle decorating contest. Here are some pictures of our fun from today. In case you can't spot me, I borrowed Brynn's Maleficent horns and went as the scary witch myself.. I am to the right of the bunny, in front of the cupcake in the bottom row. The bunny did a wardrobe change into Snow White later and won third place, Karmell the cupcake won second and the garden gnome in the middle took first. That scary head thing next to the referee is not actually a person, but part of the decor. The cupcake and the nun won on the collaborative decorating effort. Their decor is everything that is behind us as our backdrop. It was just fantastic. And so much so that no one else felt they could top it and they ended up being the only ones who decorated. So, they took first, second, and third on that prize!

We all got in front of the backdrop for individual pics as well.

Later in the afternoon everyone's kiddos started arriving to 'trick-or-treat' at the office. It was so cute seeing the little ones dressed up too. My two are to the left, kind of in the back.

I tried to put Crazy Clara to work while she was the office, but instead she wedged herself in between two cabinets. :-)

Tonight was the Fall Festival at Brynn's school. Since they aren't allowed to wear their costumes to school during the day, they hold the Fall Festival in the evening and everyone is welcome to wear their costumes then. We played Bingo first while we ate pizza and then Rosha showed up, even though she goes to a different school now! So, Brynn was pretty excited about that, as she was just lamenting on the way over how she wished Rosha could be there tonight too. So, they played some other games and danced at the dance a little bit.

I think we should have dressed her for a monkey for Halloween instead of an elephant. ;-)

Friends at the dance

Brynn helping her teacher with a game at the end of the night. She won the lanyard and t-shirt playing games.

It was such a nice night, so Brynn rode her bike home and I walked. Hoping for great weather again tomorrow!

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...
