Busy Brynn & Mama Clara

On Monday when I was home with the girls in the afternoon we made my sister's hot cocoa recipe that we ended up not having at Brynn's birthday party. Brynn said it was the best ever.



One night this week Daddy and Brynn were working on this 3D star project from this craft book. It turned out pretty cool.



As cold as it was this week, there was a break in the below-freezing temps for it to warm up enough to snow. So, Brynn was out there shoveling while Dad blew snow.



One of the gifts (a bed for her new doll) we were giving Brynn for her birthday didn't arrive until this week. Clara kept trying to climb into the bed. Ha.



The infant room at daycare is big into Minions. On Friday morning they had a Minion breakfast and the parents could join them for a little muffin too. This isn't the usual room they're in; I think they moved them over for breakfast since some of the parents were coming. It's always funny to watch the kids interacting with each other. Clara is still the only girl in her room with seven other boys. The daycare teachers call her the princess. :-)



bath time!
 Playing with Grandpa on Friday night. Grandpa and Grandma stopped to pick up Brynn for a weekend at the lake together.


Brynn took her new sewing machine to the lake and she and Grandma made this cool Minion hot pad.

We sure missed Brynn this weekend when she was gone, but the upside to it was that I got a little bit more one-on-one time with Clara. She was busy with her baby Saturday after her nap.




Here's how to take care of a baby, according to Clara!

Check the temperature of the milk.

Feed baby

Feed baby some more.

Check how much you have left in the bottle.

Baby needs a pacifier.

and snuggles.

Shhh! Baby's sleeping.

Sometimes you just don't know what to do with baby.

Reading one of her favorite books (Corduroy) to baby this morning.

Daddy and Brynn did another project tonight: putting together the Goldie Blocks set that she got for her birthday.





For Christmas Clara got this little inflatable ball house from Brynn. Clara really likes it and they both got all riled up playing tonight. I about died laughing when Clara smooshed her face up to the plastic window. Then Brynn had to join in too.


Clara thought it was pretty funny, too.

LOL - love the sequence photos of Clara taking care of her baby. She's such a mommy! We enjoyed having Brynn for the weekend. She looks like Peppa Pig with her face smashed up to the plastic in the ball pit - ha!

Do I see more teeth coming through for Clara? So glad Grma Laurie can help Brynn with her sewing.

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
