Catching Up

I feel so behind on blogging lately. We haven't been up to anything too major, which is nice. But, here is what we have been up to!


Typical Clara mothering any baby she can her hands on. This is one of the babies at daycare and she always wants to hug him and pet his head. They tell me she is very gentle with him.



Last weekend Brynn attended one of her classmate's birthday party at SkyZone. SkyZone is a place where kids can literally bounce off the walls! Ha. They have a few different areas which are like big trampolines you can jump on and a pit with foam squares to jump into. Her friend Jaylin was there, too, so she had a fun time.




Daddy was snowmobiling last Saturday, so while Clara was napping that afternoon, Brynn and I played Monopoly. I was the cat and she was the dog.



Brynn was excited that on Friday it was Snuggle Up With a Book day at school. The students in her class got to wear PJs and bring a pillow and blanket.


Brynn needed new snowpants, so she and her shopping companion, Daddy, went to Scheels on Friday night to get some new ones...and visit the presidents.



Yesterday the girls and I spent the day out at Grandpa & Grandma's lake place. Grandma and I scrapped (and Brynn a little too) and Grandpa and Brynn went out ice fishing. They only did catch one, but had a good time anyway.

Clara was having fun with Grandpa.





We made a big mess with our scrapbooking stuff...




Today was another nice day, so we all went out to play in the snow for a bit after Clara woke up from her nap. Brynn got buried in the snow and she and Daddy made a snowman.





Poor thing can't really move in all her garb.

I think Brynn named him Grant.



Tonight the girls took a bath together in our upstairs tub. Clara was kindly helping Brynn wash her hair.

Love Brynn's beautiful braid at her friend's party. And of course Clara's 'sprout' piggy tails are soooo cute too! Good to spend some time together on Saturday. Looks like we need to get Brynn some sunglasses like Clara's. :)

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...

September

When Brynn was in 8th grade, their class wrote letters to themselves that they would open once they were seniors. School staff must have sent them right to the high school for safe keeping because a few weeks ago, Brynn got hers back and read through it.    I had perfect weather for visiting a grower with my drone for work last month. Clara spent a night at Grandpa and Grandma Dietz's and did all sorts of activities. Family walk! Brynn ran into this bunch shopping at the mall. 😄 I was so tickled to get this pic from auntie - as much as Brynn was to bump into them. This nomad cat has been showing up around our cul-de-sac, but he does not like me, unfortunately. :-( His tag even says that he's not lost, he just likes to roam. Ha. (I only know that because he actually let our neighbor catch him.) Clara and I have been going to some Davies football games while it's been so nice out. Brynn has been accepted at both NDSU and UND. Yay! We visit UND next Friday, so it will be inte...
