Valentines

We didn't really do anything specific for Valentines Day, but Brynn had a party at school on Friday and Clara exchanged valentines with her buddies as well. 

Daddy had to lower the crib so litlte monkey wouldn't escape. 



Aunt Cindy sent me this idea, and since Clara's room at daycare is so into Minions, I thought it would be fun for her to bring these.


Some of Clara's loot. I loved all the creative gifts!

Clara's valentine art.

I asked Brynn if she wanted to make a specific themed valentines box, but she just wanted to decorate a Kleenex box. She ended up adding a 'sucker holder' which was Minion themed. 




The valentine card Brynn made for me:



Brynn did not want to do traditional valentines with candy this year, so she opted for conversation hearts. Notice the little heart on Blake's box. Looks like he may have been Brynnie's valentine. ;-)



 Brynn had a friend stay for a sleepover on Saturday night. Not sure how much sleep they got, as sleepovers usually go, but at least she was able to sleep in yesterday with no school.


Ready to take my order.


Clara gets really mad if she can't get her baby (or lil penguin) wrapped up just how she wants. And she doesn't want anyone else to do it either. This video illustrates her rage very well. Yes, that penguin did almost hit me in the head and yes she did fall off the chair at the end of the video. In the midst of everything, she also found a crumb which she had to taste. Blech. Crazy Clara!

Aw, Clara just gets cuter and cuter! I was just telling someone the other day what a little mommy she is to her baby dolls. Glad to see Brynn's liking her jammies :) They got some cute valentines!

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
