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!

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...

Fourth of July 2025

We were able to spend the Fourth at Tamarac again this year, with my sister and her family.  We arrived just in time for Brynn to change into her tennis outfit for the boat parade float. Their theme was sports this year. Clara and Oliver caught candy from the dock. This was the first Fourth of July holiday spent at my sister and Chad's own cabin on the same lake that Chad's parents have their cabin. Clara brought my mom one of her favs, Tootsie Roll. We were also celebrating Mom's freedom this holiday...from working on the Fourth! For the past how many years, Mom has had to work the Fourth of July parade back home in Carrington. However, this year as she is preparing to retire and training in her replacement, she gave the parade reins to her successor. It was great to have both Mom and Dad spend the Fourth with all of us together. It was just like old times when we all gathered at Terry and Wanda's for lunch though. I made a new recipe for dessert: red, white and blue c...

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...
