Videos & Wildness

Video of Brynn singing a Taylor Swift song she likes:


Clara mothering Walrus in the bathtub and being silly. I wish I would have started recording sooner, as just before I got the camera on her, she was trying to do 'Itsy Bitsy Spider' with Walrus. 



On Monday when we were home all day, we tried out the new picnic table. It was great! 



I was switching out some laundry right before Clara's bath and I turned around to find her climbing into this clothes basket with her pot from her kitchen.


Trying to put on big sissy's undies. Ha.



I read this past week in the newspaper's advice column about this lady who was upset with her in-laws at her birthday party because the entire time they only paid attention to their young children and didn't get into the party. Annie pointed out so eloquently, as she often does, that small children need constant supervision. Here are two truths to that point!  Clara somehow got herself a nice section of toilet paper and then wormed through the open patio door and was running around on the deck, waving to someone, trailing the TP around with her.


The next day I had just finished vacuuming up the kitchen when she went to get the container of Cheerios and the top popped off and spilled cereal all over. She wasn't very impressed that they kept sticking to her socks. They were of the honey nut variety, so naturally a bit stickier. She keeps me on my toes! :-)



Flashback Friday to when Clara Bear was too little and immobile to find any trouble...but is as sweet now as she was then. My honey bear...

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...

Clara's 11th Birthday

Clara celebrated her 11th birthday with a disco themed party with her friends and musical party with family. Happy birthday, Clara Rae! We love you! Brynn baked and decorated Clara's family party cake while Clara decorated the cupcakes she and I baked for her friend party. Dana and Clara turned the back garage into a discotheque and Clara made up a playlist for Dana to use when he was DJing.   I made her birthday baked oats the morning of her birthday. Brynn did an incredible job on the cake! After her own party, Clara was off to another one for her friend Elizabeth.  On Sunday Clara wanted to go to The Olive Garden for her birthday dinner out. They gave her a whole container of mints just for her. Ha.
