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...

January Recap

Right before Christmas break was done, Brynn and  I went downtown to Nichole's for some graduation planning. Making lefse! Clara finished up her time in robotics league with a presentation of the robots and mission that she and her partner/friend, Elizabeth, had been working on. Here's a video compilation of two of the missions they presented. It was so cool. I especially liked the one that picked up the rocks. Some of Brynn's recent drawings. Bedtime snuggles. 💜 I was messaging with Clara's teacher to see if he could let her know that Brynn would pick her up from school one of the very cold days last week. He wrote me back to confirm Clara received the message. I asked Clara when she got home if she wrote that last sentence. Haha. Clara had her first swim meet on Saturday, which was a 'home meet,' hosted by Clara's team, the Red Dragons at Moorhead High School. She was disgruntled about getting up at 7:00 am on a Saturday morning, but each team had specifi...

Clara's Recital + Scouting Event + XaFriendsgiving

I was in full fall mode watching 'When Harry Met Sally" in my turkey leg slippers the other night. Dana and I went out to eat at Granite City on Friday night and I think I found my signature cocktail for Christmas. It's called Snow on the Beach and it was so pretty and tasted really good! Saturday morning Clara had her piano recital and did a great job! Thank you to sister Brynn and the grandparents for coming. After lunch with everyone (family, not the other piano students), she was off to the next thing which was  a Scouting event at NDSU. She had to miss the morning session because of the recital, but in the afternoon they made a tool box. It turned out great. That night we had the XaBeat (the exercise dance class I go to) crew with spouses over for a little XaFriendsgiving. It was super fun. Dana mixing up old fashioneds. There was no shortage of food - it was an amazing spread. Dana smoked a couple turkey breasts that turned out really well and the stuffing sausage bi...

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...
