Birthday, Muffins and More

Last Saturday Brynn had one of her classmate friends over to play for the day. Her mom came to pick her up and then they ended up going back over to Belle's house to play some more. Ha. They were busy making Brynn's crystal kit in the first picture. The goggles they are wearing were suppose to be their lab glasses, I guess. :-) Once Brynn met up with Belle in the park and realized how close she lives, they were really excited to play together more. She is such a sweet girl, so we definitely like having her around.

Belle's mom invited Brynn along to the craft event the at the nearby public library every Monday. They had such a good time making paper ninjas. Brynn is so looking forward to going again on Monday. Belle's mom had texted me these pics. Afterward Belle came over to play until Brynn had to go to her piano lesson. :-)

Grandpa and Grandma Froemming brought supper up for my birthday and then we all walked over to Penny's house to pick Brynn up from her lesson. I have been meaning to get a shot of her latest statue that she earned for practicing 4000 minutes now! She was really excited about that. Now she is beginning to practice her recital song which will be on May 23rd.

Tis the season! I had back-to-back Muffins with Moms fun this week with Brynn at Centennial on Wednesday and with Clara at Hope this morning.

We gave Brynn's teacher a pot full of chocolates for teacher appreciation week.

Celebrating my birthday at DQ.

This is what happens when time-outs aren't cutting it. I think it was successful...at least for that day anyway.

Crystal update!

Muffins with Mom from today:

Heh heh. My favorite is the 'I'm here! Come in!"

We are loving this great weather we've been having and have been trying to take full advantage of it. Brynn and Daddy have been able to get back on track with their nightly bike ride even.

Eating...always eating:

"C'mon!" Also, this little muffin tinkled in the potty chair last night! I was so bummed; I missed it! Dana was giving Clara a bath while I was out with my co-workers for a going away get-together and apparently she asked to get out of the tub and was pointing to her potty chair, so Dana set her on it and lo and behold!

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
