Hope Fest, etc

Brynn has started learning keyboarding in school and the teacher gave the students a link where they can go online and practice their skills. 



Always doing hair...



Clara usually drinks the remaining milk from her cereal bowl when she's done with the cereal. And she loves syrup, so here she was drinking her syrup. No wonder she's so sweet. :-/ She drank the rest of the green bean juice when the beans were all gone out of the bowl the other day. Ewww.

Rosha came over to play last Saturday. I had found these big sidewalk chalk paint Crayons. They were pretty messy and didn't work really great, but the girls did seem to get a kick out of them,  I guess.



 I have been getting a kick out of the daycare care sheet notations lately. They write if your child has mostly had a green, yellow or red day. Green is they were happy all day, no issues, not sad, they listened, etc. Yellow represents minor issues like the child was sad/anxious/mad, had some listening issues, things like that. Clara has then received red when she has bitten the other daycare children. Anyway, so whenever I see 'yellow' written on her sheet, I always inquire as to what it had been for. Usually it's just that she had gotten a bit emotional in the morning and then after her nap, she is all happy again. But lately they've also been writing "just being Clara." This apparently means that she was just being her stubborn self, wanting to do her own thing. Like the other day she refused to sit down for one of the group activities they were doing together. She apparently is on her own agenda. Haha.


Last Sunday was our church's kick-off event for the year, Hope Fest. It had been quite a few years since the last time we had been there. So, the girls and I headed over for a bit as Brynn said she'd like to go and it was so nice out.

"Fishing"

Clara helping Brynn with her sundae cone. Also, I'm not pulling her hair; just holding it out of the way as it was really windy.

They had the best photo booth set-up I had ever seen. So fun.

Walking home.

This past Tuesday Grandpa and Grandma Froemming were in town for some appointments and errands and surprised the girls by picking them up early at Hope. They walked with the wagon and made a stop at the park on the way home.


Lovey snuggles.

Great pics! I've never thought of having them practice keyboarding online, that's a neat idea.

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...

Northern Lights + Life Lately

Auntie Tessa thought of Clara when she saw this recipe and sent it to her in the mail. 💜We haven't had a chance to make them yet though. Brynn is a histology hero! Her anatomy teacher gave them some stickers. It gave me a chuckle. Clara's accelerated learning teacher always asks them to come up with questions and I think she had noted this one to bring to class. Dad and Brynn! Last week Brynn and I started out on a walk and realized the Northern lights were very visible. I hadn't heard that they would be out, so it was an awesome surprise. There was a lot of movement as well which was extra cool. Brynn took these with her phone as I didn't have mine out with us. We were so amazed to see them so well from right in town. Some of the Red Dragons swim team practices have been at Moorhead High, home of the Spuds! They have a brand new school which I hadn't been in yet. It was so fun to see a bit of the inside as it turned out so impressively.  Our friends, Jessica and R...
