Friends Weekend

I found this pic of these two monkeys on my cell phone. :-) 

Brynn's school art

The girls in Brynn's class on picture day at school.

Watching Daddy mow lawn.

Brynn didn't have school on Friday, so Grandpa and Grandma Froemming came up to watch the girls. They had a fun day together...obviously. Ha.




Our friends from St. Cloud came to visit this weekend. The kids got on this kick of doing balloon animals and then got the idea to have a balloon stand out in the yard. I told them they couldn't sell them, but they could give away the creations. So, they loaded up the few that they had made with their table and sign and headed out to the front yard. Although I told them they couldn't ask for money, I anticipated that someone might offer them money, so I told them it was ok to accept money if someone wanted to pay for the balloons. They were barely set up when they had their first 'customer' who actually did pay two dollars for a caterpillar balloon for her grandson. Ha. Other 'customers' included a neighbor boy and the mailman. they had a fun time with it.












Daddy bought a 'work runner' this week and Clara was checking it out when we were all playing outside yesterday.









Smoothies last night.

Of course there was not an abundance of sleep these past couple of nights, so I asked Brynn to lie down for a rest this afternoon. She was fightin' it, of course, so I was only a little surprised to see she actually did fall asleep for a bit.

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
