Weekend Back Home

This past week was ND Teacher's Convention on Thursday and Friday which meant Brynn was off of school those days. On Thursday Grandma Holly and Brynn had a girls' shopping day together. Brynn had so much fun and she got a lot of great things shopping. The first pic was a new outfit she got that she is totally in love with. I had to peel it off of her over the weekend, as she had already worn it for about two straight days...or more probably! Thanks, Grandma Holly!

I had planned then to take the girls back home over the weekend as Dana went up north hunting with his dad and their family friends. I took Friday off of work to be able to visit the great grandmas while we were home.

First we visited Grandma D.

Uncle Randy came over to visit, too, and measured the girls' heights and marked them on Grandma's wall. Hopefully they will not have grown too much by the next time we come back to visit!

We spent the afternoon visiting with Auntie Tessa and the cousins and then all got together with our parents at Grandma Darlene's for supper. The kids had a great time 'helping' Grandma with her leaves.

Grandpa Kim likes to do a now annual fall hayride for the grandkids. It was a great day for it on Saturday.

The kids had to stop and pick some corn along the way.

I got some good snuggles in with Mom and Dad's cat, Seymour.

Brynn made him a house of sorts.

We decided to make homemade donuts last night. They turned out yummy!

Clara and Grandpa playing ping pong.

Clara really didn't have a chance yet to decorate a pumpkin at home so she did that this afternoon after we got back home.

Brynn was impressed. :-)

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
