Play Time

Brynn pointing out her artwork at HopeKids ASP.



I had been looking forward to this weekend of just bumming around and relaxing at home a bit. Dana went snowmobiling for the day on Saturday, so I took the girls to Barnes & Noble in the morning. Brynn had gotten some gift cards that she wanted to use there. Clara and I patiently waited while Brynn perused. Clara had found the book she wanted right away. And then sat down next to this herd of dinosaurs to read for a bit. I think they were part of the story time.




Brynn loves Legos as much as her daddy and has gotten a few of the Lego Friends sets now. I am kind of liking the change from princess overload to woman superheros and Legos.



Horsing around while Clara was napping...



When Clara did wake up from her nap, of course she was ready for a snack. She asked for an apple and then sniffed out some cookies and wanted one of those too. So, I had that all in one bowl and noticed the lone cookie remaining in her dish. I thought to myself how great it was that she actually ate all the apples first!



....until I stumbled across this next. :-/  Ha. It went undocumented, but honestly she did end up eating most, if not all, of the apples later on, and the cookie lay mostly untouched in her bowl. She is a good little eater.



Finally we had some nice weather to go outside and play this weekend.




Brynn and Clara playing 'night, night,' as Clara calls it. Basically where Brynn is the mom and rocks Clara, then apparently stuffs her into the doll pack-n-play. Fun times.



Brynn and are in the throes of an ongoing Scrabble game.



The girls discovered the fun of sliding down the stairs today. Clara is forever "me too!" ;-)

Love them all! Great outdoor pics. That one of Clara stuffed in the pack n' play is hilarious. Looked like she was going to go head over heels down the stairs!

Happy 10th Birthday, Clara!

Clara made a countdown chain to her 10th birthday. We baked a red velvet cake for her family party and chocolate cupcakes for her friend party. She looks so tall in some of these pics! Izabell's boyfriend, Neil, and Clara share the same birthday, so they all went out for lunch on their actual birthday on the 2nd. And then Neil had to get a tour of the Clara Express. Dana was in charge of getting balloons for the party and I sent him to Dollar Tree which apparently doesn't fill latex balloons, only Mylar. Dana "just knew" he had gotten the 'wrong' ones, and called me in a fit of rage over it and then followed up with this photo. haha. It all worked out just fine for Clara's ninja themed parties and I was able to pick up a few more black latex balloons from Cash Wise on my way home from work. Clara had already started partying at Prairie Joy's birthday party the night before, so I think she was short on sleep. I couldn't find her when I got home on F...

Mom + Brynn Take Chicago 2024

Brynn and I were very excited to embark on our mother-daughter trip to Chicago this week. We had gifted Brynn part of the trip as her sweet 16 birthday gift. We flew direct out of Fargo on Wednesday. We stayed at the Grand Plaza apartments on State Street in a VRBO rental. We loved it there! The building had an outdoor rooftop pool, library, gaming/movie room and gym on the 9th floor. This was us looking down from our 50th floor balcony. I refused to go to the edge of the balcony. Blech. (Photo credit: Brynn on this one!) Here are a few pics of inside the apartment that I hawked off of the VRBO listing. We got our things settled and ran next door to a Jewel Osco grocery for a few things and then got ready for dinner at River Roast along the Chicago River. It was very good and beautiful weather. I think Brynn said this was her favorite place that we ate at. Our waiter Jorge brought Brynn a carrot cake when we said we were celebrating Brynn's birthday on the trip. We came back to the...

May Happenings + More Birthday Celebration + Northern Lights + Mother's Day

 S'mores on the deck... We got Brynn's team tennis pics back. They turned out great! I had to get a couple of pins and magnets. I should have taken a pic of Hubert and me spectating at one of her games last week as Hubert was sporting his pin. :-) We three girls played last week during a nice evening. Clara's class is doing an alphabet countdown to the last day of school. J was joke day. And Clara loves to share jokes with her teacher. She made her own joke book to bring. Cindy took Dad and me out to lunch for our birthdays last Thursday. It was such a fun time and Dad and I each got a cookie skillet for being the birthday kids! So delish. We went to Granite City. Always good! Dana and I went to Sartell, MN on Thursday night and arrived late. We stopped over at the after party of the groom's dinner for our friends getting married on Friday. I snagged their kitty for a snuggle. Roger and I were the photographers for the wedding which was beautiful. We had such a good tim...
