Froemmings

Rough week apparently! This was last Friday. The girls are usually pretty tuckered out by the end of the week. More snoozing. Clara taking a nap last Saturday with her fav buddy, Roger. Meanwhile Brynn had her friend Belle over to play. Grandpa and Grandma Froemming were staying at a motel for their annual shopping trip up to Fargo with friends, so they invited us to come swim. The girls had such a fun time. Clara even went down the slide all by herself. She scooted down so quickly I barely was able to catch her there at the end. Brynn was pretty excited, clearly. ;-) Small group in Sunday School with just these two. They shared lots of giggles taking turns drawing parts of Jesus' face blindfolded. (The lesson, as you may have guessed, was when Jesus healed the blind man.) Grandpa and Grandma took the girls out on a walk on Sunday with new hats they bought for them. It was so nice outside. I heard they were pretty mystified with the city drains here...

We all had a good Valentine's celebration yesterday. The girls had their exchanges at school and got a nice loot there. Then we opened gifts they had gotten from family and Daddy at home. Thank you to everyone for the sweet cards and gifts! Brynn's valentine box. She told me it was a huskie. Clara talking to Grandpa and Grandma Froemming My sweethearts (Dana included because he was in on this too) gave me my favs: DDP and cookies! I felt so loved, that's for sure. Chocolate roses from Daddy. Apparently Brynn was pretty surprised.   On Monday night Brynn made a heart of out of Hershey's kisses.

Last week Clara and I battled a nasty cold which left Clara home to recover most of the week. Grandpa and Grandma Froemming were able to come up and take care of Clara so she could rest up at home and get well again. We're so thankful they could come and help us out. I'm happy to report she and I are doing quite a bit better, but now Dana and Brynn seem to be fighting off some similar symptoms. Hopefully they don't get any worse. 'Tis the season. :-(   At Elise's birthday party the weekend prior, Elise and Brynn made plans to have a sleepover at our house soon. It happened that it worked out for this past weekend. They sure played and played and had a great time together. They were mostly holed up in Brynn's room the whole time. When they did emerge I hardly recognized them in their interesting attire. Ha. Grandpa and Grandma F scored this monkey for Clara while they were shopping together last week. She already takes him everywhere including ch...

Clara loves to read books... Many a Battleship game were played this past week. Brynn's class celebrated the 100th day of school. We were excited and glad to celebrate cousin Elise's 8th birthday with her on Saturday. She had an awesome theme of Alice in Wonderland.  It was my turn to teach Brynn's Sunday School class today. Pretty much every time I teach I want to take pics of all the fun things we're doing. It was only one other girl and Brynn in our class today so it was a bit more low key and I had the opportunity to grab my phone quick. Our lesson was Jesus doing the impossible and bringing his friend Lazarus back from the dead. It mentioned in the story how Lazarus had been wrapped in cloth after his death. So, each group chose a 'Lazarus' and wrapped that person up in TP. Brynn was obviously our Lazarus. You had to use the whole roll and our group won! They always have such great ideas and ways to keep the kids...
