Another Tooth, Swimming, Snow

Brynn and Clara dancing together on Sunday. I don't know if you can make it out on the video, but Brynn tells Clara, 'oh my sweetie pie. I love you.' :-)



Clara hanging around...



The girls both had dentist appointments on Monday. Clara did better than last time; she only cried for the first half. :-) She was happy as a clam once she was done and got to hang her fish on the net to celebrate being cavity-free. Unfortunately Brynn has a cavity that she'll need to get filled. She was pretty disappointed. 



I don't recall if I had shared that Brynn was excited to pass level two in swimming lessons last session. She was ready to move on to level three and is loving it. She started using goggles now and that has really increased her confidence in the water.



Her class even took a try going off the diving board today. I was so proud of her. She seemed kind of apprehensive at first, but she followed through and said it was so much fun and it was like going through a water portal. Ha. 




There goes another tooth! Last night the latest loose one she had and last of the front teeth was only half hanging on and really bothering her. The part that was still attached seemed pretty stuck on and not really ready to budge loose yet. Well, it must've loosened up because at Hope they posted a message in the parent app that Brynn had lost it. It actually fell out at school. I love that they were able to post the pic for us to see in there! I thought she looked so cute in this pic.



We were laughing that she looks like a vampire now.



And then this also happened today. Ugh, good-bye spring. :-(



Brynn working on a school writing project. They were assigned to write a 'fractured fairytale' (twist of a real fairy tale), about 25 sentences long, but they're supposed to type it up and e-mail it to their teacher. Brynn's is titled 'Kicking Beauty.'

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
