Shennanigans

Last week Brynn's class attended a concert at Concordia College.



Super Clara!


Clara will often get her stuffed animals or dolls and manipulate their hands to do things. Here she was having Roger help clean up her toys. Cracks me up. And tonight in the bath we had to have Barbie help rinse her hair.




Saturday morning Dad had been planning to go to the shooting range with one of his friends and ended up inviting Brynn to tag along as well. Friday they made a target holder together. Pretty fancy! Brynn showed me her target when she came back and she had done pretty well with the BB gun.




Meanwhile Clara and I stayed home and she made me this fantastic-looking ice cream cone.





In the afternoon our friends Amanda and Adria came over to play. The girls are sillier than ever together. It was so funny.



Brynn had gotten out her Maleficent costume from Halloween last year, so the girls had to try the horns on too.







Why, yes, that is our child trying to pull the horns off of her friend. :-/



Goodbyes are so hard! Ha. This was so cute. They kept trying to give kisses through the door. Clara just had her undies on and they were working their way in, so I added this black box over these next few pics. :-)

Brynn still has not lost that tooth yet! Stay tuned; it's looser by the day!

Haha, Clara & Adria are so cute together. BFFs for sure. Can't wait to hear about that tooth, Brynn!

Oh man, that was so fun visiting, and watching the gruesome twosome in action. Brynn was an exceptional sport throughout the festivities ; )

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...
