Sick & Silly Clara, Brynn's Teeth Update & School Carnival

While we were waiting for that loose tooth of Brynn's to come out, she surprised us one day when she came home from school that a neighboring tooth had fallen out that day instead! (This was right before Easter.) So, the wait was still on for that original stubborn loose one. That one finally did come out this week now. She gets a little down from time to time because she doesn't like how she looks missing so many teeth, but we try to explain to her that all kids her age have been or are currently in the same situation. Growing up is hard! Then a couple of days after that second one fell out she said she knocked her knee against the other remaining front tooth (which was already loose) and that incident loosened it even further. She said it wasn't quite ready to come out yet, though. 



On Daddy's birthday (Tuesday) Clara came home from daycare in a bit of a heap. She was running a low-grade fever and complained of her head and stomach hurting. The next morning she had a higher temp yet and so we called in the reinforcements: Grandma. Thankfully Grandma Holly hurried up here to stay with Clara so Dana and I didn't have to miss any work. She was still down and out Wednesday, but by Thursday morning her fever had broke and she was back to her silly self. Thanks again, Grandma!



Clara loves playing hair styling. Don't mind her dirty face..or the lack of clothing on Barbie. :-)




Clara was kind enough to help me with supper on Thursday. You can't really see it, but she is holding an onion slice up to her ear like a phone. She really does love to chat. Ha.




Tonight was a PTA-sponsored carnival at Brynn's school. It was so beautiful out today we all walked over from our house. Clara wanted very badly to go on the inflatables, but they were just so big for her. There were a lot kids there and Brynn was excited to chum around with her friends. She played some of the games and got her hair sprayed at the hair styling booth.





The biggest source of entertainment for the students and parents alike was this Wipe Out Games-to-Go game. It was so funny watching all the kids on it. When Clara and I caught back up with Brynn and Dana, Brynn was in line to have a go of it. We thought she did really well. I am positive I wouldn't have enough coordination for this. I was laughing so hard the video was a bit shaky.

I commented to Dana that it was more like a circus rather than a carnival. ;-)





Brynn and Dana ran on home ahead of us. Clara was trying to catch up for a bit.

More Graduations + Start of Summer

A couple of weekends ago Clara had a very busy, but fun Saturday with her friend Cora and her sister, Violet. The sisters' dad took them to the Breakfast on the Farm near Hawley (We had gone many years ago. Clara was so little, she didn't remember it.)   They also stopped at the dirt track races on their way back into town and then Dana met up with them at MSUM so they could go to the oceanarium there. We had never been before, but it was on our "Moorhead List" of fun things to do in the 56560 zip code. So, check! Out on side-by-side rides any chance we get. We parked on Sunset Road, as we've dubbed it, to watch the sun go down. There is usually one or two other cars parked on this low maintenance road whenever we venture down there. Clara into her granny hobbies. :-) We attended the last of this year's graduation parties over the weekend. I went to one in town on Friday night and then Clara and I stopped at Karlie's party near Fergus Falls on our way to Z...

Easter + April Birthdays

 The girls had Thursday, Friday and Monday off from school for the Easter break. So, Dana and I took most of the same time off (work) to match.  Always reading. 💜 Hanging out with Brynn. 💗 Dana and I went on a Costco date. We tried our hand at homemade ravioli again. I think it went a bit more smoothly compared to last time. Hubert's sister Abby stopped by for a visit. We hadn't seen her in a long time and so it was fun to have her We celebrated Dana's birthday and kicked it off with some Sandy's donuts. I don't recall what was so funny. haha. Clara's card. Birthday King Clara dyed eggs. I baked a birthday cake for Dana, messed it up getting it out of the pans, and Clara somehow cobbled it together into a masterpiece. Dana chose Lucky 13's for dinner out. On Saturday we packed up to hit up Oliver's birthday party before we went on to Dead Lake for Easter. Oliver is 9!

Fourth of July 2025

We were able to spend the Fourth at Tamarac again this year, with my sister and her family.  We arrived just in time for Brynn to change into her tennis outfit for the boat parade float. Their theme was sports this year. Clara and Oliver caught candy from the dock. This was the first Fourth of July holiday spent at my sister and Chad's own cabin on the same lake that Chad's parents have their cabin. Clara brought my mom one of her favs, Tootsie Roll. We were also celebrating Mom's freedom this holiday...from working on the Fourth! For the past how many years, Mom has had to work the Fourth of July parade back home in Carrington. However, this year as she is preparing to retire and training in her replacement, she gave the parade reins to her successor. It was great to have both Mom and Dad spend the Fourth with all of us together. It was just like old times when we all gathered at Terry and Wanda's for lunch though. I made a new recipe for dessert: red, white and blue c...
