In Between

After we got home (early) from our Dead Lake vacation, Brynn planned movie night on Friday night and Family Game Night on Saturday night.






 Earlier on Saturday we headed out to Wal-Mart to pick up supplies to make our own slime. :-/ At this point, that still seemed like a good idea. Ha.






Unfortunately, on Saturday I had also learned that my uncle (my mom's brother) had unexpectedly passed away. I went home to be with my mom and grandma and everyone for the day on Sunday and then we had Dana's parents take Clara while the three of us went back on Monday and Tuesday for the prayer service and funeral. It was nice to see our cousins; we just wish it could have been for longer and under better circumstances. My uncle Randy will be greatly missed.



I was able to finally get some pics of Brynn at gymnastics, though this was a little while back now. It's harder to get pics here than it used to be as they've really redesigned the whole set-up. Parents much watch their kids from behind glass now...which you can probably see a bit of a reflection in the below pic. Brynn is still loving both gymnastics and swimming lessons. (She is the first one in line here.)



Speaking of swimming lessons. Clara is a squirrely girly and put herself inside this locker while we were waiting for Brynn to get dressed after her swimming lesson last week.



Clara decided to make herself a 'happy stamp,' which we discerned she receives from her teachers at Hope if she does something good. She had done her "no. 2" business on the potty and not in her pants, like usual, so that to her warranted a happy stamp. I couldn't argue with that.

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
