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.

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!

January + Valentine's Day + CATS!

We ARE still alive over here and have not frozen to death. Here's what we've been up to for the past month and a half! Brynn and Hubert at the OG (Olive Garden): 'Lady and the Tramp' style. haha. Taking in a Force game...with extra fighting. It was very exciting. One Sunday when Clara was at a sleepover, the three of us went to Black Coffee Waffle Bar after church and then for some crepes and boba at Tea & Crepe. Then Brynn and I went prom dress shopping which was really fun. She did find a dress she loves so that was a relief. This is not the one she chose, but she tried on quite a few nice ones. Clara made crowns for the king and I (me). Clara had to write an essay to be considered for the robotics team at school. She waited for at least a couple of weeks to learn if she was accepted, and unfortunately was not. She was pretty disappointed, but she does have a chance to reapply next year when she's a fifth grader, and won't have to write another essay. I th...
