First Day of School

Brynn knew last night that we would be doing the annual obligatory photos on the front step this morning. :-) So, she kindly indulged me again. She seems so much older this year.

It wasn't Clara first day of anything and she didn't want any pics in front of the house, but she did allow me to snap one of her outside of church/preschool. We got Clara dropped off and then headed to Brynn's school.

They posted this in the preschool app today. I was surprised that Clara's fav toy is a truck, but that's a definite on her fav food. Ha. She did have a big day as she also had the share bag in which she brings a book from home to share with the class. She chose 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar."

So, Brynn totally blew me off when we got to the school! I was all ready to go in with her and take her to her classroom, just like all the other years prior. She had other plans, though, which were to meet up with one of her friends for breakfast. So, she was just going to blow right through the front doors without even so much as a hug! I was so flabbergasted, but did manage to stop her in time to grab a quick pic before she went in. I only had one shot she told me. And then I told her I did at least need a hug and then off she went. *sniffle*

I'm happy to report that she did have a great first day though.

Great pics! Everyone over here loves mac & cheese, too, Clara! So glad Brynn had a great first day and that you managed to sneak in a picture before she was off!

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...
