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!

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...
