Pumpkin Patch

Last Monday it was a gorgeous day and Brynn had been wanting to check out the cemetery across the road from our house. So, we headed over there since it was such a nice day.







We were excited to have Auntie Tessa and the cousins come visit this past weekend, though I managed to get through the whole weekend without taking photos. Geez. They kids had a fun time, of course, and it was great to have them.

On Sunday the girls got out Brynn's Easy Bake Oven to try and make some treats. It was pretty sketchy, though, as Brynn had misplaced the baking pan that is supposed to be used with the oven. I didn't end up trying any of their treats, but I think Dana did.








We still hadn't visited any pumpkin patches this year, so on Sunday afternoon after Clara's non-nap we headed out by Davenport to the Rusty K Ranch. They had so much stuff to do there. It was a great set-up, but I wanted to leave about 15 minutes in because I thought it was cold. With no nap from Clara, she had a few meltdowns by the time we left and said on the way home that she didn't have fun. She must have had high hopes going out there, though, because she told me she was excited and her face was happy. Brynn said she had a good time.









It was very windy, obviously...








Brynn was super excited to ride a pony.




The girls found the resident cat wandering around and harassed him for a bit. I wanted to bring him home, of course.













This was my fav part! I was able to warm up by this fire while the girls were riding the barrel train.



Of course these Froemming girls *had* to do the shootout game.



Time to get our pumpkins and endure the final meltdowns from Clara! :-)









When dropping Brynn off for school this morning we were greeted by Centennial's principal on the rooftop! He had promised the students that if they reached their fundraising goal he would move his office to the roof of the school for the day. So, you can see a table up there with him which is supposed to be his desk, I guess. Haha. I get such a kick out of him. I felt bad for him as today was horrendously windy.



Brynn taught us how to play the card game Garbage tonight.



Story time.

Looks like fun! Darn cold and wind. Clara looked really excited to pick out a pumpkin. Those Easy Bake Oven creations always sound like a better idea than they actually turn out to be. :/ We had a great weekend with you guys!

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...
