Catching Up

It seems like it has been so long since I last updated the blog...well, not seems; it really has been a while! Anyhow, here's what we've been up to lately..

It was my Sunday to teach Sunday School last week. The project for the class was to create your favorite Bible story using art supplies that were provided. All the kids got so into it and were so creative. It was fun to see what stories meant the most to them and see how they brought them to 'life' through their artwork.



Brynn chose Christmas, so this her manger scene.



Brynn reading the funnies last Sunday.



We've all been left wondering these past few weeks where spring is. The girls made the most of the snow and these icicles last weekend.






All that outside play really pooped them out. (Spoiler alert: neither of them is actually sleeping in this photo.)

Clara must have done something to glean Brynn's disapproving look.


Clara has been practicing her letters a lot lately; mostly her name.



Not sure how this is even comfortable! (Yes, she is still in her crib! I'm sure sometime soon we'll make the switch to a big girl bed).



After-school/work snuggles with Daddy.


Another sleepy head.



Making muffins this morning.



Clara attended a birthday party today for one of her classmate friends. Her three watches told her it was time to party!


It was in a shop in Moorhead which rents out the Games 2 Go inflatables and games. They had it all set up in their space and kitchen and tables set up for pizza, cake and ice cream. Clara didn't want me to leave her there and Brynn tagged along since Dana is out of town. Thankfully Brynn was able to participate in the games, too....and pizza, cake and ice cream. She even scored a favor bag.



Clara was jumping up and down on that inflatable 'border/fence' on this tee ball game. Just as I was thinking I'd better head over there to warn her that she should stop as she could fall off, she tumbled backwards and hit her head on the cement. She was understandably pretty upset. I even could hear her head hit the ground and she had an immediate goose egg. Poor thing. She was regaling her tale to me later at home and told me how when she tipped over her 'feet went up to the sky.'

Fun times! Ha, love her comment about her feet going up to the sky. Brynn was pretty creative with her manger scene!

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! Photo Cred: Grandma Wanda In a shocking turn of events, most of the kids ended up in ...

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...
