Before Mother's Day the girls had their check-up at the dentist. They had a fun toy section for Clara to play in while she waited for sister to get done. Most of the stuffed animals in there had a full set of teeth to which I had to chuckle at the sight of on this fish in particular.
Yay! No cavities!
The week prior to Mother's Day was Muffins for Moms at both of the girls' schools. It's always so fun to go and take part.
Clara woke up too early for us one morning so she slept for another couple of hours in our bed.
Always rough getting up.
For Teacher Appreciation week, the girls gave candy bouquets to their teachers.
Clara's Muffins for Mom. She also had made me a nice paper flower bouquet and vase gift.
Since it was my dad's birthday on the Friday before Mother's Day we spend some time at my parents'. My uncle and cousin were there for the day too, so Brynn jumped at the chance to hang out with their dog, Bits.
Happy birthday, Grandpa!
We came back from my parents' on Saturday night and spend the afternoon at Dana's parents' lake to celebrate Mother's Day with Holly.
It was a really nice day so the girls tried to catch some fish. It was kind of hot and heavy at first, but then it quieted down and they didn't really get much for bites.
The day has come! We set up Clara's big girl bed (which my dad had made for Brynn). She still has the crib in her room as well, just in case. In fact one night this past week she opted for the crib instead. Otherwise, it's going pretty well...as long as she's really tired and falls asleep right away.
Got a little sidewinder one night. ;-)
My work gave every employee a silver maple tree that we could plant. We're trying to fill in more of our tree line to the North of our house, so we were excited to receive a free tree! We had told employees to take pictures of them planting the trees so we could share on social media. My thought was that we would plant the tree together as a family. We had an ideal planting window of a couple of days upon receipt of my tree and that window was rapidly closing on us. So, Dana ran into the house the other night at 9:30 and said we were planting the tree then! Obviously the girls were already in bed and it was nearly dark, but I headed out with him anyhow and we got it planted. Correction: Dana planted it and then I made him take a picture of me next to it as if I had some part in it. :-) Hopefully it grows now!
Today Dana went to Grandpa and Grandma Oberg's farm to help with some spring clean-up there and took his four-wheeler with him. He said it was a nice day for riding. It was super windy here in Fargo. Brynn had a friend for a sleepover and they did make it outside here for a while today despite the less-than-ideal weather.
