So much snow

I think we're all officially ready for spring now! We got dumped on again this week, but first here are some other goings-on, besides snow. :-)

We had finished up with supper one night last week and Clara was trotting down the hall with her piece of bacon. I heard her fall down and she decided just to stay put and finish her bacon right there. Ha.



She'll usually come either in the middle of the night or around 6:15 into our bedroom to see if she can cuddle with us. One morning she crawled in and then fell back asleep. It took me forever to wake her up for school! Mom and dad's bed is so cozy.


Sisterly bedtime stories.


We had heard that there was going to be a super moon this past Tuesday in which the moon would be really big and bright. I had left my regular camera at my office for a work project that I was working on, so these are just with my cell phone which stinks for night time pics, but we did a good glimpse of it.


Brynn had Dana's old spotting scope out to see if she could see it better with that.


Brynn has been working on a project for school in which they were to choose a person from history to research and then present their essay by way of a wax museum. Brynn chose Sally Ride. So, they're supposed to dress up in character for this museum and give an oral presentation. We were able to find a space suit very similar to the one Sally wore up to space on her first trip. I have been learning so many fascinating things about Sally through Brynn's project. 


If anyone knows me, you might know I hate being outdoors in the winter, especially playing in the snow and all that. Last weekend I did go out with the girls to sled in our yard. Well, of course I really set a precedence for myself as they wanted me to come back out with them again this weekend. :-/ It did seem pretty warm and calm out, but it's a little bit open and thus windy on the edge of our yard, so after getting snow up our jackets, down our boots and in our faces, we had to head in. Last weekend the snow was just right for sledding, but today it was so wet and heavy that we just kept sinking down into it when we tried to walk through it.









Both of the girls like doing hair. They were playing hair shop with each other tonight. This was Brynn's creation for Clara.



Haha. This one just made me giggle because Clara took this pic of Brynn to try and capture the hairstyle she did for big sister, but didn't really and instead got me looking tired and unimpressed. In reality, though, I love to see the creative things they come up with to play.

Uncle Lester likes your sledding video and he's glad you are going outside to play, even in the snow and cold. We miss you.

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...
