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...

Fourth of July 2025

We were able to spend the Fourth at Tamarac again this year, with my sister and her family.  We arrived just in time for Brynn to change into her tennis outfit for the boat parade float. Their theme was sports this year. Clara and Oliver caught candy from the dock. This was the first Fourth of July holiday spent at my sister and Chad's own cabin on the same lake that Chad's parents have their cabin. Clara brought my mom one of her favs, Tootsie Roll. We were also celebrating Mom's freedom this holiday...from working on the Fourth! For the past how many years, Mom has had to work the Fourth of July parade back home in Carrington. However, this year as she is preparing to retire and training in her replacement, she gave the parade reins to her successor. It was great to have both Mom and Dad spend the Fourth with all of us together. It was just like old times when we all gathered at Terry and Wanda's for lunch though. I made a new recipe for dessert: red, white and blue c...

Christmas 2025/New Years 2026

Christmas gift wrapping shenanigans: Keeping Brynn company while she wraps all of our Christmas gifts. Brynn and I couldn't help but peek at the 150 Famous Poems book we gave to Clara. So many good ones. Getting into the holiday spirit at Courts Plus. Ha! Christmas eve brunch. Clara's gingerbread house contest strategy notes. Contestants were allowed 20 minutes to shop for their houses at Wal-mart. We left ourselves little time to get ready for the 3:00 Christmas eve service at our church. But, we made it and thankfully didn't have to sit in the overflow area in the chapel! It was a beautiful service. We had bit more time in between church and when we planned to leave for Tessa's, so I mixed up my eggnog and we got the car packed. Tessa's family hosted Christmas eve at their lake home. We had a great mix of people to play a game of Mind the Gap. Getting cookies ready for Santa. Clara got Dana and me up around 7:30 and we watched her open her stocking. I think Dana a...
