Playing


Again one morning last week Clara wanted to come snuggle with us, thinking it was morning, but it was actually like 4:30 (which to me is basically the middle of the night). I am always so out of it when she comes into our room. I told her to go back to her bed, but instead she grabbed this afghan and pillow and parked herself on the floor. She slept for quite a while there; at least until after I had gotten up anyway.

Since both Brynn and Clara like doing hair so much, they decided last Saturday to open up a hair salon and do each other's hair. It was so cute.


















Apparently not impressed that I was taking pics of her.



This week was Dr. Seuss week at Clara's preschool. So, they had some fun with different dress-up days.

This one was wacky day.


This day they were supposed to wear pockets.



The girls decided to play hide-and-seek on Sunday night. Clara actually had Brynn going for some time with her hiding spot behind the curtains. It was so cute. Clara was so excited that she had found such a good hiding spot.


On Tuesday night the girls decided we should do a talent show. Dad was gone for his volunteer night at Fix It Forward Ministry and so it was just us girls.

Clara's talent was juggling...or attempting to anyhow. Not sure why she was wearing a Santa hat.



Brynn's talent was gymnastics, of course.



I'm not sure if the sound is loud enough to hear, but mine was playing the piano.

Fall Things + Dana's Hunting Trip

 Clara and I walked over to the high school for a boys' soccer game. They were pretty impressive to watch. Elise and Clara had fun raking leaves and Grandpa and Grandma's lake. Well, I know Clara had a great time for sure. I can't remember if I had posted that Dana did away with the garden and planted grass where it once was. So, Clara mowed that section. It was a perfect size for her to tackle. She might have found herself a summer job already. An amazing double rainbow! Thank you to those who donated for Clara's school walk-a-thon which took place last Monday. Dana and I were able to go watch and then joined in for some laps as well. Benny the Eagle was out there cheering the kids on too. Dana was busy making monster cookies for his annual hunting trip up north with his Dad and family friends. He kindly left some behind for us...which are long since gone now. :-) Grandma Holly came up while the guys were gone and took Clara shopping and the girls for lunch on Saturday

Thanksgiving 2023

The kids rolled out and baked sugar cookies for Thanksgiving. We finished our thankful pumpkin. I saw this in the store and given the season, it took me right back to my Grandma D's house on Thanksgiving and the bowl of walnuts she'd have on her table with the nutcracker. I wanted to buy it just for nostalgia purposes. Cora and Clara made these adorable turkey crafts at the crafternoon at the library.  On Tuesday we went downtown for the tree lighting at Broadway Square. Abby, Hubert's sister, joined us as well. She just turned 10, so she got along pretty well with Clara. They had s'mores kits so we had to toast some mallows right away. I love how Clara's marshmallow is completely ablaze and she's still posing for the photo. Hahaha. We had to visit the reindeer too. I made them do jazz hands. And then, of course, we had to hit up Blackbird afterward. Our Wednesday morning XaBeat class. We were feelin' pretty festive. The girls had Wednesday off from school,

May Day + My Birthday + Star Wars Day

Brynn put together our May Day baskets and did a fantastic job. Clara and I did the deliveries... And we received one as well with these beautiful flowers. It was from Clara's friend, Cora, and her fam. We went out to dinner as a family to celebrate my birthday on Wednesday to best accommodate schedules this week. I got to open my cards and gifts when we got home. I had picked up a slice of puppy chow cake at Sonder Bakehouse so we all shared that. Then Brynn and I went out to play a little tennis. It was a beautiful day outside. I had taken Friday (my actual birthday) off of work and Tessa came up to have brunch with me. We had Black Coffee + Waffle Bar. It was so fun. Then May did my hair as it was overdue for a cut and color. Dana and I were able to go out just us two while Brynn took Clara to her school fun night...not only that, but Brynn also volunteered to sell tickets/wristbands (I was originally going to do it) so that I didn't have to and could go out. 💜 I had a coup
