Teacher Appreciation & Mother's Day

A couple of weeks ago for Teacher Appreciation week we took gifts to the girls' teachers. Brynn gave her teacher a Harry Potter water bottle as she is a fellow Potter Head. I didn't get a picture of her with it, though. Clara did a candy bouquet again which works out nicely because she has several different teachers. 




She was just ecstatic to give it to her teachers.





Last week I was treated to two Muffins with Moms with the first at Brynn's school and with what was the last for Brynn since I suppose they don't do it in middle school. Bummer!




A couple days later I had round two at Clara's school. She wanted us to be matching that day too. :-)


She made lots of sweet crafts for me.


She really put me on blast knowing my real age. ;-) They must have done this right before my birthday. There, I just outed myself now. Ha. 

 

On Saturday we went to Grandpa and Grandma Dietz's lake place to "help" with their garage sale. I feel like I didn't really do anything but hang out, so I had a good time. Brynn was checking out some of Grandpa's sale wares.



We had baked cookies on Friday night and Brynn made banana bread to sell. She did pretty well!



Since it was my dad's birthday on Saturday and Mother's Day the next day, we went out for dinner in Hawley and Brynn got to ride in Grandm'a Vette.




Brynn stayed the night at Grandpa and Grandma's and the rest of us drove back home.



We attended a very nice Mother's Day service at church and then came back home and the fam made me brunch.


Yum! It was all so good.



After we got some things cleaned up at home, we headed to Dead Lake to see Dana's mom for Mother's Day. It was a nice day for the most part, but with a breeze and the sun coming and going, we couldn't decide if we were warm or cold. 

No bother for Clara, though. She got her feet wet and accidentally her behind too. Brrr!





We were able to spend some time with Grandpa Don and Granny Annie, too, as they drove up for the afternoon as well.



We ran out of time for me to open my gifts on Sunday, so we did it this week. I got a nice neck pillow for when I am snoozing while traveling and a pair of sandals that I wanted. I love the cat card, of course!

It was a wonderful entire weekend. We are so grateful for the mothers in our lives. And to my mom for preparing me for my own motherhood journey by starting me out reading up on the subject at a young age. ;-)

Haha, yes that last picture is great. I love Brynn's yellow sweater! That is a great picture of she and mom and dad at the rummage sale. So cute that Clara wanted you guys to match at muffins for moms :)

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...
