Labor Day Weekend 2019

Before I launch into Labor Day weekend update, here are a few happenings from last weekend.

The girls love to put forts together...cleaning them up, though? Not so much.

Princess Frozen Clara :-D

We had our friends the Petersens over for dinner last Saturday night. Karlie and Brynn were having fun doing Just Dance on the Wii. Dana came in to challenge Karlie, but Karlie smoked him. :-) I think Dana had gotten a bit rusty on his moves.

Hope posted this pic in the app last week of Clara 'playing school' with her best buddy, Cade.

We all got together on Saturday at my parents' lake to celebrate my mom's birthday (which is actually today!). My cousin Tammy came to surprise her with her granddaughter. So much fun.

The BFF Shimmer Club was reunited!

Clara had a bad run-in with a leech that had attached itself onto her foot. The BFF Shimmer Club members came together with cards and 'get well' sentiments. So sweet.

Happy Birthday, Grandma!

Grandpa's lawn tractor and trailer sure got a work out hauling around all the grandkids.

PJ Cousins!

Tammy and Brianna had to head back early as Tammy had to work the next day. I noticed Brianna had texted this to Brynn after they had left. 💓

Fun with boxes...

We spent the night in Lake Park and then went over to Dead Lake for the day on Sunday.

Well, it turned out to be just a day visit for me. I came back home while the rest stayed to help with cabin reno. Looks like the girls were put to work this morning. haha! I laughed so hard at this picture.

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
