Family Fun Night

Well, I'm a little behind in updating the blog, though we haven't been up to too much lately...


Clara is usually down for doing my mile walk with me, but then gets tired out right away and has to take a bit of a rest. Ha.



Brynn loves re-purposing things to make organizers or art or what have you. Clara had requested an organizer for her hair accessories and make-up, so Brynn fashioned one up for her.


Last weekend the girls and I stayed at my parents on Friday night and then headed to Hurdsfield for the Family Fun Night at the community center. This year Tessa's mother-in-law asked Brynn to help with one of the kids' activities so she was pretty excited about that.

Clara was eating most of the time. :-)


Elise was running the caramel apple table. There were so many yummy toppings. She did a great job!


Clara eating again. :-)

Brynn, Reagan and Reagan's friend Madison were trying to maintain order over at the bouncy castle.



After a bit Brynn came to join Elise and the apples.

Wanda gave the girls awesome gifts for helping plus all the kids received prizes to take home.

I put half my raffle tickets in for a LEGO set for Brynn and Clara and I wanted cookies for a year! So, I used the rest of my tickets on that and I won it! I am so stoked. It came with a cookie jar which was already filled with pumpkin cookies that had a brown butter frosting. They were fantastic. I am looking forward to the rest of the months' cookies, though I may have to pay off my sister with some of them to get them to me.


I had to show Brynn this graphic that popped up on my Instagram one day. She identifies as the Gryffindor house, so of course she was disappointed that South Fargo was Hufflepuff. (From Harry Potter. :-))

One of our growers from work brought us homemade bread this week. It was so good!

The girls are off at Grandpa and Grandma Froemming's this weekend. Grandma Holly sent me some pics of what they were up to today.


Meanwhile, I rang the Salvation Army bell by my lonesome this year at the Cash Wise near my house. Last year, though, the girls pooped out on me pretty early on, so just as well that I was ringing solo this year, I guess.

Yum, that bread looks delish! So glad you guys came for the big Family Fun Night :) I actually forgot all about your cookie win - we'll have to keep in touch. Oh man, that's so funny about the HP houses thing as we were just talking about Harry Potter tonight and the kids wanted to know what house Chad & I identify with (as I have not seen the movies or read much from the books, I had no idea really what was going on). It turns out I am Hufflepuff I guess, with Ravenclaw as a close second. Chad was Slytherin. Ben is Gryffindor, Reagan is a fellow Hufflepuff and Elise is Ravenclaw, according to their quizzes. Jury's out on Ollie.

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...

Halloween 2025

Happy Halloween! We did trick-or-treating at my office again and celebrated National Cat Day a couple of days late. Unicorn making magic happen! The kids and Freddy. We got a little bit of a late start around 7:30. We went to a neighborhood near the high school where several of Clara's friends live. We stopped at Micah's house to say hi and another schoolmate happened to be over as well. We got to visiting too long and by the time we headed back out, some houses either had run out of candy (including Micah's, where they went through 600 pieces his mom said) or were already done for the night. But, we still got around to several. It had just gotten done raining and the wind was cold, so I didn't care to be out too long myself. Clara asked to have another post-Halloween party this year and Brynn planned and executed the whole thing. One of our fav parts was the missing children posters which were all the guests. Green Army Man, Clara Barton, Luna Lovegood (from Harry Pott...

September

When Brynn was in 8th grade, their class wrote letters to themselves that they would open once they were seniors. School staff must have sent them right to the high school for safe keeping because a few weeks ago, Brynn got hers back and read through it.    I had perfect weather for visiting a grower with my drone for work last month. Clara spent a night at Grandpa and Grandma Dietz's and did all sorts of activities. Family walk! Brynn ran into this bunch shopping at the mall. 😄 I was so tickled to get this pic from auntie - as much as Brynn was to bump into them. This nomad cat has been showing up around our cul-de-sac, but he does not like me, unfortunately. :-( His tag even says that he's not lost, he just likes to roam. Ha. (I only know that because he actually let our neighbor catch him.) Clara and I have been going to some Davies football games while it's been so nice out. Brynn has been accepted at both NDSU and UND. Yay! We visit UND next Friday, so it will be inte...
