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.

Happy 10th Birthday, Clara!

Clara made a countdown chain to her 10th birthday. We baked a red velvet cake for her family party and chocolate cupcakes for her friend party. She looks so tall in some of these pics! Izabell's boyfriend, Neil, and Clara share the same birthday, so they all went out for lunch on their actual birthday on the 2nd. And then Neil had to get a tour of the Clara Express. Dana was in charge of getting balloons for the party and I sent him to Dollar Tree which apparently doesn't fill latex balloons, only Mylar. Dana "just knew" he had gotten the 'wrong' ones, and called me in a fit of rage over it and then followed up with this photo. haha. It all worked out just fine for Clara's ninja themed parties and I was able to pick up a few more black latex balloons from Cash Wise on my way home from work. Clara had already started partying at Prairie Joy's birthday party the night before, so I think she was short on sleep. I couldn't find her when I got home on F...

Mom + Brynn Take Chicago 2024

Brynn and I were very excited to embark on our mother-daughter trip to Chicago this week. We had gifted Brynn part of the trip as her sweet 16 birthday gift. We flew direct out of Fargo on Wednesday. We stayed at the Grand Plaza apartments on State Street in a VRBO rental. We loved it there! The building had an outdoor rooftop pool, library, gaming/movie room and gym on the 9th floor. This was us looking down from our 50th floor balcony. I refused to go to the edge of the balcony. Blech. (Photo credit: Brynn on this one!) Here are a few pics of inside the apartment that I hawked off of the VRBO listing. We got our things settled and ran next door to a Jewel Osco grocery for a few things and then got ready for dinner at River Roast along the Chicago River. It was very good and beautiful weather. I think Brynn said this was her favorite place that we ate at. Our waiter Jorge brought Brynn a carrot cake when we said we were celebrating Brynn's birthday on the trip. We came back to the...

May Happenings + More Birthday Celebration + Northern Lights + Mother's Day

 S'mores on the deck... We got Brynn's team tennis pics back. They turned out great! I had to get a couple of pins and magnets. I should have taken a pic of Hubert and me spectating at one of her games last week as Hubert was sporting his pin. :-) We three girls played last week during a nice evening. Clara's class is doing an alphabet countdown to the last day of school. J was joke day. And Clara loves to share jokes with her teacher. She made her own joke book to bring. Cindy took Dad and me out to lunch for our birthdays last Thursday. It was such a fun time and Dad and I each got a cookie skillet for being the birthday kids! So delish. We went to Granite City. Always good! Dana and I went to Sartell, MN on Thursday night and arrived late. We stopped over at the after party of the groom's dinner for our friends getting married on Friday. I snagged their kitty for a snuggle. Roger and I were the photographers for the wedding which was beautiful. We had such a good tim...
