Memorial Weekend

Clara wanted to make this bacon and egg cup for a second breakfast one morning. It was pretty easy and quick in the microwave. She's gotten really good at making her own scrambled eggs on the stove top and I think she realized that is the preferred method of cooking eggs. :-)


Clara had ordered this kit with her own money and couldn't wait for it to arrive in the mail so she could try it out.

Big sister helped and they've made quite a few matches of bath bombs already. It was nice that it came with enough supplies to do quite a few.




Brynn sent me this pic she had taken of the two of them with her phone. 💓💓

Brynn and I rode bike down to the orchard and took a path that goes along the river.



Dad got in on making bath bombs too. :-)


Clara asked me to take a picture of her tiered 'cake.' Looks delish.

Both girls love to swing. Especially since our city park playgrounds were closed until just recently, I was all the more grateful for our own backyard swing set. Plus, it's so convenient that they can just run out, barefoot, and swing to their heart's content anytime they want.







They call this the 'banana.'



On Saturday we spent the day at Grandpa and Grandma Froemming's lake and were able to check out all the updates they've done to the new cabin. It looks amazing.


 


The water was still pretty chilly...except by Clara's standards.



Of course we had to do s'mores!









Dana was happy to finally get a hair cut.




On Monday Brynn helped plant some trees around our landscaping.

That only lasted so long before she created a backyard obstacle course for us girls.



My parents stopped by for a visit on their way back from the lake on Monday. We corralled them into a game of baseball.


Bed lunch as my grandpa would call it. :-)


We finally put out Clara's bird feeders she and Brynn made. It's been a bit windy most days which caused all the seed to blow away. :-( We refilled, but haven't seen any birds perch on them yet, unfortunately.



Brynn ended up putting a plate of seed down under the deck and we noticed a blackbird happily partaking in her buffet.

Brynn made a dress-up store and was helping outfit Clara.


Lookin' good!


Making bracelets.

Reading a bedtime story to giraffe.

Beautiful sunset tonight.

I'll do a separate post for Brynn's last days of school and our start to summer. Cheers to summer vacay!

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...
