Fargo Air Museum + Goodbye, Ryann

 The girls don't have many chores to concern themselves with over here, but one job they are in charge of is unloading the dishwasher. Clara makes the most of it by turning on her tunes which are housed in my fanny pack. Haha. Dana rustled up an old iPod that we had around here for her.


Clara washed up and polished all the gem stones from the Dig It Up gem set she received for her birthday. It has a mat with it that you can match up the stones to the photos and it tells a bit about them.



The girls were thinking of what they wanted to do one afternoon this week, so Brynn called the air museum to make sure they were open and to see what their mask policy was, etc. I told her later that I was proud of her that she called and found out the info herself and how that type of thing is good to learn how to do herself. She seemed puzzled, like it was no big deal, and then said she learned how to do that from listening to me..."I just talked in a high-pitched professional voice like you do, Mom." haha. Thanks?

I had asked Brynn to take pics while they were there and she definitely delivered.They had a fun time. I have been there a few times before for different things and hadn't realized there are actually two hangars, so more to it than I had thought.



Brynn kept saying she liked these 'outfits.' AKA uniforms. :-)







It definitely feels like fall is right around the corner when I go for a morning walk. Can you spy the deer on the bottom right?

Yesterday was Ryann, our nanny's, last day with us. It was very helpful to have an extra hand this summer and especially to take the girls to their activities and to do fun things like air museum and going to the pool, library and Cherry Berry. ;-)

Dad found us girls outside on the deck last night doing our nails.

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
