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.

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...
