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.

More Graduations + Start of Summer

A couple of weekends ago Clara had a very busy, but fun Saturday with her friend Cora and her sister, Violet. The sisters' dad took them to the Breakfast on the Farm near Hawley (We had gone many years ago. Clara was so little, she didn't remember it.)   They also stopped at the dirt track races on their way back into town and then Dana met up with them at MSUM so they could go to the oceanarium there. We had never been before, but it was on our "Moorhead List" of fun things to do in the 56560 zip code. So, check! Out on side-by-side rides any chance we get. We parked on Sunset Road, as we've dubbed it, to watch the sun go down. There is usually one or two other cars parked on this low maintenance road whenever we venture down there. Clara into her granny hobbies. :-) We attended the last of this year's graduation parties over the weekend. I went to one in town on Friday night and then Clara and I stopped at Karlie's party near Fergus Falls on our way to Z...

Easter + April Birthdays

 The girls had Thursday, Friday and Monday off from school for the Easter break. So, Dana and I took most of the same time off (work) to match.  Always reading. 💜 Hanging out with Brynn. 💗 Dana and I went on a Costco date. We tried our hand at homemade ravioli again. I think it went a bit more smoothly compared to last time. Hubert's sister Abby stopped by for a visit. We hadn't seen her in a long time and so it was fun to have her We celebrated Dana's birthday and kicked it off with some Sandy's donuts. I don't recall what was so funny. haha. Clara's card. Birthday King Clara dyed eggs. I baked a birthday cake for Dana, messed it up getting it out of the pans, and Clara somehow cobbled it together into a masterpiece. Dana chose Lucky 13's for dinner out. On Saturday we packed up to hit up Oliver's birthday party before we went on to Dead Lake for Easter. Oliver is 9!

January + Valentine's Day + CATS!

We ARE still alive over here and have not frozen to death. Here's what we've been up to for the past month and a half! Brynn and Hubert at the OG (Olive Garden): 'Lady and the Tramp' style. haha. Taking in a Force game...with extra fighting. It was very exciting. One Sunday when Clara was at a sleepover, the three of us went to Black Coffee Waffle Bar after church and then for some crepes and boba at Tea & Crepe. Then Brynn and I went prom dress shopping which was really fun. She did find a dress she loves so that was a relief. This is not the one she chose, but she tried on quite a few nice ones. Clara made crowns for the king and I (me). Clara had to write an essay to be considered for the robotics team at school. She waited for at least a couple of weeks to learn if she was accepted, and unfortunately was not. She was pretty disappointed, but she does have a chance to reapply next year when she's a fifth grader, and won't have to write another essay. I th...
