Halloween Preview 2020

 I saw this guy rotting in DQ the other day. 


The secondary grades take their school pictures early for their school IDs. Clara's pictures will be next week. Brynnie looks so old! I always think her pictures turn out well, but she was pretty pleased with how they turned out this year especially.



Clara does some school work on her iPad while in-person at school as well as submitting assignments via their classroom app while distance learning at home. I noticed this video pop up in the app earlier this past week when Clara was in school. It's kind of hard to hear some of it with a lot of background noise, but it's worth it to make it to the end. :-) So precious. 

If you couldn't make out what she said at the end, it was "I'm special because I'm made from Jesus." 💓


I spent Friday down south in Frederick, SD again...where I first went to take drone video and pictures of one of our growers two years ago. I was excited to go back to see the fam again. They were doing black bean harvest right now.



Meanwhile, Holly came up to spend the weekend with us girls while Dana went back up North again to help cut woods at their family friends' cabin and ride four wheeler.

Holly took the girls to a couple of garage sales and Brynn added to her scrunchie collection.


Pancakes for brunch on Saturday.


Since it was pretty rainy all day on Saturday, they set up with sewing most of the day.


I thought we were going to try and do Halloween pictures outside of our yard somewhere nearby with some more fall foliage trees, but the girls decided at the first break of the clouds and the sun peaked out this afternoon that they were ready to do them right then! So, I figured I'd better just get while the gettin's good.

Clara is Wonder Woman this year!






Brynn is the Grim Reaper. It turned out great!








Yay! Can't wait for Halloween!

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
