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!

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...
