Fall Things

On the days Clara does distance learning, she likes to make herself some pancakes, which she can mostly do on her own now. 

Clara came with me on a morning walk on Friday and came upon a gaggle (is that the correct term?) of wild turkeys and tried to chase after them a bit. (Actually, I was walking and she was biking - hence her helmet).


The girls took it upon themselves to decorate for Halloween on Friday. Photo credit goes to Clara.




Clara raked some leaves on the nice day we had on Friday.




I've been wanting to take in the Red River Market in downtown Fargo, but hadn't made it there before. It was supposed to be beautiful weather on Saturday so it seemed like a good day to go. The girls and I had also planned on visiting a pumpkin patch, so we swung by the market beforehand. Unfortunately, we weren't very quick moving and were only there for the last 15 minutes. 


Clara really enjoyed the live music.



I pointed out a Harry Potter section at this particular vendor to Brynn and she found a golden snitch watch necklace and Clara chose a crystal keychain.


After the market we made it out to the Buffalo River Pumpkin Patch near Glyndon. We hadn't been to that one before, but it was really nice.

And, they had a mini donut cart there serving them up fresh. They were so good.


My screen cracked on my phone and part of the cracks is over the front facing camera, so my selfies be lookin' wonky lately. :-/ 
























I'm so glad we took advantage of the gorgeous fall day on Saturday with the market and pumpkin patch because I think it's not going to be quite as nice this coming weekend. It sounds like the girls are planning on carving their pumpkins that they picked out though.

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
