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.

Happy 10th Birthday, Clara!

Clara made a countdown chain to her 10th birthday. We baked a red velvet cake for her family party and chocolate cupcakes for her friend party. She looks so tall in some of these pics! Izabell's boyfriend, Neil, and Clara share the same birthday, so they all went out for lunch on their actual birthday on the 2nd. And then Neil had to get a tour of the Clara Express. Dana was in charge of getting balloons for the party and I sent him to Dollar Tree which apparently doesn't fill latex balloons, only Mylar. Dana "just knew" he had gotten the 'wrong' ones, and called me in a fit of rage over it and then followed up with this photo. haha. It all worked out just fine for Clara's ninja themed parties and I was able to pick up a few more black latex balloons from Cash Wise on my way home from work. Clara had already started partying at Prairie Joy's birthday party the night before, so I think she was short on sleep. I couldn't find her when I got home on F...

Mom + Brynn Take Chicago 2024

Brynn and I were very excited to embark on our mother-daughter trip to Chicago this week. We had gifted Brynn part of the trip as her sweet 16 birthday gift. We flew direct out of Fargo on Wednesday. We stayed at the Grand Plaza apartments on State Street in a VRBO rental. We loved it there! The building had an outdoor rooftop pool, library, gaming/movie room and gym on the 9th floor. This was us looking down from our 50th floor balcony. I refused to go to the edge of the balcony. Blech. (Photo credit: Brynn on this one!) Here are a few pics of inside the apartment that I hawked off of the VRBO listing. We got our things settled and ran next door to a Jewel Osco grocery for a few things and then got ready for dinner at River Roast along the Chicago River. It was very good and beautiful weather. I think Brynn said this was her favorite place that we ate at. Our waiter Jorge brought Brynn a carrot cake when we said we were celebrating Brynn's birthday on the trip. We came back to the...

May Happenings + More Birthday Celebration + Northern Lights + Mother's Day

 S'mores on the deck... We got Brynn's team tennis pics back. They turned out great! I had to get a couple of pins and magnets. I should have taken a pic of Hubert and me spectating at one of her games last week as Hubert was sporting his pin. :-) We three girls played last week during a nice evening. Clara's class is doing an alphabet countdown to the last day of school. J was joke day. And Clara loves to share jokes with her teacher. She made her own joke book to bring. Cindy took Dad and me out to lunch for our birthdays last Thursday. It was such a fun time and Dad and I each got a cookie skillet for being the birthday kids! So delish. We went to Granite City. Always good! Dana and I went to Sartell, MN on Thursday night and arrived late. We stopped over at the after party of the groom's dinner for our friends getting married on Friday. I snagged their kitty for a snuggle. Roger and I were the photographers for the wedding which was beautiful. We had such a good tim...
