Friends + Pumpkins

 Every other week Clara's art class has the option to gather on Zoom, so this past Thursday we logged on with a few other kids from her class. It was about as hilarious as you'd imagine watching six Kindergartners on Zoom together. Ha! At one point, one kid was upside down. Clara thought it was really fun.



This Halloween window cling summed up how I felt about our first snowfall this past weekend. It's all gone already now though.


Saturday Brynn headed to her friend's house for an overnight stay. It never fails that if one of the girls has plans with a friend, the other thinks that automatically she should be doing something with a friend also. So, Clara was lamenting about having Adria over as well. Turns out she was unavailable and Clara had been wanting her old preschool buddy, Cade, to come play for quite a while now, so we checked if he was available. Thankfully he was and seemed just as excited as Clara to come over.

Right away, he asked if we had any games and soon they came upstairs with Toilet Trouble, one of Clara's favs. I went a little overboard with the pics, but it was pretty funny watching their reactions during the game.









After that they made some creations in the Easy Bake Oven.


Buddies! 
(Cade turned six in mid-September, so they really are pretty close in age. They stood back to back so they could see who was taller, and surprisingly, Clara was just slightly so).



It was so great that Cade was finally able to come over. They did seem to have a really good time together. Cade has two older sisters, so he didn't seem to mind that we had all 'girl toys' or anything. Clara told his mom when she came to pick him up that he was a crazy boy. Ha. He was a bit more rambunctious and loud than what we're used to around here. 


This afternoon we carved the pumpkins the girls got at the pumpkin patch last weekend. Brynn went with a Harry Potter theme, to no one's surprise, and Clara went the classic jack-o-lantern route with Dad assisting with his oscillating saw.

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...
