February Things

Last weekend I was excited to learn that I had won a dinner of Marge's World Famous Hot Dish and homemade bread from the Boiler Room in Fargo, plus a 6-pack of beer from Fargo Brewing Company.


We ate the hot dish so quickly that I never even snapped a pic beforehand, so I stole one off of the Boiler Room's website. I had always wanted to try this 'famous' hot dish, and it did not disappoint! It is basically tator tot hot dish and it appeared they make their own (huge) tots as well.

Both the hot dish and the bread were very good. It really did put my own tot hot dish to shame. The girls weren't very excited about it, though.

After dinner Clara and I finally made it down to the lights tunnel outside the Hjemkomst Center in Moorhead. I had been wanting to get down there to check it out and turns out I'm glad I waited for nicer temps.

It was pretty neat!


It's not really long and thus didn't take us much time to get through it, so we decided to also walk up to the Stave Church. I thought it was beautiful; Clara said it looked haunted.


Saturday morning


Loves 💓 I'm pretty sure there is never an age when you no longer fit on your parents' lap.

Clara was trying to catch snowflakes on her tongue after she got off the school bus one afternoon.

Brynn is at her friend's (Annabelle) birthday party today. They were going to go swimming and have a slumber party. I asked her to send me some pics from the party. :-)




We've had some warmer weather now finally this past week, so things have really started to look and feel like spring (ie wet and sloppy). Clara went through one pair of snow boots and another pair of rain boots getting all wet playing outside this evening.



Always snacking. Bed lunch for this angry bird tonight was cereal.

...and truth or dare. She would ask me 'truth or dare, Mom?!' and then giggle before I could even answer. Haha.

Christmas 2025/New Years 2026

Christmas gift wrapping shenanigans: Keeping Brynn company while she wraps all of our Christmas gifts. Brynn and I couldn't help but peek at the 150 Famous Poems book we gave to Clara. So many good ones. Getting into the holiday spirit at Courts Plus. Ha! Christmas eve brunch. Clara's gingerbread house contest strategy notes. Contestants were allowed 20 minutes to shop for their houses at Wal-mart. We left ourselves little time to get ready for the 3:00 Christmas eve service at our church. But, we made it and thankfully didn't have to sit in the overflow area in the chapel! It was a beautiful service. We had bit more time in between church and when we planned to leave for Tessa's, so I mixed up my eggnog and we got the car packed. Tessa's family hosted Christmas eve at their lake home. We had a great mix of people to play a game of Mind the Gap. Getting cookies ready for Santa. Clara got Dana and me up around 7:30 and we watched her open her stocking. I think Dana a...

Halloween 2025

Happy Halloween! We did trick-or-treating at my office again and celebrated National Cat Day a couple of days late. Unicorn making magic happen! The kids and Freddy. We got a little bit of a late start around 7:30. We went to a neighborhood near the high school where several of Clara's friends live. We stopped at Micah's house to say hi and another schoolmate happened to be over as well. We got to visiting too long and by the time we headed back out, some houses either had run out of candy (including Micah's, where they went through 600 pieces his mom said) or were already done for the night. But, we still got around to several. It had just gotten done raining and the wind was cold, so I didn't care to be out too long myself. Clara asked to have another post-Halloween party this year and Brynn planned and executed the whole thing. One of our fav parts was the missing children posters which were all the guests. Green Army Man, Clara Barton, Luna Lovegood (from Harry Pott...

Clara's 11th Birthday

Clara celebrated her 11th birthday with a disco themed party with her friends and musical party with family. Happy birthday, Clara Rae! We love you! Brynn baked and decorated Clara's family party cake while Clara decorated the cupcakes she and I baked for her friend party. Dana and Clara turned the back garage into a discotheque and Clara made up a playlist for Dana to use when he was DJing.   I made her birthday baked oats the morning of her birthday. Brynn did an incredible job on the cake! After her own party, Clara was off to another one for her friend Elizabeth.  On Sunday Clara wanted to go to The Olive Garden for her birthday dinner out. They gave her a whole container of mints just for her. Ha.
