Spring Break

We love to make homemade pizza around here.
 

Brynn got these cool glasses to look at different light sources with at school.



On Tuesday Dana started the drive to Wyoming with his uncles and cousin for a snowmobiling trip. Sounds like it was a fun time!




Meanwhile, at first chance once the snow started melting around here, the girls and I dug out our bikes.

On Wednesday night we didn't have time to set a leprechaun trap, so unfortunately he was up to some shenanigans around the house and dyed our milk green! Clara was pretty surprised and was a bit skeeved out by the green milk. I had to use it up, though, so we've been having some unusually green foods this past week. Ha.


The girls had Thursday and Friday off of school for spring break, so I took both days off work as well. We didn't really have too much planned. Clara wanted to do some baking, so we started out with muffins and scones.


Brynn had plans for a sleepover with her friends.

Clara really had in her head this vision of a huge bunny she wanted to make out of cardboard. So, we worked on that together in the afternoon.

Clara and I went out to snow mountain on Thursday night for what is probably the last time now that we've had a lot of melting this past week. We didn't get out very early, so we didn't end up coming in and eating dinner until almost 8:00.





Our neighbor, Barb, dropped off a St. Patrick's Day cookie decorating kit from Jen's Bakery. So good!

One thing the girls had wanted to do over spring break was check out the new arcade, bowling alley, laser tag, escape room place, Kingpinz. We had planned to do that on Friday, but by the time Brynn got home from her sleepover, she was pretty tired so she opted to stay home and rest.

Clara has been wanting to try and escape room and so we chose the easiest one that gave us a 30-minute time limit to complete. We failed miserably. I don't care for escape rooms myself and now that Clara tried one, I think she's moved on from them.

Next she wanted to play some games in the arcade, so we did that for a bit before she chose a small prize with the points she had racked up and we got out of there. It was sensory overload for me (and I already had a headache going in), so I had to lie down for a rest once we got home. :-/ 






It was a super nice day on Friday, though still a bit chilly. Clara set us up for dinner out on the deck, but unfortunately we didn't last too long out there.

We did go on a nature scavenger hunt after dinner and checked more items off our list than we thought. Clara was surprised to have found a feather; I can't remember what else we saw that she didn't think we would.


I love this pic of the girls that I snapped for my photo of the day (for my 365 challenge), so I had to cross post it over here too. 💜💜

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...
