May 4th + Brynn Haircut

Brynn had decided that she wanted to get curtain bangs, so Dad booked an appointment with his stylist for Brynn... coincidentally May (the stylist) is in my morning XaBeat (dance class) group ...which is how Dana got to know her. And she is originally from Fergus, but quite a bit younger than Dana and me, so Dana didn't know her from school or anything.

Anyhow, she did a great job guiding Brynn to how she should layer the rest of her hair so that it would look nice with the bangs, etc. 




It turned out great! She was really happy with it.


Classic teen pose. ;-)

 

The next day was May 4th aka Star Wars Day: May the Fourth be With You! The Fargo Theater was showing the original 'Star Wars' movie on the 4th. Clara is a big Star Wars fan, so Dad took her out on the town to catch the movie. But before that they hit up Clara's fav, Blackbird, for some pizza and then Dad introduced Clara to Insomnia Cookies. They had a great time, though it got to be a pretty late night as the movie didn't start until 7:30 and they didn't even stay to finish the whole thing.






On Friday Tessa came to stay the night with the boys so she could go to Reagan's softball tournament. 

We had a busy Saturday which Clara and Oliver kicked off ahead of everyone else with a very early morning start to the day.

Uncle Dana helped Ben with his 4-H project before heading to Clara's first spring soccer game of the season. It was so miserably windy, my brain wasn't working properly and I never even got any pictures. I would have had to have been super quick, though, as Clara played for a bit before she took a tumble, got embarrassed and sat out the rest of the game, playing a side game with another boy and Oliver.

We hung out at our house in the afternoon until it was time for Clara's second soccer game and Reagan's last game of the day which Brynn, the boys and I went to watch.

I don't know how they did it in the horrendous wind! Ugh, it was so crazy, but fun to watch the team!

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
