School's Out

Last Sunday after her soccer game, Clara invited over her twin brother classmate friends. They were so sweet and well-behaved. They were only here for a little over an hour, so they had to pack in as much fun as they could.

This year's teacher inscription to Clara in her "Oh, The Places You Will Go" book.

This week Clara's class got to tie dye shirts that they all wore for their outing to the park on Wednesday.

The last day of school for the girls was this past Thursday.

First day of first grade and last day comparison for Clara:

Clara and I biked to school on the last day.


First day of eighth grade and last day comparison for Brynn. Not sure how she manages to age so much in the span of one year...every year!



Clara teacher was superb this year as well and she had a great year of first grade. She will really miss Ms. Monson. 

Brynn collected a bunch of signatures for her yearbook. They did a clap-out for the 8th graders (a good-bye to middle school as they transition on to high school), which I was not allowed to attend per Brynn. I actually don't know if any other parents go to it, but I thought it would be cool and would largely go unnoticed, but no dice. :-) She is looking forward to starting high school next year.


Clara's class yearbook that they put together...



After dinner we went for our end-of-the-school-year treat at Insomnia Cookies.


Brynn was itching to finish up at Insomnia to get over to her friend sleepover. They had a whole host of activities planned, some of which included making cupcakes, painting tennis shoes and decorating sunglasses.

Brynn is going to be home and watch Clara this week and then our nanny will start on the 6th. Clara is very excited to spend the summer with Jenine (nanny). Clara is signed up for tennis, golf, track, swimming and will be finishing up soccer in the next couple of weeks. 

Brynn is still planning to work at Culver's, continue to practice driving and get her driver's permit.

Here's to a great summer!

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...
