November

Grandpa and Grandma Froemming came up to spend the night for an appointment they had the following day. Brynn needed new snow pants and mittens, so Grandpa tagged along with us to Scheels....and begged to ride the Ferris wheel. hehe - okay, maybe not begged, but he did go on a ride with Brynn.

Clearing snow...



The girls were delighted that nanny Jenine invited them over last Saturday to help her decorate her house for Christmas. Of course she had the best snacks for them. She is such a gem. 

Amanda and I went to a comedian at the Fargo Theatre and then out to dinner at Blackbird.


Placing notes in the holes at Blackbird.


I had wanted to check out the Christkindlmrkt downtown. It's a German Christmas bazaar. Brynn and Brooklyn were down for going with me but by the time we made it down there, it only had a half an hour left for the day. Some of it is outdoors at the Civic Center and then there are more vendors and live music and other shows inside.  It was such nice weather and then it started snowing and was so pretty.





Since we didn't have much time on Saturday night, the girls wanted to come back to check the rest out on Sunday. They were selling s'mores kits and had fire pits to roast your mallows and all. I mostly warmed myself by the fire while the girls at their Windsor Waffles inside. 

Sister loves...only a little bit forced for my 365 photo project. :-)

Ryder the Snowman!



Tonight I found myself back at Blackbird...this time with the girls so we could take in the tree lighting in Broadway Square.







It was a nice enough evening outside, but we got chilled pretty quickly and made our way home. Clara snuggled up with her book for a while.

The girls have tomorrow off of school, so I have our to-do lists ready to tackle preparations for Thanksgiving. Have a happy Thanksgiving if we won't be seeing you at our house this week. :-)

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...
