Prom, S'mores + Stars

Clara and her friend Cora were serving snacks from their 'cafe' to Hubert and Brynn after school one day. (Hopefully the fridge door wasn't open for too long. 😑) I think the cafe was something about four c's: Cora and Clara's Cafe...obviously I'm missing one of the Cs somewhere.

Brynn made another dish at Clay Your Way...and then assembled a cute and delicious-looking snack plate on it.

When we went to Hurdsfield for Oliver's birthday we were able to watch Reagan get ready for her prom and even attended the grand march. She looked so beautiful!

Girl cousins!

We adults placed a wager on how many bobby pins Chad removed from Reagan's up-do. I won with a guess of 55 or something like that. There were 45, I believe.

The girls didn't have school this past Monday, so Cora came for a sleepover on Sunday night. S'mores supplies were on sale at the grocery store so I stocked up. Cora and Clara did some stargazing (actually I think they were trying to find the moon) and made s'mores.

Brynn took the s'mores stuff over to Hubert's and they made s'mores over there too.

We had a couple really nice days this week, in between some crazy wind. Clara and I walked down to the river.

I was able to help at the last day of book club at Clara's school. They met on Thursday mornings before school for four weeks and had such a good turnout. Clara's bummed that it's over now, but I told her she should start her own now and keep it going!

They were finally able to have a couple of tennis games this week. Brynn and her partner/friend won both their matches. Yay! Off to a great start. I haven't attended yet, but hope to be able to go watch her play this next week. I think Brynn wanted to get going a little bit before anyone came to watch her. Go Lady Eagles! 🎾

Brynn's snack plate does indeed look delicious! So glad you guys could come take in the prom doings :) It looks like lots of friend fun for Clara & Cora. Sweet. I'm so glad for both a book club update and a tennis update! Congrats on your first win, Brynn!

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...
