School's Out/Hello, Summer

We had Brynn's tennis banquet and pot luck last week Tuesday. So many people and so much food! It was all so delicious and a nice program to celebrate the tennis season.

Then, what seemed like all of a sudden, it was the end of the school year.

Brynn's last official day of class was Tuesday as Wednesday and Thursday were designated as proficiency days to finish up any extra work in your classes and as an opportunity (aka last-ditch effort) to improve your final grade. You were required to attend any classes in which you were sitting at a D or an F. I'm happy to report Brynn didn't need to attend either of the proficiency days. Way to go on a great school year, Brynn!

First day, last day pic:

Clara's last day was Thursday. Unfortunately she hasn't been feeling the best with a stomach ache for most of the week, and she was sad that the school year was ending, so I didn't get any pics of her after school.

Her teacher wrote in her book. She loved her teacher again this year and definitely will miss seeing him and her friends every day.

We were still able to go out for our end-of-school-year treat after I ran Clara to the clinic to see about her stomach (She's feeling better now finally, thankfully!). Brynn and Hubert like to frequent Tea & Crepe downtown so Brynn suggested we all go there. It did not disappoint. Dana and Clara kindly shared some of their crepes with me and they were so yummy. I'll definitely be back again. They also have the rolled ice cream there and boba teas and milks.

Clara shared her awesome drawing, titled 'Rainbow Tears,' with us.

Brynn and Hubert hanging out in Broadway Square with one of their friends this past week.

Brynn has been busy applying to different places for summer employment, so she's hoping something comes to fruition soon.

Izabell will be back with us again to spend the summer with Clara. She's signed up for a pickleball day clinic, tennis lessons again and is returning to Foss for swim class.

Brynn hosted some friends on Saturday for a summer kick-off soiree of sorts. They had a fun time visiting, painting, and playing some tennis.

Brynn put together a yummy spread, including croissanwiches.

Here's what Brynn painted at the party:

Pickleballers!

Here's to a great summer! 🌞

Oh my, I love their art! So talented! I'm glad to hear Clara's feeling better. Rough way to end the school year. Brynn's summer kickoff gathering looked so fun!

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
