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!

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...
