School + Labor Day Weekend + Stuff

Brynn's HS did a senior sunrise at 6:00 AM a few days after school started. I think there was only one guy there, so mostly girls....taking pictures and what not. They took a group shot of all the girls who were there. Brynn is fifth in from the right on the bottom/front row, kneeling.

Clara and I walked over for the first HS home game last Friday night.

Clara procured us some snacks and scored some free popcorn in the process.

We celebrated Mom's birthday over labor day weekend with our usual fish fry.

It was a team effort in lighting the candles.

Happy birthday, Mom!

The after party crew playing Nertz.

It was very foggy last Sunday morning. I went out into it for a walk and could just feel the moisture on me.

Brynn seemed pretty set on attending UND after she graduates this next spring, but asked to visit NDSU to check out another option. Her friend Manasseh is currently attending there as a biochem major. He was just finishing up his classes for the day when we were arriving to meet with a psychology professor and do our tour. So, he tagged along with us.

It was very helpful to meet with the psychology professor as that is what Brynn is considering majoring in. Brynn was pretty pleased with the tour and the info we got. We also have a tour scheduled for UND in October, so we'll see how she's feeling after that.

After we got back home from NDSU on Friday, Clara and I mixed up some chocolate chip cookies and we made homemade pizza for dinner.

Clara started tennis lessons for the fall session at Courts Plus again.

Dana went to a swap meet with his friend Chris on Saturday, so the girls and I went out on the town for dinner at Pounds.

Chris sent me this pic of Dana near the chainsaws. I fully expected Dana to return with all of those shown, but I think he just bought one. :-)

We have a new c-store that went up just own the street so Clara and I walked down and picked up some snacks for a movie. The guy who rang us up pegged us immediately as he asked "are you guys having a movie night?" Ha.

Clara finished 'Are you there, God? It's me, Margaret." on audio book so she wanted to watch the movie. It's so good. I had read the book as a child as well and then Brynn and I saw the movie in the theater with my sister and niece and when it was first released.

Manasseh and Brynn twinning today.

Adria came over to play this afternoon.

Oh I love it! Such an exciting time for Brynn as she figures out where she might want to go next year! Plus all the senior things! I love the picture of Dana with the chainsaws, haha :)

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...
