Sprinkles & Smiles

Last weekend Ava and I attempted to make Halloween cookies. After the cookies were baked and frosted, I thought it would be fun to let Ava help with the sprinkles. I didn't think that idea through very well...she grabbed the container of sprinkles, and proceeded to dump a ton on one cookie. Since the sprinkles were round, they scattered everywhere...out on the table, onto the floor, into the living room...everywhere! What could I do but laugh?! We cleaned it all up, and decided to leave the sprinkles to Mommy (even I managed to get some on the floor...ha!)

I have now decided that I am not the greatest cookie decorator - they looked like a 5 year old had done them! Ah, but they taste great, and really, that's all I care about! Maybe we'll take another stab at cookie decorating for Christmas - Ava really enjoys hanging out with me when I bake. Definitely good Mommy-Daughter bonding time!

Is there a cookie under all of those sprinkles?

I have so much fun dressing Ava up and I thought this little outfit was just too darn cute.

Practicing to be a scary monster...!

Ava finally decided to let us finally put the ladybug antennae and wings on her, so we might be successful in having a little ladybug on our hands for Halloween. However, she needed to make sure that Darla was cool with the idea first...

"Why me...?"

Darla the ladybug-horse!

This week we are going to carve our pumpkins and make roasted pumpkin seeds. Hopefully the pumpkins turn out better looking than the cookies...!

Exploring Local Places

Last Sunday was the perfect day to explore an area that neither Arya nor I had been to before. We headed east to walk around the Vermillion Falls/River and Greenway area. The path was nicely paved, with lots of overhead shade from trees; there were so many families out on bikes and walking, and we had a nice view of the Vermillion River. Arya got some great pics, and I enjoyed spending time outdoors with my sweet girl. This weekend, G and I will be heading out to explore a creek area in a few towns just south of us. And I've already got an idea for another creek I want to walk by next month (it's a bit further away, and I'd rather put that aside until Arya is off at college) The tree leans to find the sun On the way home, we stopped at the DQ in another town (we have a love/hate relationship with the DQ in our town, so I wanted to avoid it.) The warm weather felt great, and we enjoyed some sweet treats while watching the world drive by. We're counting down the days unti...

What a Week

The weather has been unseasonably warm this fall, so we've been able to extend our outdoor projects just a bit. This past week Scott's been working in the garden, cleaning everything out, and repairing the back wall of our garage. Ava was such a good little helper, scooping up dirt, but still trying to keep her hands clean while doing it! I swear, a box is all she needs to make her happy. Princess Darla. Princess Darla has had enough. I personally like how she and Ava have the same expressions in this picture. Apparently Spanky was bored - check out that yawn in the background! We went down to Grand Meadow this weekend, and as always, it was so fun to see Ava and Isabel play together. They actually had several little conversations with each other - and they were so polite while doing so! We even had them share a room last night...boy, that was a challenge. I think they finally fell asleep around 10:00pm. And of course, Ava wa...

All Done!

We made it! May was extra busy this year, leading up to Arya's graduation. And now that we are a week out from the chaos, I'm happy to report that we survived and are enjoying a slightly less busy pace in our days and nights. On Friday, May 29, 2026, 601 Rosemount High School seniors graduated, with the ceremony held at the University of St Thomas campus in St Paul, MN. It was a new venue for graduation this year, and it went really well. We were allowed six tickets in total, but were provided with a link for others to stream it on YouTube. We ended up parking at St. Kate's and shuttling over to St Thomas, so the parking situation was easy peasy for us. The ceremony was so well done, focusing on the triple A philosophy: academics, arts, and athletics. We are so proud of Arya, and can't wait to cheer her on in the next phase of her life! We did a pre-graduation photo shoot with a few friends from school Last day of high school! Red Pine is a special school in the distric...

Go, Go, Goers!
