The Bruhnette Gazette

Hello there! I'm Heather Wife.Doula.Mama This blog exists to document our two Bruhn-ettes, Emberly & Cambria. We take the good with the bad, savor the little things, soak up every sweet smile, and enjoy our time together as a little family of four.

Day 1 of no school

Spent the weekend writing up a schedule to keep my sanity while I'm working from home. It's (kind of) working. I did want to kick them out of the house between 11-12 and they whined through chores, but at least they napped. That's a miracle! Here's hoping that they stay quiet for my 3:30 conference call...

All restaurants and bars were closed today, not that we've been going out anyway. Husband still has to go to work. We've been going for long walks after dinner or riding bikes to get exercise, hopefully it doesn't come down to a full quarantine where we can't leave the house! I'll probably attempt to go to the grocery store again on Friday to see what's out there that we can stock up on.

Here's a recent picture of our clan. The girls are (almost) 8 and 5 1/2!

I realize that I haven’t posted on here in awhile... I always say that I’m going to get back into blogging, and maybe I will, but I’ve just been so busy. The truth is, I’m not ready to let this go yet because I TRULY want to record memories of my kids. I’m so happy that I blogged throughout their baby/toddler years, and I want to continue.

Anyway... I thought I would share the girls’ school pictures from this year. The left is Emberly (Kindergarten) and the right is Cambria (Preschool). Not sure what face Cam is making there but that’s part of the fun, right?

And an adorable picture of the girls in their gymnastics leotards & sunglasses... because when did they get so big?? 😎

Someone lost her first tooth at her birthday party tonight!

Overall, we had SO much fun, maybe just a little too much fun, acting like childless adults for a couple of days. But it was some much needed rest from constantly being “on” as a parents. It was so nice to get dressed up, pay attention to each other, and actually get to date my husband again. 10/10 would recommend!

We visited Club 33 in our Sunday best for a delicious lunch

These are some shots from the Dapper Day Expo at the Disneyland Hotel

There were so many neat vendors and I could have spent thousands on clothes alone! I settled for a parasol :)

So... I forgot to share something ridiculously fun that we did a couple of weeks ago... Dapper Day at Disneyland! (yes we had themed outfits for each day)

Saturday was Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl

More fun outfits that they wore over the weekend

We had a VERY busy Halloween weekend with a lot of fun events!

Trunk or Treat at the preschool

Trunk or Treat at church

Preschool costume parade

Actual trick or treating on Halloween night

The girls got to choose outfits from their dress up clothes this year and there were no complaints because Emberly wanted to be Elsa (as always) and Cam still doesn’t really “get” trick or treating.

Perfect rainy day snuggles. PJ's, a cozy blanket next to the fire, holiday milk, and a movie!
