Sunday February 20, 2011

They've been saying for days we were going to have snowstorm today. I wake up to this. Cloudy but no snow yet.

As usual I get up before Scott.

Sunday's are Pick-On-Peanut days.

I start making breakfast.

While it bakes in the oven I get dressed.

It has started snowing so I figure its a sweater kind of day.

Mmm pannekoeken or BIG PANCAKE.

This is Scott's "why do you always have to take pictures of me face"

Because I say, I'm the only one taking pictures"

We have things to do snow or no snow. We stop at Theodore Wirth to look at a possible wedding venue.

We like what we see.

Then we go to our favorite antique store Hunt and Gather. Everything is 20% off this weekend. We find a few things to spruce up our house.

Since we were close by we go grocery shopping at the new Linden Hills Coop. Not to sound snobbish but we were disappointed with the stores lack of local items. The bulk section didn't have any noodles either. We probably won't be shopping here again.

I get the job of clearing snow off the car.

We bought a new chair for our living room at Hunt and Gather.

We have a late lunch. Leftovers from Crescent Moon, goat cheese on an epi baguette and a mandarin.

We decide to do more wedding planning. We looked up prices and caterers.

Scott then braves the blowing snow to go to CVS down the block.

He comes back and says "I hate those shades you can't see outside." And walks over and takes them down.

I work on the centerpieces.

while Scott does lazy man dishes.

Then we both watch TV. Me on my computer and him on the TV.

Then I receive a very exciting text message!

Scott prepares dinner: Spinach Cannelloni.

Lots of spinach in our dinner again.

We have dinner late. Because we're cheap and like to save on electricity we eat our dinners in candlelight.

Good Night.

Meadow goes back to school Brooke's Always Productive Vol. 978

Meadow had her first day of school on Wednesday. Of course it also happens to be below zero. Along with Meadow going back to school and needing masks, I also made her some headbands and attached buttons to hold the straps. Perfect so her little ears don't get hurt. The kids requested Chocolate Rye Pancakes for this Valentine's breakfast. So sweet. In two ways. I guess Brooke got Meadow a Valentine's shirt. Nope, I got her the fleece lined leggings with hearts on the knees. She already had the shirt. Mmmm...the kids' favorite. You know it's cold outside when you can't see out the window. Meadow was up to her crafty self and made Theo a batman mask. She made a wrong cut and patched it up otherwise it looks awesome. I made Brooke some peanut butter-peanut butter cup-chocolate ice cream for Valentine's day. It was delicious. When you live in a small place your bedroom becomes your sewing room. I also prefer sewing standing up. I'm not sure if she's

Theo @ 3 Years

Our little love Theodore. He's not afraid to show his emotions and has a kind heart. He's the best hugger you've ever met. He is 3'1" tall and weighs 30 lbs. He loves being outside, building things, helping us cook, playing video games, super heroes, his baby and blanket. He loves to pretend to be Link and Batman and Lightning McQueen is his jam. In the last year he's become a Papa's boy. I love the little runt. Most of the time. He still looks up to Meadow and loves everything she likes. At least when Meadow's not picking on him. He's gotten pickier with eating. Loves breakfast but not a fan of dinner. But he'll still try something when asked. Meadow is his guide and he'll basically eat what she eats. He's really picked up talking in the last year to full sentences and stories. He has a little bit of a stutter. Think it runs from Meadow to Theo. It's so much fun talking to my little guy. He hates getting his diaper changed and also

Sand Dunes State Forest

Out of the blue we decided we needed to go camping. Being only a few days after the fourth we decided to head to a state forest. Most state parks are booked this time of year, so the forests are good alternative. On the way I got really hungry. We found a Culver's and ordered a small feast. Of course I got a blueberry malt and a bacon butterburger. The best of all malt flavors. Brooke and I shared cheese curds since she already ate leftovers.
