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.

A Schools Out for Summer Bike Ride

Summer was finally here and we've all got bikes once again! When the kids want crepes, you gotta make them. Theo even helped me this time. Guess we could have used a bigger table out here.  We needed to scout a spot for Meadow's birthday party. We thought today we'd take a family bike ride on Minnehaha Parkway. Meadow got a new helmet over Memorial Weekend which really completed her new bike set up. She's so cute.  We stopped at Lyndale Farmstead Bike shop to fix the grips on Theo's bike.  Good as new. Always love Minneapolis in the spring. This spot seemed like a good one.  Theo wanted a portrait too. There was rain coming so we stopped to wait it out under the Nicollet Avenue bridge. We also saw a few people canoeing and kayaking on the creek.  These guys had the same idea as us.

RV Spring Break: Savannah to Miami

Oh, hey, we made it to Savannah. Time for a nice stroll (well, as leisurely as Brooke will allow).   I was pretty excited to be going to Savannah, even if we could only stay for a few hours. The tricky thing with having an RV is finding a place to park. The Fahm Avenue parking lot had RV spots and then we walked over to the historic district. Meadow should go to the Savannah College of Art and Design. You know, if she can get a scholarship. Savannah is just as cool in person as you think. I should have done at least one house tour. I had to embarrass Meadow with taking her photo in front of the first Girl Scout Headquarters.  Brooke got me to go into the beautiful Catholic church right in the historic district. I don't think I've ever been in a Cathedral Basilica. Usually it's one or the other. It seems like every few blocks there was a perfect square. We should build all cities like this. For lunch we went to Savannah Smokehouse . We ended up getting the sampler for 2, whi...
