Busy Bee

Scott decided to sleep in today so I made my own breakfast and left him to making his own. 

He eats quickly before heading off to work for the day. 

While he was at work I decided to do a million things. I'm not one to sit still. Even when I'm "relaxing" I'm still doing something else like knitting. I could never have an office job or something that had me stay in the same place.

So today I made granola, anadama bread, cleaned out the fridge, made gaucamole, took a break for lunch, washed all our light fixtures, cleaned the bathrooms, vacuumed and washed the floors and made butter.

Oh and I made dinner. Chicken tikka masala. I did however forget to make naan. 

  The first thing Scott says when he comes home is, "Holy dishes Batman!"

 
Then Scott is left to all the dishes while I get to relax knit. 

We end the night early with reading in bed.

So tell me again how you make your oatmeal. I bought some old fashioned oats at the store and now what? 

HA!! “Holy dishes Batman”.

What are you reading?

P.S. I have to say, it's so fun commenting now that I know where everything is!!! :)

Amanda--Just follow the directions on your oatmeal container. I do 1 3/4 cup water to 1 cup oats.

At the time of this post I was reading, What Einstein Told His Cook 2. It's about the science behind food.

A Schools Out for Summer Bike Ride

By
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

By
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...

Mr. Mike's 70th Birthday Weekend at the Cottage

By
Scott's shoot got cancelled so we decided to take another trip to the cottage.  We stopped for pizza again on the way, this time at Stone Oven Pizzeria in Cameron. We've always wanted to stop by. We went with the thin crust, which was good enough, but next we'll have to get their thick cut slices. When we arrived we were surprised to find that my dad had started on the upstairs addition. I wasn't convinced that his makeshift walls were going to keep animals out.  As far as we know they never did. Meadow always be crafting. I love watching my dad work. I just can't understand how his brain works and how he knows what to do. He's a genius of real world geometry. I can fix things around the house, but building a whole addition? No way. I might have sneaked a couple of pics from openings along the roof. This space ended up being way bigger than I thought it would. Who knew just raising the roof line could create so much extra space? It'll be nice having another...
