Home, Work, Baby

Now that Meadow doesn't get up quite as often at night I'm not starving when I wake up. I'm okay with making breakfast for the sleepy bears. 

 Scott was still trying to sneak in a few more minutes of sleep and Meadow was ready to get out of bed.

 The cutest alarm clock that money can't buy.

 I made apple smiley and heart shaped pancakes with strawberries. 

 Meadow joined us for breakfast.

She's sitting in her Bumbo. So, no. She isn't some kind of super baby.

 Meadow wanted to watch Scott doing some work. 

I had to finish up painting the balcony before Minnesota was in permafrost mode. I'd been painting storm windows all week, so this was the logical next step.

 Then she watched me fold laundry. She's obsessed with rolling over. As soon as I put her down she immediately rolls over. 

 Now that Meadow has a bed in her room she takes naps in there and ends up sleeping longer and falls asleep easier (awesome). I get more me time while she sleeps, so I scrubbed my feet with sugar scrub. 

I went over to I-394 to shoot a development for a client. On the way back I checkd out outdoor lights. I'd like to get a pair that match for the balcony and the back door.

I also picked up few other necessities like candy corn.

 Scott came home to Meadow and I doing aerobics. 

 Since Meadow was a week old I've been reading to her. At first we could barely make it through one book before she got bored/wanted to eat. Now she makes it through one or two. 

Oh, yeah, I got a new camera on the way home from Mankato, a Nikon D800. We still have the D300 and D5000, but Brooke isn't used to using this camera. When using DX lenses you have to look at a rectangle within the viewfinder when in DX mode. She didn't realize and took this arty pic.

 We bugged Scott again when he got back.

 Scott complained that he didn't want to make dinner. I said I would if he watched baby. I had been playing with her all day and wanted to do something else. 

 Hot and Crunchy Chicken Cones.

I heard something outside. It was the neighbor kids collecting lady bugs (well more likely they were Asian Beetles, but the kids call them lady bugs). 

By the time we ate it was already dark out.

 After he cleaned the kitchen he decided to make a mess again and make brownie ice cream. 

I started with the brownies. I got the recipe from the How to Cook Everything app.

 It was my mom's birthday, so Meadow and I Skyped with her.

Mr. Mike even Skyped for a little while.

I spent the next couple hours making the chocolate ice cream, freezing the brownies and then combining the two. I couldn't wait to try some the next morning.

So cute seeing Meadow at the table next to Scott. She’s so tiny. I loved the smiley pancakes.

Aerobics – ha, ha.

An Appalachian Hipcamp Road Trip: A MKE and O-HI-O pitstop on the way to Tawney Farm, West Virginia

Day 1  Scott had gotten a lucky gig to check out some off the beaten path campsites for Hipcamp. Our trip was going to bring us to the Appalachians. We packed our car full and headed east "early" Friday morning. Early for us is never that early, but at least we got out on the road at a decent hour. While driving through Madison we stopped at Cabela's to pick up a few more supplies that we would need. Our original plan was to make it to Indiana Sand Dunes tonight. Scott mentioned that if we drive through Milwaukee we could skip the Chicago tolls. I agreed and then he asked if we could stop in Cudahy to say hi to the folks. I said we might as well stay the night.  When we got there we went to Tsing Tao with my dad, my childhood favorite restaurant. It's in an old Ihop and has a great buffet at any time of the day.  Sorry Scott, I wasn't impressed. That's because your pretentious. Anyways, Meadow decided she didn't want t

Post Vaxx Memorial Day Weekend Fun in Three Lakes

  We went up to the cottage for one our never-miss weekends, Memorial Day. We got to the cottage at night and in the morning I made some crazy bacon-pancakes for the family and Brooke's parents. This weekend was my annual deep clean of our car. The amount of crumbs and food under the kids seats was pretty disgusting.   

A Northwoods Mother's Day

My mom had texted me last week asking if we wanted to go to the cottage for Mother's Day. Scott didn't have any work on Monday so we headed there for the weekend. I was able to get off work a little early so we didn't have to get there so late.  Driving through Lindstrom Scott wanted to get donuts at the bakery. We didn't have any cash so we settled on ice cream at the Cotton Candy Ice Cream Shop  in Center City. About 20 minutes before we got to the cottage Meadow threw up all her milk. Soaking herself and her carseat. She never threw up like this before. It was kind of scary. She kept asking for milk. I guess I should've known better.
