On The Fifteenth Day Of Advent We Lounged Around in Little Chute

Not really a Christmas activity, but we got to spend time with my family who we won't get to see on Christmas.

Meadow wore her "My Mom my Loves Me" sleeper.

Long story.

Oh I guess we got to watch Blake open his stocking.

Momma Gail or G.G. or whatever she's called this week got to see a lot of little Meadow bear. She loves to smile at her grandparents.

We had waffles for breakfast.

Thanks Mr. Mike.

Meadow watched us eat in her chair again.

Blake left us to go back to Duluth.

Meadow played with Agua all day long.

Scott and I were sick of all the random crap in my parents fridge and decided to clean it out for them.

We forgot to take an after picture.

Scott made his famous spaghetti and meatballs for dinner.

I told Brooke to play with her angel hair pasta.

Meadow chewed on toys.

Brooke went shopping with Momma Gail. Mr. Mike and I watched a very grumpy Meadow for the remainder of the day.

The North Minneapolis Tornado of 2011

Brooke and the cat woke up only to look out the window, searching for the alley cat. An afternoon shift at the Best Buy. A normal morning. It started so peaceful. I'm not even supposed to work on Sundays. Something was off, Brooke was making good oatmeal. She had to take the car out to Long Lake. It wasn't going to be a normal day.

Bu Bye Chicago, Hello Milwaukee

The morning after the wedding we had leftover bagels for breakfast.
...and Brooke looked out the window.
Haha that's not me, that's Emma. See what I mean? My own husband can't tell the difference.
By the way did you know we had roommates in our hotel room?
I also ate leftover pie from the wedding.

Despite having to be quiet at night we enjoyed sharing our room with Tyler, Emma and Olive. It was kind of like a big sleepover.
Then we had to check out and head to Pilsen for lunch.
Tyler had been talking up Nuevo Leone for a while now, so we skipped Burrito House this time.

Next time it's a must. That's two times in a row that I didn't go to Burrito House.
Pilsen is one my favorite Chicago neighborhoods, so I was easily cajoled.
I'm not exactly sure how they do their laundry with the machine facing the window.

Tyler, Emma and Olive got lost or something, so we walked around for a bit.
Brooke really wanted to eat this hot dog, but I said "No, it's a paint…

Labor Day is Oh So Great at the Cottage. Even This Year.

By Scottie and Brooke Tuska September 07, 2020

We planned on skipping the cottage for Labor Day thinking a lot of people would be up. Turns out that wasn't the case. We decided to spend our first day going on a bike ride.

We each towed a kiddo behind us.
Pulling a bike trailer on a single speed gets to you after a while. Scott wanted to keep going down Sheltered Valley Road. We joked we should add Theo's trailer to Meadow's tag-along.
It actually worked and wasn't half bad.
