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.

Yardwork, Ikea and Pumpkins

My new parents-in-law got us a dehydrator for the wedding. Knowing we were going to be cleaning up the garden and going to farmer's market, we took a gander at our millionth kitchen device during breakfast. Scott added granola to his oatmeal. The oatmeal was rather bland, just the way Brooke likes it. Scott was actually cleaning up so I had to take a quick photo of him as proof. Scott told me he was, "putting a blanket down for Peanut," while singing. During the winter months peanut needs a warm place to peer through the window. Seeing as it was nearly November, I setup his blanket for him. Seeing as the farmers market season is dwindling down, we headed to the market...once again. The close proximity to the cities central farmer's market has to be one of the best assets of living in NoMi. We were both amazed by the bounty of produce still on sale. We quickly filled up our first bag and took it back to the car....

Backcountry Camping with Kids in Theodore Roosevelt National Park

Day 1 Back in May I stumbled upon Theodore Roosevelt National Park. I had no idea there was a National Park in North Dakota and that it was the northern end of the Badlands. Usually our summer vacations coincide with Scott's work trips. Since he didn't have any this summer I thought we should take advantage of actually taking a vacation. What, my workcations are always classics? I suppose a second real vacation this year wouldn't hurt. We definitely have more time than normal. As long as we took Covid-19 precautions and avoided people. We finally settled on a time to go. Blake joined us so we borrowed our dad's van so we could ride together. Scott had just driven from Michigan the day before. Blake had met my parents in Wisconsin to get the van and then drove from Duluth to pick us up. I offered to drive since I literally only drive twice a month. I was still pretty tired from a long drive home. Since we were near Fergus Falls we had to stop by the abandoned state ho...

The Cape Cod of the Midwest

We talked Brittany into joining us for a road trip to Door County, WI. Scott had never been there before ( or so I believe) . Considering how short of a drive it is I'm surprised my family didn't go that often, either.
