Hanging with Caribbeans in the Dead of Winter

By
Good morning sunshine.

Someone learned how to crawl last week.

Meadow is the queen of stuffed animals.

We decided to take out most of these since she wants to sleep or chew everyone.

I asked Scott to make breakfast again. 

It's what I do.

Meadow really only likes to be in the jumper for 5 minutes. I wish she would stay in it longer. 

Brooke and the babe were keeping an eagle eye on my cooking.

We hadn't had aebelskievers in a long time. Scott complained that they were just complicated pancakes and complained the whole time while he made them.

Because they all burnt. I soon realized I forgot the cooking spray.

These are pretty delicious. They're kind of like little filled-pancake donuts.

During breakfast Cevonne texted asking if we wanted to come over.

Meadow waking up at the same time every night has made me a zombie.

Lately Meadow has discovered shadows. She is easily entertained when I make shadow puppets. Today she realized she can make them too. 

She kept trying to catch them. 

That's a creepy shadow little bear. She's going to frighten herself.

Since starting solids her poops have been thicker and much more explosive. We usually have to change her clothes 3 times a day. This time she needed a bath. 

After Meadow took a nap we headed through the crazy blowing snow to Cevonne and Jose's. 

Madeline was very interested in Meadow. 

While the guys made food in the kitchen us girls Skyped with Amanda. We got to finally "meet" Alayna.

We brought over chips and avocados and made a massive amount of gaucamole. 

Beer and guac. Not a bad dinner.

We continued to Skype with Amanda. Her sound wasn't working so she had to type out her responses. 


While Scott was making gaucamole, Jose made pineapple upside down cake. I have never actually made pineapple upside down cake. Jose perfected it quite well. 

I could really go for this as I type.

The wind was pretty bad and it was getting really cold. We debated on sleeping over.

This winter is the worst ever.

We all watched Super Why before Madeline went to bed. 

JT conked out while Madeline was enthralled.

Meadow fell asleep too. After awhile we decided to brave the weather and head home.

A Texas-Louisiana-Arkansas Hipcamp Road Trip: Back to Arkansas and a Night in Iowa

By
I hadn't really planned on driving through Mississippi, so I found a route that took us back through Lousiana and into Arkansas. Before we made it to the Land of the Downriver People we stopped in Monroe for some soul food.

A Blasé Weekend in Late July

By
We have a busy August. This Friday looked like the last Friday before school starts where we are around. I suggested getting breakfast at Al's Breakfast. I also wanted to go here before the college kids weren't back in school yet. I tried getting Theo to order the pancakes, but he got the waffles. I think everyone was happy with their breakfast. Still the best breakfast in Minneapolis. Theo woke up early this morning and was willing to go on a walk with me. Based on the photo above, I think you woke him up. He scored some good books at a little library. Later, I took the kids swimming at Weber Park. It was cloudy and dark at home and up in North Minneapolis it was clear and sunny. I finally convinced Theo to tie back his hair when he goes swimming so his hair isn't in his face. Later Brooke and I went and picked up a hoosier cabinet for our kitchen landing. This custom shelf the old owners made would have to find a new home in the basement. This was nice enough but the micr...

A Smoky Weekend at the Cottage and a Stop at Ladysmith's Northland Mardi Gras

By
This summer we decided to go to the cottage any weekend we had nothing else going on. This week, due to fires in the Boundary Waters and Canada, the air quality was pretty terrible. We debated if we should still go, but it looked like it would clear up by Saturday. So we took the chance. And by terrible, we mean the worst air quality we'd ever seen. Along the way we decided to stop at John and Heidi's Happy Daze . We've passed this place probably 100 times. It was about time to stop by. I ordered the prime rib sandwich special.  Yummy. The sandwich that is. Everybody's food was really good, but Brooke's was the star of the show.  I want to get back here asap. Now if only this pesky smoke would go away.
