A Few Small Steps to Selling our House

Since today was going to be an all housework day we decided to do a picture an hour. Mostly because when we are working on something we forget to take pictures. 

8:19am I wake up first

9:21am I start cleaning the kitchen by doing dishes leftover from the day before.

10:23am Scott and Meadow finally wake up and make crepes.

It's been ages since we've made crepes, so why not.

11:24am I needed a haircut and beard trim before we cleaned up the bathroom.

I get back to decluttering and deep cleaning the kitchen.

Meadow watches tv.

12:31pm Still cleaning the kitchen.



Meadow gets herself some milk.

Scott finishes painting exterior trim.

After all these years, I finally have the exterior looking like I'd like it. One last coat on this window and we're ready to go.

1:33 pm Scott stands outside while Meadow plays in the yard.
Oh and Tyler is currently living in our driveway.

Actually I think I was painting the final coat of paint on the garage door.


I move on to deep cleaning the bathroom. Hello belly.

I wonder what could be in there.

2:35pm Meeting and signing papers with, Nate, our realtor. It's official this is really happening.

3:36pm Meadow and I drive to my work to get boxes for moving.

4:38pm Driving home with a car full of boxes. Meadow is back there somewhere.

5:41pm Meadow wraps up her markers in bubble wrap.

I move on to wiping down the hallway.

Scott cleans up the yard.

This is the first time I've weed whipped all year. With all of our road trips and house projects this summer we were lagging behind on yard work.

Leftover dinner break.

6:46pm Meadow makes forts with the boxes.

Scott finishes cleaning up the yard.

With not enough time to take pictures and rain was forecast for the rest of the week.

I move on to the guest room.

7:51 Meadow brushes her teeth.

We didn't' know what to do with this, so I found a how-to on painting and sealing a counter. The last remnant of our old yellow kitchen is gone.

8:54pm I do dishes again.

Scott puts Meadow to bed.

9:18pm I'm worn out. Early to bed. 
Good night Moon.

Northwoods NYE 2024 - Wild Ice Edition

After our stop in Dunbar for lunch, we drove the last hour to Three Lakes for Northwood New Year's Eve.  When we arrived we were greeted by Rudolph.  I love the addition to the Christmas decor this year. It was time for Second Christmas after all.   Grandpa must like playing with fire. Theo will not lose even if he lost. Deer pancakes for our first morning at the cottage. At least for Theo. The rest of us just got plain old pancakes. I'm not sure why, but they're always better when Grandpa makes them. I recently read that you should take a 30 minute walk after eating. Scott and I didn't bother getting dressed and headed outside. That was just my sister talking, but oddly I think it makes my reflux worse.    Another New Years with no snow. There was a tiny bit in the shade. Theo got to cut down the tree this year.

Dakotas Road Trip: On to Aberdeen, Lake Traverse Reservation and Bismarck

Day 8 The start of the third leg of our trip was going to be hot.  Thankfully we had a long drive across the entire state of South Dakota. We stopped for gas in Phillip, South Dakota and decided to eat in town. Next to our lunch spot, The Retro, was the sign shop that makes all the billboards for Wall Drug. Nothing spectacular, but everyone got to pick something from the lengthy menu. And we were off. I had shoots in Bismarck and on the Lake Traverse Reservations. Originally the plan was to shoot first in Bismarck and then on the northeast South Dakota reservation, but things got flipped around.  We thought we would have time to go back to Theodore Roosevelt National Park. 

Christmas Cookies in January? And a Brief Mill City Museum Visit

Somehow we never made Christmas cookies this December. So the kids and Brooke made 'em in January instead. Theo reminded me this week that we never made Christmas cookies this year. I brought out all our cookie cutters and let them pick whatever shape they wanted.  I'm glad I did a half recipe. Theo rarely lays on the couch like this. I should have noticed his odd behavior.  I made waffles for breakfast, a true rarity these days, since Brooke took over weekend breakfasts.
