We Are Home and We are Bored

Another weekend with no plans.

Well, your parents were just here.

So far Theo is very chill and just sleeps a lot. Some days he's fussier than others, but he definitely seems easier than Meadow was.

Whenever Meadow takes a bath she asks to be wrapped in a blanket and watch tv.

Ever since she was a little one.

On our more exciting Saturday I had made roasted corned beef and cabbage. So, we had some for lunch.

Meadow just adores her little brother.

She kisses him every minute of the day. This is probably because I kiss her on the head whenever I'm near.

Meadow asked to do puzzles.

For a while this was all she did.

Meadow played dress up with her soon to fit clothes.

We saved all of Meadow's clothes. Since Theo won't be wearing most of them I sorted through all her bins. We actually had more clothes that he could wear than I thought.

We finished our somewhat lazy Sunday with blueberry pancakes for dinner.

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.

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.

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.
