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.

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

Mankato's Minneopa Waterfalls and Bison in Spring

Another weekend, another hiking trip. This time Minneopa State Park. We started with the Hiking Club Trail . The Hiking Club is a great way to get the kids excited about our hikes. Rather than just going out for a hike they're searching for the secret password along the trail. Where there's rocks Meadow will climb.

An End of Spring Break Visit to the Three Lakes Cottage

Meadow's on spring break so a trip to the cottage it is. The weekend called for rain, rain, rain but we don't care. We all brought along our rain suits just in case it never let up. Even with just a drizzle Theo put on his suit right away. I think this is the earliest I've seen the ice off the lake. Should have brought our swimsuits. Brooke used to always be the first one swimming as a kid. Maybe Meadow, Brooke and Theo can keep that tradition alive. Me? Probably not. Theo must think his rain suit is completely waterproof. He went well past his boots.
