Kite Festivals and Late Night Chinese Takeout

Meadow sleeps in the strangest positions.

The two of them could really share a bed if they chose sides.

Baby breakfast.

Mama breakfast.

My ankle was finally feeling better after a wicked ankle twist back in December. Now I'm back on the Wii Fit train.

Then it was time to check out the Lake Harriet Winter Kite Festival.

I had a bad feeling as we got closer and I didn't see any kites in the air.

There were still a lot of folks out on the ice.

Theo was not impressed by the cold and lack of kites.

You could try out fat bikes thanks to the bike shop near our condo, Farmstead Bike Shop.

Theo was still not in the mood. Truth be told, the little guy and I were a bit under the weather.

We tried, but couldn't get the kites to stay up long.

We walked around and people watched instead.

Eventually there was enough wind for a little kite flying.

Check out that homemade kick sled.

Some kites were successful but none of the big guys were out.

Before we could leave Meadow had to leave her mark on the lake.

I had guacamole for lunch.

It was supposed to be a snack withe leftover soup, but Brooke basically ate it all.

Meadow and I ran to the library quick before it closed.

I love cuddling with these tiny tykes.

Since Scott and the kids were sick we were lazy the rest of the day.

Eventually we got hungry and ordered Chinese takeout at like 9:00.

It hit the spot.

Duluth December Weekend: Boubville Ain't Bentleyville, But Why Not Go to Both

This year we decided to check out Daniel's avant garde Christmas light display: Boubville . We've seen the set up but never in action. Get a crowd and it takes on a totally different vibe. Plus I don't think we've ever seen all the lights and displays on at the same time. There was even a ball pit with hidden prizes. A few of the other kids activities for the first night were canceled due to frigid temps. The winter beach was magical. A great use of the boob lights. My favorite display was the interactive light display. Meadow even donated some art. The Ghosts of Dinners past was super rad. Like a manger scene where the people disappeared. Loved the burn barrels to stay warm. They were very necessary on this night. Hey I recognize that doll with the pink tights. This was one of the displays we'd seen in the past. In Blake and Daniel's garage some local teenage bands were rocking out. Not a bad first night of Boubville. While Brooke worked at the Supe...

Meadow Turns 7

Since there is no birthday party this year we let Meadow open her first present right away. My baby is all grown up. She was so excited to get Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

A Minneapolis Easter Weekend

This year we decided to stay home for Easter. I had hoped to go to Duluth again, but my brother Blake had to work. Instead I planned some fun things for us to do in Minneapolis. Meadow had fun egg hunting at Blake's last year so I found one at one of the Minneapolis Parks.
