Meadow Has A Playdate

Brooke had her wisdom teeth taken out, which means it would be a boring weekend. 

I was still pretty out of it 3 days later.

Luckily Meadow had a playdate. She put on one of her favorite dresses and asked me to tie the bow. That's what dad's do I guess.

Chipmunk mama and baby chipmunk stayed back while I took Meadow over to her friend Georgia's place.

The girls were quick to start crafting. I had planned on dropping off Meadow, but ended up staying the whole time and chatting with Georgia, Celia and Ruby's dads and Georgia's mom.

The girls came over for a snack.


And then Georgia's mom was nice enough to make all the girls lunches. We'll definitely have to do this again with all the mom's too.

I came back and fed little mess maker some black beans. This kid knows how to make a mess. Brooke was still super tired from the wisdom teeth surgery, so it was solo parenting much of the day.

I wish I had had my teeth taken out before kids. 

Meadow brought home some crafts from the day.

We finished the night with some soup of some sort. Totally don't remember. This is why I shouldn't wait when writing these posts.


Actually you and Meadow went to go see The Hobbit at the Childrens Theater so I made Theo and I roasted cauliflower soup.

Backcountry Camping with Kids in Theodore Roosevelt National Park

Day 1  Back in May I stumbled upon Theodore Roosevelt National Park. I had no idea there was a National Park in North Dakota and that it was the northern end of the Badlands. Usually our summer vacations coincide with Scott's work trips. Since he didn't have any this summer I thought we should take advantage of actually taking a vacation. What, my workcations are always classics? I suppose a second real vacation this year wouldn't hurt. We definitely have more time than normal. As long as we took Covid-19  precautions and avoided people. We finally settled on a time to go. Blake joined us so we borrowed our dad's van so we could ride together. Scott had just driven from Michigan the day before. Blake had met my parents in Wisconsin to get the van and then drove from Duluth to pick us up. I offered to drive since I literally only drive twice a month.  I was still pretty tired from a long drive home. Since we were near Fergus Falls we had to stop by the abandoned state ho...

An Ice Skating Birthday Party for Theo

Since Scott was still not feeling great on his actual birthday. We postponed Theo's birthdays wishes a few days. Since seeing the commercials for Burger King, he has been begging to go so he could get the $7 deal.  That's the $5 Duo and $7 Trio, Brooke. I have to say it wasn't as good as I remember. Dont know the last time I ate BK. We picked this BK for the playground. Theo's other wish was to go the Dog Man movie. We tried out the Emagine theater in Eagan.  Got the whole theater to ourselves and didn't have to rent it out this time.  I swear, it was a good time. For his birthday party this year, we finally settled on having an ice skating party at our house. We had lucked out with the weather. Today was the last cold day before a big warm up.  Meadow and I barely decorated. As soon as his friends arrived we opened gifts right away. We used to wait to open gifts after the party, but I guess kids get really excited to see their friends open their gifts from them....

The Road back from the Valley

On Sunday morning we had to head back, so Brooke made the bed. We packed up early to make a few stops before heading home. After these photos were taken my mom complained we take too many "dumb" pictures. I think she was saying this to me. I like to document every minute detail of our days (or weddings ). She complained about the same thing earlier this year. Gail didn't want me to shoot her other daughters wedding. Ouch! I had oatmeal for breakfast (bet you didn't see that coming). I drank a Moutain Dew as we left Little Chute . Not exactly the most nutritious breakfast, but I feel like I have to drink soda when we're back home. It's not allowed in the Romenesko-Tuska household. We dropped off Brittany on the way and headed to Redgranite. I made sure we stopped at Mosier's first. Whenever I would visit my grandparents my Grandma would buy me a toy from here. I usually picked out giant coloring books.   This time...
