Theo's First Haircut and More Breweries

These kids love cereal.

And I love making a fool of myself.

Theo thought it would be fun to put the Duplo bucket on his head while he rides his bike.

I think he was imitating his paba.

Theo has been needing a haircut. I've been afraid to do it because of his curls. But I agreed to do it after Mexico.

He's been needing a haircut for months.

Looking at this photo he definitely was ready.

Yup.

We went with a kid specific hair salon since Theo is known to not sit still. He had no idea what was going on and what was going to happen. He's shy like Meadow and barely moved or reacted when the hair dresser talked to him.

The hairdresser was sad to cut of his curls too. She said she wasn't going to cut it his hair too short so you could still see them.

He was busy watching Paw Patrol.

They even gave us a little certificate with his curls.

We had to pick up more Girl Scout cookies. Theo's haircut was too quick, so we killed some time at a playground.

Scott's Craftapped membership ends soon so we decided to take advantage of it today.

You basically pay $50 for ten beers per month at partner breweries and restaurants. Except you can usually get it for almost half off on Groupon. I broke even easily, but could've used it five times as much.

I thought it was going to be packed, but there were some open tables.

We were going upstairs for pizza anyways.

He is so handsome now with his haircut. Now I wish we had done it sooner.

Theo is Picasso Tile Builder Master.

I love this place.

Some of the better pizza in town and Surly's go to beer. Except they don't have Cynic and Bender any longer. Nonetheless I got a couple new ones that were great.

Scott gets two deals a day so we headed over to Dual Citizen.

I hate when breweries are overcrowded.

This one wasn't too bad.

This place had a kids area too.

Nice curls Theo.

We always bring cards and Picasso Tiles along.

The kids have been mess monsters lately. Clean up time was needed before bed.

Yardwork, Ikea and Pumpkins

My new parents-in-law got us a dehydrator for the wedding. Knowing we were going to be cleaning up the garden and going to farmer's market, we took a gander at our millionth kitchen device during breakfast. Scott added granola to his oatmeal. The oatmeal was rather bland, just the way Brooke likes it. Scott was actually cleaning up so I had to take a quick photo of him as proof. Scott told me he was, "putting a blanket down for Peanut," while singing. During the winter months peanut needs a warm place to peer through the window. Seeing as it was nearly November, I setup his blanket for him. Seeing as the farmers market season is dwindling down, we headed to the market...once again. The close proximity to the cities central farmer's market has to be one of the best assets of living in NoMi. We were both amazed by the bounty of produce still on sale. We quickly filled up our first bag and took it back to the car....

Dakotas Road Trip: Badlands and Black Hills

I thought we would skip Wall Drug this time since we've seen it before but Scott was gun ho on going. Come on. You can't go to the Badlands and skip the world's greatest tourist trap. First stop ice cream. We thought we would have lunch here but after seeing the prices decided we would cook something at the park instead. But first we had to take a couple tourist pics. When we we decided we were coming here I was expecting it to be 90's and hot. Did not think it would be rainy, chilly and foggy. I always make Brooke look cool. She on the other hand always finds a way to take a pic at the most awkward possible moment. Either that or I'm just really awkward. Earlier this year, I asked Theo where he wanted to go on vacations this year. He said he wanted to backpack camp at the Badlands because he was sad he didn't get to go yet. This is all for you buddy.

4th of July 2025: Our Annual Romenesko Reunion

4th of July, you say? Of course we were going up to Three Lakes and the cottage. I took a half day on Thursday and we headed to the cottage. Scott had to stop in Lindstrom which brought us to an old favorite for lunch in Taylor's Falls, The Drive In . Still pretty, pretty good. Even though it was super hot today, we had to keep our AC on. This is the one time of the year where the whole family is together. Exchanging of belated birthday gifts it is. Theo didn't know what he wanted so he got money. Meadow got a new hairbrush and the Warriors Ultimate Guide Book. We all seem to stick to our greatest hits for the 4th weekend. Brittany and Jeff once again made table nachos. This is making me want nachos back home. Do we look alike? I think that with this seating arrangement that you can see how both Chelsea and Brooke look like Brittany, but Brooke and Chelsea don't look anything alike. The good place. Blake already had a quest for the kids to do. Why does Brooke look this cu...
