We Finally Did Nothing

For the first time in a long while we had no trips planned. With our abundance of apples we picked up last weekend I made German apple pancake for breakfast.

We bought two big bags of apples along the road on our way back from the cottage. We've been making apple sauces, dumplings and even a pie. And they're still not gone.

The night before I asked Theo what we should do tomorrow. He said, "drive". I asked where we should drive to and he said playground.

We didn't have to drive as we walked over to our neighborhood park. I was surprised to see four other families there when we arrived. Almost as soon as we showed up they all left so we had the place to ourselves.

We stayed for over an hour. The kids didn't want to leave.

When we were walking to the park we passed the neighbor boy who mentioned it was his brothers birthday. Meadow made him a card and dropped it off for him.

This kid just spends all her days cutting up old fabric and making outfits for her and Theo’s stuffies. She’s pretty cool.

She can make things out of nothing. I love her creative mind.

The room may be strewn with fabric scraps, but that's alright.

Check out all the new outfits she made.

I didn't take any good pictures of it, but I made chicken mole after Meadow had mentioned that cocoa is used in it. I guess kids do learn from PBS shows.

Apparently Meadow had written my dad a letter asking for antlers. He followed through and gave her some when we saw him at the cottage. I asked what she planned to do with them and she made a nice centerpiece on our table.

The end.

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....

Honeymoon: Madeline Island Without a Kayak? At Least We Brought Bikes.

We made it safely to Bayfield without getting attacked by any bears . I think that's because of my wily driving skills.

Up to Green Bay and down to Milwaukee

The next day Scott really wanted to go to Green Bay since he hadn't been there since he was 10. I warned him that there wasn't much to see, but he insisted. Driving in, I could tell the place was kind of trashy. We saw a thrift store and decided to stop. Because it was Black Friday everything in the store was half off. Blake found the perfect t-shirt for me, seeing as I had been pulled over the night before. Although we didn't get these dishes we did find a vintage tree stand for only $1.50. I so want these! We drove all around Green Bay until there was nothing left to see. I haven't been to Bay Beach in years. It was weird to see what was once a picnic area now a giant parking lot and rollercoaster. Makes me want to come back next summer. Scott had also been wanting to try Taste of the Windy City in Little Chute. I think he now knows what we won't be doing when we come back again. This actually looks really...
