November and Not Much Else

We're still trying to use up those apples. Apple pancake again.

They will never be all eaten. It's like our fruit drawer has no bottom.

PicassoTiles are still #1 in our house.

The kids play with them every single day.

Although Meadow mostly plays with every day objects. I've never seen anyone get so excited to get a box.

I try to sneak them out of the house, but she insists on making something out of each and every one of them.

She also constantly finds scrap fabrics for new stuffed animal outfits.

Scott was going to be gone for the week on a work trip and needed more masks.

Brooke even made me a Packers one.

Just look at the fine fabric.

Thanks Etsy.

We weren't having one of our standard adventures, but we still had a good day.

Sometimes I guess it's okay to be home to caught up on projects.

We finished the night playing some Wii games. That console ages like a fine wine.

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....

The Cape Cod of the Midwest

We talked Brittany into joining us for a road trip to Door County, WI. Scott had never been there before ( or so I believe) . Considering how short of a drive it is I'm surprised my family didn't go that often, either.

Theo Meets G.G. and Grandpa

The memorial for Scott's dad was still to be decided so we headed back home. My parents were planning to come to visit this weekend too. We were driving back on Brooke's birthday, so I had to make her absurd brookie cheesecake before her rents came to town. I spent my actual birthday taking Theo to doctor appointments. The good news is another blood test was not needed. When my parents showed up my mom surprised us with this giant balloon. It was huge. It would've looked fine in our old place, but it just took over our condo. Meadow still loved it. They also surprised Meadow with Wonder Woman wristbands. GG was pretty excited to see Theo. I was excited for all of the cheese and snacks they brought. Meadow had already found some crackers. We then decided to go out for Friday Night Fish Fry. We chose St. Albert the Great over by Longfellow. I recently got a hankering for old school Catholic fish fries. ...
