Mother's Day Brews and Bike Ride

The kids wanted waffles for breakfast. I thought I'd up the deliciousness with some ice cream.

This was a bit extreme for my tastes. At least for breakfast.

A mother's day gift to myself. I got my haircut a couple days ago.

It has been a year and a half since my last haircut and I was ready for something different.

Still really good looking. Ha.

Meadow surprised me with a gift of things she made at school.

Beautiful, Meadow!

We really didn't have any plans for the day.

Meadow decided it was the perfect chance to play some Switch.

We have small closets in our place so we have to switch out our clothes seasonally. I started with Theo's clothes.

Eventually everything was switched out and a few tears were shed for clothing that no longer fits.

Cool kids.

It was a nice day so we went out for a bike ride to a new to us brewery.

I'd recently stopped by Wild Minds for the first time. They specialize in sour and wild beers, but they also have good saisons and IPAs, which are more up our alleys.

The kids had to settle on LaCroix.

This was a nice space, I don't know how we never made it here before.

I thought we could treat the kids to some fries. We liked them so much that we got a second basket. We must have been getting hungry.

Meadow and Theo were bored and played with our phones. And for some reason Meadow called Blake on FaceTime.

We decided after we left to go to a brewery so I didn't bring any games or toys for them.

We were still hungry so we stopped to get some BBQ.

The BBQ at QFanatic must have been good because I forgot to take a picture.

It ended up being a less than boring Mother's Day after all.

Our Wedding

Brooke and I aren't traditionalists. We didn't want to sit through a half-hour ceremony, but we also didn't think eloping was the answer. One thing that we did do was spend the night before the wedding in separate houses. Even though Scott came with me to pick out my dress I still didn't want him to see me before the wedding. I had to keep one tradition. I woke up early to meet Brooke's dad at the Theodore Wirth Picnic Pavilion, only to find out that he was meeting me a couple hours later. I ended up getting most of the decorations over to the venue with my dad, sister and Dennis. Scott had texted me in the morning, "I'm supposed to merry your dad right now right?". I was like, merry my dad? What he meant to type, but autocorrect corrected for him was meet. Since Brooke came over to the venue to help, I spent most of the rest of the day with Blake, Colin and Olger. We ate some Pair of Dice Pizza and...

Gift Cards are for Spending

Thanks to daylight savings I got up extra early today. For breakfast I had eggs. You thought it was going to be oatmeal didn't you? Scott was working his early shift at work so I worked on chores. I hate when he works when I have off, but in a way I get more done with him gone. Like dishes. Our last two pumpkins from our garden. Before they could start going bad I roasted them in the oven. I then soaked the seeds in salty water for roasting later. This week I decided to clean out our buffet drawers. Each drawer was turning into a junk drawer and needed to be cleaned. I first took everything out to go through what I needed and what could be thrown away/recycled. I pureed the pumpkin to be used for future use. Like pumpkin woopie pies, mmm. While cleaning out the drawers I stumbled upon some items left behind from the previous owners. Now ...

G.G. and Grandpa Make Their 1st Visit to Interstate State Park and Taylors Falls (and Much, Much More)

Oh, hey, Brooke's parents visited us for the first time in forever. I told them if they wanted to keep Meadow, they'd have to bring her back. They arrived on Monday evening with plans to stay all week. I had to work still and we left them in charge of the kids. After a long day at the zoo we convinced them to walk with us to Bread and Pickle. They were not excited by this, but we knew they could do it. Nothing like an old-fashioned burger and beer meal from Bread & Pickle on a nice summer day.
