Theo's 4th Birthday, Fun Day

 

After a busy last few months at work and at home I took Friday off to spend the day with Theo. First up was asking him what he wanted for his birthday breakfast. He chose a chocolate big pancake. 
 
 
I told him we can do whatever he wanted today. I thought we might go to the childrens museum or something but he just wanted to play toys. 
 
 

We also had to celebrate his birthday on Animal Crossing.

Lucky guy got to spend his whole day with mama and papa. Since we've been getting our condo ready to sell, moving and most recently fixing up the rental, we've been so busy. 

Next Theo wanted to go to the Bobolokin Woods.

I sure do miss walking over here everyday. Felt kind of weird to drive over. 


Going to Boblikin woods was at least what he said. Really he just wanted to play under the trees at the Peace Garden.

He was having a blast. 


Soon the wind picked up and we convinced him to go to the toy store to pick out a toy. He wanted to stay all day. 

Then we picked up his cake. Theo chose an ice cream cake and we let the little bub choose one in person. He went with the Oreo Ice Cream Cake at Sebastian Joe's.

At the Hobby Shop he chose a remote control car. He has been asking for one for awhile now. 

Lucky kid. His very own remote control car. 

Since the rental is empty we decided to race it around down there.

For dinner we went to Sushi Train. With Omicron cases in retreat, we thought we'd have some fun. Who knows when the next surge of cases will pop up?

This kid loves his sushi. 

These kids too. 



Meadow and Brooke said I ate too many fancy ones. Whoops.
 
We eat a lot in general.  

Back at home it was present time. 


Theo was excited for present time.

He's been wanting his own art supplies. Now he doesn't have to share with Theo or use up our tape. 


From Gigi he got slinkys. 

And a northwoods counting book. 

Then one last surprise from Meadow. 

His own bean bag chair. 
 
So excited to try his new paint set.
 
I was excited for the decadent ice cream cake.




Happy birthday, little bub!
 
We love you!

Chicago Chrismukkah + Michigander Xmas

 Before heading out on our trip we let the kids open their Christmas gifts from us. A knitted sweater for Theo and a kitty dress for Meadow (I fixed the straps for her) both made by me. I wanna a sweater. Scott got them new compact sleeping bags. We all got smaller sleeping bags this year and we'll now have a lot more room in our car. This year we had talked about hosting my family at the cottage. Then meeting up in Milwaukee, then meeting in Chicago. But in the end we made stops in Chicago and Lowell this Christmas. We left on a Sunday which was nice to have a few days to prepare. On the way down to Chicago we stopped at our favorite roadside restaurant, Foster Cheese Haus. We had plans to break up our drives so we didn't have to rush like we normally do. We had made it just before the cheese haus was set to close for the winter. Just not enough folks stop here in winter and snowmobile season is becoming shorter and shorter this far so...

I Go to Oregon and They Go to Cottage

  I had to get back from Little Chute just to fly out to Oregon for another shoot out there. This was after also doing an overnight shoot in Worthington, MN.     Meanwhile, we had left Meadow in Little Chute during the week. Theo and I headed to the cottage to pick her up.  Still winter up here.  Theo looks so cute in the Stormy Kromer hat.  There's still ice on the lake with a few open spots of water.   

A Weekend with Grandpoppy Tuska and Nanna

Friday We decided to break up our drive to Milwaukee by camping halfway. Instead of rushing Friday morning we left right after I was done with work on Thursday. Scott texted me as I was leaving work with the idea. By the time I got home he had everything ready. We had hoped to camp at Devil's Lake, but we were worried we would get there and it would be full. We settled on nearby Rocky Arbor State Park. For being so close to Wisconsin Dells the park was practically empty.
