At Home in March (And Ice Skating in Maple Grove)

The kids asked for crepes for breakfast.

I have to get my crepes between batches.

Our main cast iron skillet has gotten to the point that we can actually use it for crepes!

We found tenants for our downstairs rental and after 6 months of working and house projects we were ready to take a break and just play. Our unit needs work but it can wait.

I think we were playing hide and seek before Brooke and Meadow decided to go an adventure.

With ice skating still on our minds and only one rink still open we had to get one last skate in.

Just Meadow and I went up to the ice skating loop in Maple Grove. Because of the late season and warm weather there was hardly anyone here.

Always trying new tricks. I told her I would sign her up for classes.

When the zamboni came out we took a playground break.

Only kid at the playground too.

Once the ice was ready she was back to doing her tricks

This kid always wants to do her tricks.

Theo and I built some epic Lincoln Log cabins while they ice skated.

Gotta say our Grand Hotel turned out pretty, pretty good.

When they got back we were on to building block cities.

I love that Meadow is finally old enough to play more adult games with me. She loved Scrabble.

The next morning we ate big pancakes. What a weekend of breakfasts!

Meadow got a sewing book at the library and wanted help making a pillow.

It was finally warm out which means lots of melting snow. The kids put on their rain suits and had some fun.

Splash!

Duluth December Weekend: Boubville Ain't Bentleyville, But Why Not Go to Both

This year we decided to check out Daniel's avant garde Christmas light display: Boubville . We've seen the set up but never in action. Get a crowd and it takes on a totally different vibe. Plus I don't think we've ever seen all the lights and displays on at the same time. There was even a ball pit with hidden prizes. A few of the other kids activities for the first night were canceled due to frigid temps. The winter beach was magical. A great use of the boob lights. My favorite display was the interactive light display. Meadow even donated some art. The Ghosts of Dinners past was super rad. Like a manger scene where the people disappeared. Loved the burn barrels to stay warm. They were very necessary on this night. Hey I recognize that doll with the pink tights. This was one of the displays we'd seen in the past. In Blake and Daniel's garage some local teenage bands were rocking out. Not a bad first night of Boubville. While Brooke worked at the Supe...

Meadow Turns 7

Since there is no birthday party this year we let Meadow open her first present right away. My baby is all grown up. She was so excited to get Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

A Minneapolis Easter Weekend

This year we decided to stay home for Easter. I had hoped to go to Duluth again, but my brother Blake had to work. Instead I planned some fun things for us to do in Minneapolis. Meadow had fun egg hunting at Blake's last year so I found one at one of the Minneapolis Parks.
