Quick Let's Get Some More House Projects Done

I was traveling abroad for work, so I tried getting some projects done before I'd be gone for a week. I focused on wet scraping and puttning down a coat of Peel Bond on the window sills. They weren't in great shape, but this would hold us over this year.

Our windows are full of peeling lead paint. Now that it's finally getting warm out I didn't want to open the windows until we knew they paint was encased.

Meadow was prepping for her birthday party. Still a month out, but she was ready.

She is really into the show Lion Guard. A spin off of Lion King. This is what she has decided her birthday theme will be.

Brooke worked on the linen closet/hallway ceiling.

I'm back to working in the office after 2 years of working from home. With Scott gone for the next week we asked my parents if they could watch the kids. I felt embarrassed that we hadn't painted the ceiling after my dad helped us install it last November.

Now we could finally get a light fixture back up there.

Meadow made Theo and her Numbeblocks costumes. This little gal is a crafting genius.

She's already planning for Halloween.

My parents are just getting over Covid so Meadow also made them a get well card.

After attempting the French macarons Meadow requested an easier cookie recipe. Peanut butter cookies would be a lot easier for her to do.

RV Spring Break: Savannah to Miami

Oh, hey, we made it to Savannah. Time for a nice stroll (well, as leisurely as Brooke will allow). I was pretty excited to be going to Savannah, even if we could only stay for a few hours. The tricky thing with having an RV is finding a place to park. The Fahm Avenue parking lot had RV spots and then we walked over to the historic district. Meadow should go to the Savannah College of Art and Design. You know, if she can get a scholarship. Savannah is just as cool in person as you think. I should have done at least one house tour. I had to embarrass Meadow with taking her photo in front of the first Girl Scout Headquarters. Brooke got me to go into the beautiful Catholic church right in the historic district. I don't think I've ever been in a Cathedral Basilica. Usually it's one or the other. It seems like every few blocks there was a perfect square. We should build all cities like this. For lunch we went to Savannah Smokehouse . We ended up getting the sampler for 2, whi...

A Schools Out for Summer Bike Ride

Summer was finally here and we've all got bikes once again! When the kids want crepes, you gotta make them. Theo even helped me this time. Guess we could have used a bigger table out here. We needed to scout a spot for Meadow's birthday party. We thought today we'd take a family bike ride on Minnehaha Parkway. Meadow got a new helmet over Memorial Weekend which really completed her new bike set up. She's so cute. We stopped at Lyndale Farmstead Bike shop to fix the grips on Theo's bike. Good as new. Always love Minneapolis in the spring. This spot seemed like a good one. Theo wanted a portrait too. There was rain coming so we stopped to wait it out under the Nicollet Avenue bridge. We also saw a few people canoeing and kayaking on the creek. These guys had the same idea as us.
