Snowy Winter and Some Other Stuff

We got another snowstorm and when I woke up it was so pretty outside with everything covered in snow.

Not a bad view outside our porch.

We needed some milk for breakfast. I braved the blowing snow to walk to the coop and Mexican market to get some groceries.

Oh, look, I snow blowed the snow.

I swear I'm almost done with this. At least all the cracks are patched.

I came up with a way to attach our shop vac to my orbital sander. I'd spend the rest of the day sanding.

Magnatiles everyday.

Books everyday.

We got the kids a Lego Advent calendar this year.

I cleaned under all of our radiators. Looks at all these treasures I found from our kids and the previous kids that lived here.

We picked up this game recently from the thrift store. I love playing board games with the kids.

Biking to Doors Open Minneapolis 2025

This weekend was Doors Open. We had missed the last couple years so I had a big list of places to see. I thought we'd drive to get to more places quickly, but Scott insisted we bike as it was easier to park. Theo and I were ready to take some pics. We started out at the Rand Tower. My personal favorite Minneapolis skyscraper. Next we got to see inside a manhole. They had robots patrolling the sewer and a live video feed on a TV. Then we walked over to the Dayton's Project. I really wish their food hall idea would have followed through, it's sad to see it so empty. It's still mostly empty and I'm not sure if they know what to do with the space. We got to go in the nooks and crannies of the old JB Hudsons space, like this the old window display. There was lounge or bar that was opening soon to the public.

Good morning, Theo! Good morning Minneapolis.

August Adventures Back in Minnesota

I had a brief lull a fter being super busy in the early summer. So I took the kids up to Lindstrom with me to pick up a lens and go on a little adventure. We found a cool little shop along Lindstrom's main drag, A Ghost in the Attic . Meadow wanted every little knickknack. She did get some really cool glow in the dark alien cat earrings. Then we went to the Franconia Sculpture Park . I used to take the kids here every summer. Feel like we hadn't been back in years. We explored for a while, but it was way too hot. These kids can't handle the heat, so we made our way back toward home. We all decided on Jay's Thai Kitchen for a lunch on the way home. This place ruled. Back in Minneapolis, we all walked over to Victors for breakfast. I had been wanting to take the kids out for breakfast all summer and today was the first time it finally worked out for all of us to go. I love this place. After a warm end to the week, it was nice to have a rainy Saturday. Look how gre...
