Backyard Ice Skating, Pancake Bundt and a Packers Sushi Saturday

Below freezing temps means ice molds.
 
I'd make more but I know it will just warm up soon. 

After a week of single digit temps the forecast was set for temps into the 30s and then 40s. Boo hiss.

Meadow finally decided she was brave enough to get her ears pierced. We made an appointment at Rowan at the MOA and she actually went through with it. 

Makes me want to get my ears repierced. 

Wait you let your ears close up? Sometimes I miss things.

Yeah, when I had babies that pull on things. 

For breakfast the next day I made a pancake bundt. Theo couldn't wait to eat it I guess. 


I'm not sure I'd call it a pancake bundt, but it was good and you put maple syrup sauce on top of it.

After breakfast, more skating. 

The kids and I have been skating throughout the week knowing the rink might get a bit mushy in a week or so.

The sun melts the ice slightly and it basically resurfaces itself. 

Unless you're a perfectionist, you don't really need to resurface all that often. Now if we got a decent snowfall, that would all change.



We have a little sitting area setup by the backdoor for when we need a break.

Our hockey sticks are up at the cottage, but a little broom hockey will do.



Theo likes to see how fast he can get across the ice without his trainer. I guess he forgot to stop and flipped over the rink. 

I thought I had a video, but I stopped recording just as he went overboard.

Theo wanted to play with papa when we went back inside.

I picked out our old-school Playskool Vactionland.


Almost all the Christmas decorations are put away which means it's time to take out the Valentine's decor. 

Theo loves putting on my clothes. What's up with kiddos doing that?

And nimming his blankie pants. 

Everyone else was busy playing video games, so I started reorganizing our linen closet. I forgot to take a photo of the before. It was very messy and confusing. 

Wait, I was making dinner.

Somehow homemade sushi has become Brooke's least favorite meal. But the kiddos love it. So, IDK?

Theo watched the whole Packers game. I'm so proud of my little guy. Too bad the 49ers took the lead at last second. But heck guys, we've got Jordan Love and we'll rule the NFC North for another decade.

I ran to Ikea quick to pick up more bins. Looks like I could use a few more still.

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 ...

Honeymoon: Madeline Island Without a Kayak? At Least We Brought Bikes.

We made it safely to Bayfield without getting attacked by any bears . I think that's because of my wily driving skills.
