Welcome Home, Pecan the Cat

By
Both kids said they wanted to make their own valentines this year. Meadow and I picked up some supplies and away they went.

After Meadow successfully completed her "Don't-be-so-shy Cat Challenge" we finally adopted a new kitty, Pecan! Our first cat was named Peanut, so when our new little gal was named Pecan by the Rescue Crew, we had to keep the name.

Petting her cat in her cat pajamas of course.

Another Hello Fresh breakfast.

If you get their waffles do not touch them with bare hands after cooking. You will burn your hand on the sugar coating.  

I hadn't realized how many kids were in their classes until we started these valentines. Their poor teachers.

Isn't she beautiful? I've always wanted to own a tortoise shell cat since we had a neighborhood sweetie that would always stop by our first house over north.

Good job kiddos.

The kids were playing some game where one was a royal and needed a palm leaf to fan them.

Meanwhile, I stripped all the painted hardware and painted the trim in Theo's room.

The kids kept on going back and forth between playing the Switch and Valentine's Card crafting.

Meadow and I went over to Hunt and Gather to get decorations for Theo's upcoming birthday party. He decided he wanted a math themed birthday. I recalled Hunt and Gather having vintage flash cards. We dug and dug and didn't find too many.

This place is still fun to look through.

Meadow needs this.

Those are not numbers.

We then went over to Five Below to get flash cards and other party decor.

We found these giant playing cards there and Meadow had to get them. Trouble is finding a spot big enough to play.


We did some puzzling before watching our next Ghibli movie Only Yesterday on Max.

Still can't believe they changed the name from HBO Max.

Meadow and Theo are pretty clever with this Duplo phone holder.

Always lounging.

Later that week on Valentines Day we actually got snow.

So, I had to take pictures. This was the first decent snowfall since early January

This is what Minneapolis is supposed to look like in the winter.




Even the messy yards and 36th Avenue car sewer look great.

Six Months, More Like Six Years

By
Approaching the 11th hour of this Sunday we finally rolled out of bed. Brooke and I made a night out of our six month since being married. In a way we could be celebrating six plus years together. I met the little lady above in February 2006. Now we garden together. We had a lovely night indeed: dinner at Red Stag and drinks at Aster Cafe.  I went outside to show Brooke where our new boulevard tree was going to be planted. We found a love letter in our bushes. Brooke couldn't read it, so we let it dry on one of the radiators.  The first page was mostly apologizing for not writing and then the second page turned sour with lots of swear words.  We drove downtown to eat brunch. We parked across from this rare small pre-1950s building that has somehow survived in downtown Minneapolis's ongoing urban renewal. We decided to eat at La Belle Crepe since I picked up this for our post-wedding breakfast back on that October day. This creperie is...

G.G 70th Birthday Twin Cities Adventures

By
Originally Scott was supposed to be gone this week on a work trip. I had asked my parents if they could come to help with the kids while I was at work.  Unfortunately  I wasn't going down to shoot one of the big boat shows in Florida. On the plus side we'd get to spend time with G.G. on her 70th birthday weekend. With the trip cancelled I asked if they still wanted to come. Before they arrived Meadow made neopolitan cookies.  These were some of the best cookies we've ever made. Thanks, Meadow's cookie cookbook. The next morning Theo asked grandpa if they could snuggle together. I had plans to take my parents to a pizza farm. Since the drive was an hour away we tried to find things to do in the area. We picked up some food for a picnic and hiked at Rice Lake State Park.  I feel like this is the second time I've had a job and Brooke's taken the kids to this state park.   True story. Most of the leaves are gone near the Twin Cities, but not down here.    ...
