A Lull in March

Theo has resorted to sleeping in his giant fort that he made. He says he's sleeping in here until his bedroom is finished. I guess he's over sharing a room forever.


It is the best fort ever.

It's a really good fort and we've been modifying to make it even better.  

Chocolate waffles as requested by Meadow and Theo.

Marina had left behind a mask for Theo.


It was plain so Meadow painted one for him.


I guess it's about time we take down the birthday decorations. But Theo loves his new mask.

I'm wrapping up work on Theo's room. Might have to wait until Mr. Mike visits to put up the picture rail.

I didn't plan on doing any work in Theo's closet, but clearly I changed my mind. Scrapped off the wall paper, patched all the cracks and now am finishing up the paint job.


Meadow and I had a date night at the ballet. We got to take the U of M tunnels to get to the Northrop.


I've been wanting to take Meadow to a ballet for years. Finally got tickets for Giselle. Meadow is so fancy.




With Brooke and Meadow on a girls night at the ballet, Theo and I played a game of Smath.

Yardwork, Ikea and Pumpkins

My new parents-in-law got us a dehydrator for the wedding. Knowing we were going to be cleaning up the garden and going to farmer's market, we took a gander at our millionth kitchen device during breakfast.   Scott added granola to his oatmeal.  The oatmeal was rather bland, just the way Brooke likes it.   Scott was actually cleaning up so I had to take a quick photo of him as proof.  Scott told me he was, "putting a blanket down for Peanut," while singing. During the winter months peanut needs a warm place to peer through the window. Seeing as it was nearly November, I setup his blanket for him. Seeing as the farmers market season is dwindling down, we headed to the market...once again. The close proximity to the cities central farmer's market has to be one of the best assets of living in NoMi. We were both amazed by the bounty of produce still on sale. We quickly filled up our first bag and took it back to the car....

The Biggest Maple Tree in Minnesota

On the night before St Patricks Day, Meadow made a leprechaun trap.  Maybe next year Meadow.   Meadow was having a rough morning and needed a hug.  She wanted to play Zelda all day long. The rest of us wanted to go on a hike. We spend so much time getting these kids to get outside and once they are outside they don't want to come back in. Scott chose this weeks hike based off his current love of old growth forests. Wolsfeld Woods SNA just west of the cities in Medina. It's home to the tallest sugar maple in the state.

Camping Round 5: This Time With Friends at Mille Lacs and A Detour to Stillwater

We had planned on going camping again, but hadn't decided where to go when some Northside friends invited us to join them at Father Hennepin State Park. That's the Father Hennepin Park on the southern tip of Lake Mille Lacs and not the park along the river in Minneapolis.
