A Lull in March

By
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.

Camping The Driftless

By
Last month we went to a birthday party at Choo Choo Bob's Train Store . Since then Meadow (or should I say Scott and I) have been hooked on getting Meadow more trains and tracks. I found this awesome deal on Craigslist for a giant bag of trains for only $20. The best part of being a parent is getting to live out your childhood dreams. Craigslist makes that a lot easier.

Backcountry Camping with Kids in Theodore Roosevelt National Park

By
Day 1  Back in May I stumbled upon Theodore Roosevelt National Park. I had no idea there was a National Park in North Dakota and that it was the northern end of the Badlands. Usually our summer vacations coincide with Scott's work trips. Since he didn't have any this summer I thought we should take advantage of actually taking a vacation. What, my workcations are always classics? I suppose a second real vacation this year wouldn't hurt. We definitely have more time than normal. As long as we took Covid-19  precautions and avoided people. We finally settled on a time to go. Blake joined us so we borrowed our dad's van so we could ride together. Scott had just driven from Michigan the day before. Blake had met my parents in Wisconsin to get the van and then drove from Duluth to pick us up. I offered to drive since I literally only drive twice a month.  I was still pretty tired from a long drive home. Since we were near Fergus Falls we had to stop by the abandoned state ho

Aurora Peeping at the Cottage on Mother's Day Weekend

By
I had PTO to use up so we made a trip to the cottage for Mother's day weekend. It isn't too often we drive up on a Friday so fish fry was a must.  I would've stayed home and painted, but you guessed it, it was still raining. On the way we took a slight detour up to Lehman's Supper Club up in Rice Lake.  We've never ventured up here from our typical route, but it's kind of the start of Up North, which means lots of restaurants for the tourists. The kiddos got spaghetti. Of course we got the fish fry. I'd rank Lehman's as a mid to low tier supper club. Ambiance is meh. Fish was forgettable. Good salad. After reading reviews later I guess the main attraction is the entree's that include a relish tray and popovers.  But they do have a great bar. My dad has been busy working on Chelsea's bedroom upstairs. She upgraded to a queen bed and we needed to get the box spring up stairs.  It would not fit. Close, but we were really searching for a solutio
