Theo Moves Into His Room

By
Theo's room was officially ready. Minus a few things like a bed, rug and his picture rail. But he has been ready to have his own room.

It'll do until I can get a hand to put up the picture rail.

Big pancake was requested for breakfast. 

Brooke always says that she's so bored with everything I cook. I never get sick of big pancakes.

Theo's been sleeping in an epic fort for months, so I had to make it happen in his room.

Now he's happy. 

The kids have to get their Switch time in right away in the morning. 

We had some gift cards from Christmas to use to buy more plants. I feel like every year we go too late and most things are picked over. Today seemed like a good day but I guess we were too early as not a ton of veggie plants were out yet. I also learned a lot of plants can't go outside until the low is over 50 degrees. 


We got some native plants plus some with color. Since our house is green now it kind of blends in with the trees, we need more color in the yard. 

We're going to need a lot of flowers.

Meadow was sleeping over at a friends house so I walked her over. It's too bad they don't live a little closer so she could walk over herself. 

The freeway in-between doesn't exactly help.


With Theo's room done it was time to start on Meadow's room. 

Well, I was busy sanding the other side of the house.

Not even May and I was all ready to prime. Maybe I'll get this painting done before it gets hot.

Meadow's strap adjuster on her backpack broke.

I replaced it for her. 


I spy some of our old books in the little free library. 

With Meadow gone for the night we got to treat Theo.

We decided to walk over to Nighthawks.


Theo settled for buttered noodles. Kids.

Who knows what we ate, but the food was good and the ambiance is on point.

We told Theo when we got home we would play Settler's of Catan with him. He didn't know what it was and now he's hooked. 

Catan Junior to be precise. Don't think he's ready for the adult version quite yet.

Can't wait to get his room filled up and art on the walls.

Boundary Waters Yurt Camping

By
Early in the week I found out that we had a chance to stay at a yurt in the Boundary Waters . Hipcamp's an awesome new site that helps you find pretty much any campsite. Since we didn't have any plans and we could stay in Duluth halfway we took the bait. We didn't need our tent or camp pads, so we packed a little different than normal.

Stillwater Waterfall and MN River Valley Hiking

By
  Scott had to take some sunset photos in Stillwater.  A fall color aerial 360. I hadn't been there in awhile so we tagged along. We left as soon as Meadow was done for school and headed for the St Croix Boom Site. I had heard there was a hidden waterfall and wanted to check it out. There's not a specific trail to it. From what I read you go down the stairs and take a left following the river.  I think it's an old state trail that isn't maintained and has way too much graffiti.

With Spring Comes Biking

By Anonymous
Whenever daylight savings changes I flip the mattress. (I know I'm a little late) Every new season I change the duvet cover.  Scott actually helps me this time. Yup, I'm cool like that. I was a little worried we had too much dough so we got out every pan that could be used for muffins. I was wrong, we only needed two pans. By the time we actually eat "breakfast," at least that's what Brooke calls it, Peanut has already finished most of his Organmix. I know, we spoil the little runt. Speaking of Brooke's fascination with breakfast, she will not eat anything that resembles lunch for her first meal of the day. So, even on the laziest Sunday, breakfast comes before lunch. As you can see Brooklyn really loved her muffin-fast -- even if it was already 1 p.m. While I finish up some dishes Brooke cleans the kitchen. Did you know that Brooke is a cleaning expert (really, she'll clean your house or cook for you. H...
