Finishing Up the Kids Rooms

Our house is really starting to come together now. 

With the kids rooms complete we could move Meadow's art supplies to her bedroom.

The porch is no longer a storage space and an actual livable space. 

When I'm productive, I tend to finish odds and ends that I've been putting off like this porch thermometer.

Can you tell the kids are excited for their rooms? The picture rail looks awesome in Theo's room.

The kids are loving having their own spaces.


We need to get some shelves for all of Meadow's collections. 

I think we have some collecting dust in the basement. I'll get to it in, well, probably fall.

Theo really wanted a Zelda rug for his video game themed room, but we weren't sure the quality would be very good for one of this size. Fun fact, we almost got this rug for our living room.

Had hoped to replace the kids sconces, but due to the old capped gas lines that are hidden under the current lights, that'll have to wait.

Now let's see which kid keeps their room cleaner now that they can't blame each other. 

We were about to go on the first big work trip of the summer. So we picked up some ramen at Rong Market in neighboring Richfield.

The kids picked lemon Oreos. The Japanese get all the best flavors.

I made a ramen with fresh veggies and mock duck from Rong's.

Meadow also picked up this new kitty ramen bowl at the market for her new favorite food. 

Even Theo had some ramen. 

The next morning I got a surprise father's day present. Thanks kiddos! This Zelda shirt was the best present ever.

Six Months, More Like Six Years

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...

Honeymoon: Duluth, Minnesota is Not Flooded. Long Live Long-Pong.

When the waitress asked for Blake's ID and he told her he was underage we were kicked out of the Thirsty Pagan. To not miss out on our favorite pizza and beer (and we had a coupon to use up) we ordered food to go. While waiting for our food we walked around the great, but sad city of Superior, Wisc. Heading directly out the door and towards the industrial waterfront this Charlie Brown block was plopped amongst the former industry.

The next morning my mom made biscuits and gravy for breakfast.  This year they were unsweetened.
