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.

If You Loved Me, Would You Buy Me A Rocketship?

Father and sister stopped by for the night to help out with the big move. The more things we bring in to the new house the more I like it. I'm really in love with my room. Plus I have a closet now, it's also my hallway. I find it harder to say goodbye to people. Even when I do it fast I seem to be affected by it later. I think we got rid of the hobo for good. We were getting sick of all his friends stopping over at odd hours of the day so we made a sign. I think it's helped. I miss Scott a lot a lot a lot.

Honeymoon: Back to the Cottage

Day 11 We decided to turn the second half of our honeymoon into a relaxing time at my parents cottage in northern Wisconsin. It was weird sleeping in the cottage after being in a small tent for a week. My dad called to see if we made it in okay and I mentioned it felt too open and civilized being back at the cottage. He said, "Why don't you pitch a tent out back then?" I was OK with the bed. I slept like a baby. Who knew we had this many shoes with us? Immediately when I woke up I did laundry and cleaned out our car. After setting up camp so many times we started shoving things back in without putting them away. I wanted to get everything back in their right place. Scott picked on me for working instead of relaxing. Later I found him reorganizing a cupboard. There was no order to there canned food. Why would you have soup in line with canned mushrooms? We enjoyed pancakes for breakfast. I know Scott was getting sick of oatmeal. We ...
