Nicollet Open Streets is Better Than Ever

After my parents came to visit the kids discovered a new cartoon channel on tv, MeTV Toons.

It's like the early days of Cartoon Network. Classic cartoons 24/7.

Sad to think that our porch mornings are coming to an end for the year. 

But not yet, it's still been pretty hot this month.


On this summery fall day we went to Nicollet Open Streets. 

Well, Theo was being crabby while biking and Brooke was pointing out that we should've walked. It's Open Streets, you gotta bring a bike!

There was a Ninja Warrior course outside of Ace Hardware. Theo did this inflatable course over and over. 

This finally fixed everyones sour mood.

Meadow enjoyed the more challenging course. 

He loved this so much.




We checked out Tower Games for the first time. Cool place. Maybe we need to get into a family D&D game this winter.

We made it all the way down to 46th and Nicollet and then made our way back.



Theo had been crabby all day. We dropped the kids off at home and walked over to Pat's Tap for a quick drink.

Dates are back on after we found out that the kids can indeed survive with Meadow as a babysitter for short periods. 

We came back and I finished painting the last few bits I had missed putting a second coat on. Finished. Well except for caulking next spring around the windows and painting the garage.

Meadow has been really into perler beads lately. 


I convinced Scott to do another outdoor movie. I keep thinking it will be our last one and then it's still warm the following weekend.

Inside Out 2 was on streaming so we had to watch.

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....

Camping The Driftless

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.

You Can Still Garden in the Condo Life

Good morning, Theo! Good morning Minneapolis.
