Halloween in Kingfield and an Early November Bike Ride to Minneapolis Central Library

By
Another year of Halloween trick or treating in Minneapolis. Mostly up into Kingfield this year.

This year Meadow's friend Saraphina joined us for trick or treating. 

Meadow was a mushroom witch and Theo was a bald eagle. Good job with Theo's costume Brookie.



We mostly trick or treated in Kingfield this year.




Big kitty. Meadow probably liked this yard the best.



Trick or treating out of the ghostbuster mobile was one of the highlights of the night.


We always have to include the pumpkin house on our route.

I'm partial to the eyeball house. I hope the owner is an eye doctor.



One last stop at the spooky house around the block.


The best thing about getting candy on halloween was sorting it afterwards. Scott didn't believe me that that was a thing. 

It's not a thing. But y'all can do whatever you want.

Theo helped me with breakfast this morning. 


German apple pancake and eggs. 

Homework after breakfast.


And a little bit of sewing. 

It had snowed on Halloween and Theo made a snowman. It was still hanging on a couple days later. 


After taking off the monkey bars we realized it was better having them on. 

Theo likes playing around back there. Might as well keep him on the bike.

We took a ride to the Central Library on this warm beginning to November.



It's still very much fall here.

The trees have hardly changed colors.


We hadn't been to the downtown library in awhile. Now that Meadow is reading teen books I wanted to take her to the teen section at this library. 

The teen section is no more and it moved to the children's area. 

Noooo!!!!

I clearly love going to the library.


We played for a bit before biking back home. 

After deep cleaning the good old Honda Insight, I decided to get an upholstery/carpet cleaner. Now it's time to sell our sweet, sweet Honda. 285,000 plus miles and still going strong.

I had a feeling the water would be gross. We should have bought one of these years ago. 

Chelsea got Meadow a cardboard house. It was supposed to be just for her but she has shared it with Theo too. 

I was very confused since Meadow is getting older, but I guess she did ask for it. She's grown up a lot in the last year, but she's still a little girl from time to time.

Today's goal was to clean up Meadow's art area under her bed. 

So much better. 


I would have loved having a reading nook or art area under my bed. Lucky kids.

Six Months, More Like Six Years

By
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...

G.G 70th Birthday Twin Cities Adventures

By
Originally Scott was supposed to be gone this week on a work trip. I had asked my parents if they could come to help with the kids while I was at work.  Unfortunately  I wasn't going down to shoot one of the big boat shows in Florida. On the plus side we'd get to spend time with G.G. on her 70th birthday weekend. With the trip cancelled I asked if they still wanted to come. Before they arrived Meadow made neopolitan cookies.  These were some of the best cookies we've ever made. Thanks, Meadow's cookie cookbook. The next morning Theo asked grandpa if they could snuggle together. I had plans to take my parents to a pizza farm. Since the drive was an hour away we tried to find things to do in the area. We picked up some food for a picnic and hiked at Rice Lake State Park.  I feel like this is the second time I've had a job and Brooke's taken the kids to this state park.   True story. Most of the leaves are gone near the Twin Cities, but not down here.    ...
