Play it Again and a Library in January

Every once and a while Theo remembers I got them Switch Sports as a reward. No one ever wants to play as a family. 😭

I was out late the night before and feeling it this morning.

It must be time to go to a random Hennepin County Library.

I can only be lazy for so long.

This return pile is small compared to normal.

We also needed to get Theo a helmet for skating, so even I tagged along.

Next stop Play It Again Sports. His stick at home is for street hockey, so we also picked a wood stick up for him.

Meadow also got some new ski poles and I picked up some rollerblades for myself.

When we were in Chinatown over Christmas, Theo bought his favorite make your own gummy kit.

Brooke and I went for a walk and picked up some groceries from the co-op.

Since returning from the cottage I haven't managed to get the kids to skate.

Still the best Christmas present ever, Theo?

Our Wedding

Brooke and I aren't traditionalists. We didn't want to sit through a half-hour ceremony, but we also didn't think eloping was the answer. One thing that we did do was spend the night before the wedding in separate houses. Even though Scott came with me to pick out my dress I still didn't want him to see me before the wedding. I had to keep one tradition. I woke up early to meet Brooke's dad at the Theodore Wirth Picnic Pavilion, only to find out that he was meeting me a couple hours later. I ended up getting most of the decorations over to the venue with my dad, sister and Dennis. Scott had texted me in the morning, "I'm supposed to merry your dad right now right?". I was like, merry my dad? What he meant to type, but autocorrect corrected for him was meet. Since Brooke came over to the venue to help, I spent most of the rest of the day with Blake, Colin and Olger. We ate some Pair of Dice Pizza and...

Christmas

For the two of us Christmas means a lot from-scratch cooking. It also usally means a trip to Little Chute and Cudahy, our hometowns in Wisconsin. Since we weren't going home, my parents were going to come up for the weekend, but my mom wasn't feeling well at the last moment. With Scott having to work Christmas Eve and me having to work on Monday we decided driving home wouldn't be worth it. So on Christmas Eve I prepped our Christmas dinner while Scott was helping all the procrastinators. But the show had to go on. It was going to be a smaller occasion, but you can't just ignore Christmas after all. I woke up Christmas morning at 6 am. Not because I was excited to open my gifts, but to bring out the challah and cinnamon rolls so they could proof. For the last five Christmases we've opened presents with Brooke's whole family. This was the first time in my life that I haven't spent Christmas with my famil...

Honeymoon: Madeline Island Without a Kayak? At Least We Brought Bikes.

We made it safely to Bayfield without getting attacked by any bears . I think that's because of my wily driving skills.
