My actual birthday happened to be on the first Friday of Lent. You know what that means, church fish fry!
One of our favorites is at St Albert the Great in south Minneapolis.
Usually we have to wait for a little while up in the sanctuary, but we got downstairs to the hall super quick.
All the gray hairs were out for the night. Can't blame them.
The kids usually opt for spaghetti.
The best part about this place is you get to pick two desserts.
They actually let you have as many you wanted this year. In past they had two tickets per person, but not this year!
The same gregarious priest as always was keeping the crowd entertained. I swear he wasn't back last year, but it was good to see him back doing his best.
Theo got chosen to pick the winning numbers for the 50/50 raffle.
The priest gave us a hard time for not getting a raffle ticket.
Don't worry about me. Just daydreaming about a back screen porch like this.
I made Brookie a brookie brownie.
Could've used more brownie to be honest.
It still was very tasty.
In preparation for our upcoming trip I noticed the kids had grown out of almost all of their outdoor gear. Meadow and I hit up some shops for new rain coats, rain boots and hiking boots.
I'm glad Theo is still not afraid to wear rainbows.
With the new uber rainbow flag, I think you'll be fine for a while.
Meadow had hurt Theo so got her Chromebook taken away for the weekend. Instead of complaining she kept herself busy working on her rug hooking.
I've been going for walks after dropping off Theo at school and taking pics of facades in the neighborhood. This time I went along with Brooke in the evening.
I love when people match their little free libraries to their homes.
I love classic brick plex apartments. Four, five or in this case six units on one lot.
Meadow asked me for help reorganizing and cleaning her bedroom. We got rid of a lot of stuff.
Much better.
At least for a week or two...
During the week we went on another walk, this time down 1st Avenue South.
This pagoda roof is rad.
Think I'll just keep taking pics of the hood until work picks up in the spring and summer.
