Errands and Pumpkins

Theo's requested breakfast. Smiley breakfast.

I bet you can guess what day it is.

It's library day, for all who celebrate. FWIW I was still in Baltimore waiting on my flight home.

When we were packing for Washington I couldn't find Meadow's raincoat anywhere. Assuming we lost it in the Boundary Waters I searched for a new one that we could get before we left for Washington State. Rain coats aren't really available this time of year so I ordered one through REI. Of course right before we left Meadow found her coat in her school backpack. I figured she could just use the one we ordered when she grew out of her current jacket. So today we picked it up.

Theo insisted on trying it on too.

Theo also convinced me to buy him a Timberwolves shirt.

How can you say no to that face?

Later in the afternoon the kids carved their pumpkins along with Meadow's friend.

Meadow's minimalist pumpkin is actually pretty good.

Theo decided for Halloween he wanted to be a skittle.

Luckily I still had some leftover fabric to convert his M&M to a Skittle.

Then we ended the night watching the Great British Baking Show.

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....

A Dog, Pride and Lake Maria

We are dog sitting Honey for a few days. Emma offered to pay us in her awesome chocolate chip cookies and New Glarus beer, so how could we refuse? Let's just say Peanut was not too thrilled with a dog in the house.

This Puzzle Just Never Ends (Plus More Bread!)

I got off Sunday for the second week in a row. While we both got up at about the same time, Brooke took forever to get dressed. I think she has too many outfits to choose from. Once up I fry some salami to go in this week's bread. We hadn't made ebelskivers in long time. We filled them chocolate chips and jam that we got from our friends Ben and Jordan. It feels like just yesterday that they stopped by post-Christmas with their cat Galaxy. Hopefully we can visit them in Seattle in the next year or so. No those aren't chocolate ebelskievers they weren't turning well and started burning. Since we were having problems with the 'skivers we decided to finish up with some waffles. Scott plans out meals for our grocery list while I clean up the kitchen. It's great to see our mixer back in action. I fixed it midway through the previous week. I meant to take photos of the repair process, but forgot. Then Scott got star...
