Grandparents Visit While Scott Travels

While Scott was on yet another work trip, the kids and I took advantage of the last days of Bread and Pickle being open.

Biking with Theo can sometimes be very frustrating. He likes to yell and give up easily.

Pecan has recently discovered that we store her food in the back staircase. When we're not looking she sneaks out when you open the door and gets into her food.

The rare times Meadow and Theo play together.

Theo's new favorite breakfast is smiley breakfast. A bagel with cream cheese and a cheese omelet.

My parents were coming to help out this week with Scott being gone. I tidied up the living room.

The kids have also been willingly going outside to play lately. Mostly to have pillow fights.

My mom loved going to the Jack O' Lantern Spectacular at the Minnesota Zoo a few years ago and asked to go again.

They had a new layout this time which seemed to help with some of the overcrowding.

They had a Saja Boys song playing and all the kids in the crowd were singing along.

My parents lucked out with good weather to have dinner on the porch.

Theo used Meadow's music stand to hold his cards for Kings Corner.

The kids did really well at their school conferences so they got more ice cream at Sebastian Joe's.

The kids were off school the rest of the week while I was at work. My parents took them out to Victor's for breakfast.

I didn't have any more meals planned for the week so we went out for dinner at Pizza Luce.

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....

Snow Leads to Christmas

Last night our dining room and staircase hallway were finished and painted. I love how the color looks with the dark wood. I guess after living in places with white walls we're both pretty excited about painting our walls. We could now put our dining room back together. It snowed more than an inch for the first time all year. Brooke shoveled the last time, so I was out the door, clearing the sidewalk and driveway. I hoped that I'd have breakfast waiting for me when I got back inside, but Brooke was busy putting stuff back in the dining room. Less than a week later our house was back to normal. I also brought out all our Christmas decorations. Scott was pretty upset that breakfast wasn't made when he came back in. Brooke wanted waffles, but I thought we should use our new griddle. We planned on getting a Christmas tree, so Brooke brought out the Minnesota Growers map to find a tree farm nearby. ...

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.
