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....

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...
