More Hockey on Scott's Actual Birthday Back in Minneapolis

I don't know how parents have multiple kids in sports. Two practices and one game a week already feels like a lot. 

Theo's game this week was at the Northeast Ice Arena. One of my favorite things about Minneapolis are all of the indoor and outdoor ice rinks.

Theo is doing so much better from when he started. Though he does like to go out whenever there is a line change. 

Waiting patiently for his shot.



I'm so jealous that Theo gets this opportunity to play hockey and it's not expensive. Plus it's really cool that it's a co-ed league.

There was supposed to be four teams playing this year but one team backed out. Today's game they split one team into two so all three teams could play.

Our little goalie is a trooper.

Theo continues to be great on defense and working on his offensive of skills. 

Since we were in Northeast and I needed more dishwashing bars, we stopped by my favorite store: Tare Market

It's kind of like the bulk section at the co-op or Whole Foods.

Everything they sell is biodegradable or recyclable. 

But with a lot more cleaning products.

G.G. and Grandpa sent me a kringle from Uncle Mike's for my birthday. My in-laws rule!

Earlier this week, Theo had his teammate and friend Georgie over to skate. They set up their own skills course. I guess Theo wanted to teach Meadow too.

Theo and I spent most of my birthday skating on the backyard rink. He now will even go out on his own and skate.

After his first practice we were worried he'd never want to skate again. I'm so glad he's been enjoying it. 



Show off!

I got some presents of course. A griddle crepe kit and a wall mount for our plug-in hybrid charger.

Don't forget the cover for your grill. 

Of course we went back out for another round of skating before dark.

For dinner we got food at one of my favorite spots, Marhaba Grill for their Mediterranean buffet.

Usually this place is packed. It was so sad to see how few people were here. 

Many of our Minneapolis neighbors are so afraid of leaving their houses. Eating out might mean they will be picked up by ICE. Can't wait for this insanity to end.

It may not look pretty, but it's the best damn buffet in the Twin Cities.

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....

After we dropped Meadow off at school on Friday morning I made some last second plans to camp in southern Minnesota this weekend. Once we picked up Meadow we headed towards Red Wing. Red Wing Brewing has some really great pizza. The crust is something special. So we stopped there for dinner. Getting back to pre-COVID life is a bit strange, but we're getting used to it.

Gardening Mama (or How to Hang Out with High School Friends)

  Some of Scott's friends from high school that he hasn't seen in like 7 years were stopping by later to see our house. We quickly cleaned up the place, breaking one of our favorite mugs on the way.
