GG and Grandpa Come to Watch the Kiddos on the Last Week of School

Scott was going to be traveling again for work, the kids had their last week of school and I needed to be at work so I asked my parents to help out.

On Sunday morning we stopped at the Minneapolis Farmers Market.

I would've been sad if I hadn't gotten to spend some time with the in-laws. But I didn't need to fly out for my job for a few days.

We thought these overalls were cute for Meadow.

Before I traveled to Chicago, Mr. Mike and I replaced our sink.

I mainly needed his help mounting the sink correctly. I actually had this idea when I was planning on installing this.

There was a cross beam attached to the studs, so we were able to connect the backer plate to that and the stud.

Meanwhile, I caught Theo playing with his Eldrador toys outside.

Now all it needs is some paint and caulk.

The bathroom is really coming together.

We picked up a pair of massive tenderloins at the farmers market and with the help of my brother via text, we seared them on our Akorn grill.

Yum.

I had hoped to eat outside but the weather said otherwise.

Whenever it rains, this tree loves to hang low.

I guess when we're not around Pecan will sit on anyone's lap.

We had "Grandpa" tacos for dinner per the kids request.

Then we headed over to my dad's new favorite popcorn store, Tom's Popcorn Shop.

Last day of school!

Chicago Chrismukkah + Michigander Xmas

Before heading out on our trip we let the kids open their Christmas gifts from us. A knitted sweater for Theo and a kitty dress for Meadow (I fixed the straps for her) both made by me. I wanna a sweater. Scott got them new compact sleeping bags. We all got smaller sleeping bags this year and we'll now have a lot more room in our car. This year we had talked about hosting my family at the cottage. Then meeting up in Milwaukee, then meeting in Chicago. But in the end we made stops in Chicago and Lowell this Christmas. We left on a Sunday which was nice to have a few days to prepare. On the way down to Chicago we stopped at our favorite roadside restaurant, Foster Cheese Haus. We had plans to break up our drives so we didn't have to rush like we normally do. We had made it just before the cheese haus was set to close for the winter. Just not enough folks stop here in winter and snowmobile season is becoming shorter and shorter this far so...

I Go to Oregon and They Go to Cottage

I had to get back from Little Chute just to fly out to Oregon for another shoot out there. This was after also doing an overnight shoot in Worthington, MN. Meanwhile, we had left Meadow in Little Chute during the week. Theo and I headed to the cottage to pick her up. Still winter up here. Theo looks so cute in the Stormy Kromer hat. There's still ice on the lake with a few open spots of water.

A Weekend with Grandpoppy Tuska and Nanna

Friday We decided to break up our drive to Milwaukee by camping halfway. Instead of rushing Friday morning we left right after I was done with work on Thursday. Scott texted me as I was leaving work with the idea. By the time I got home he had everything ready. We had hoped to camp at Devil's Lake, but we were worried we would get there and it would be full. We settled on nearby Rocky Arbor State Park. For being so close to Wisconsin Dells the park was practically empty.
