Every morning must start with Nintendo Switch time.  Every morning must always start with porch breakfast.  Theo told me he wants to start learning how to cook and bake. We started our first lesson with making scrambled eggs.  Also Theo decided earlier this week he wanted his haircut. He was sick of his hair blowing in his eyes and touching his neck. He also mentioned that a couple kids at school asked if he was a boy or girl. 

I'm still trying to make meals with what we have. I found buckwheat and brown rice flour in the freezer. So pancakes it is. I also needed oat flour. Thank you grain mill. Not sure this grain mill is worth it since we use it four times a year. Meadow's been putting her learning tower to good use. Meadow loves to feed Peanut. She gets mad at him whenever she's trying to pour food in his dish and he tries to eat whatever she already poured. I think it would be more appropriate to say Meadow likes to dump cat food in a bowl.  Pancakes with whatever fruit we had plus bacon on the side. Whenever I eat pancakes I always feel really hungry an hour later or I feel cloudy. These pancakes actually make me feel full and energized. I'm thinking we need to continue with our Sunday brunches throughout winter. Since we no longer have to rush to the farmers markets our mornings can be a little slower. We didn't have any plans for the day so I s...

Scott left us in the morning to go do a photoshoot. Meadow and I had breakfast together. While eating breakfast with my parents in Duluth my mom could't believe Meadow could eat a whole banana. I explained to her that she eats a banana, toast and oatmeal, granola or eggs for breakfast everyday. The night before we went to Ikea to get this step stool. We have plans for using it for Meadow as you will see later. While Meadow finished eating I started putting it together. As soon as Scott got back we headed to the Farmers Market for one last time this year. Brooke wanted me to go to the market by myself after the engagement shoot, but what's the fun in that? It's amazing how much produce you can still get on a 39 degree day in mid November. We got a bunch of staples to get us by for a few weeks of groceries: carrots, potatoes, cauliflower to name a few. When we got home Peanut tried to trick me into feeding him. It's his favorite pastime...

We haven't turned our heat on yet so the mornings have been chilly. If it ain't November the heat isn't going on. I've started having Meadow help me prepare breakfast. I cut up vegetables and she moves them over onto a plate or bowl. She does a pretty good job.  Brooke has become a potatoes o'brien expert. She throws in whatever else we may have in fridge to add some variety. We have one sippy cup we use for milk and it's usually dirty because its annoying to clean. I just give her a glass and straw then she drinks out of the cup once she can't get everything with the straw. Meadow still has an elevated lead level. Vitamin C among other things is good to mitigate the lead. Hopefully next time around she will be in the clear. Today I had planned to do a lot of cooking and cleaning up the yard. I was to make this massive head of cabbage into sauerkraut. I got started early. Meadow helped me with dishes. Really she just pla...
