A Day In The Life Of Me

This is the actual time I got up this morning. It's nice having days off. 4 out of the 7 days of the week I have off.

I get out of our IKEA framed bed. With Scott gone I take advantage of the whole bed.

Everyone morning I eat my cereal and check out what's new on Facebook.

By the looks of me in the mirror I see I am in need of a shower.

I go fast because I am afraid of the bathtub falling through the floor.

I stand pondering in my makeshift closet looking for something to wear. I always complain I have no dresses when my closet is obviously stuffed with them.

Being the good girlfriend that I am I quickly clean up the room before Scott gets home.

After all the hard work I relax with a game of Beautiful Katamari

Scott finally returns after his long weekend in Milwaukee. Kitty is happy too.

We go downstairs to make lunch. It turns out someone has eaten all our pizzas.

Instead we have cereal and toaster strudels.

Scott leaves me to go to school

Its cold out so he wears his hat

He leaves me laundry to put away

I help Cevonne look for an apartment

I become quite bored

I decide to do some knitting until Scott gets back

The kitchen is a disaster area we got out for dinner. Scott seems excited.

Mmmm Chipotle

I end the night by making the little brother a mix cd

Don't let the bed you saw earlier fool you. We each sleep with our own blankets on our sides.

All in all I'd say this day was pretty boring. I promise my life is a little more interesting than this. I like the idea of this photo diary, I might start making all my posts this way.

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...

A 250th 4th of July in Three Lakes

A couple of weeks after we were last up at the cottage, you say? Not soon enough, we say. We assumed dinner would have already been done by the time we arrived so we stopped to eat at Culver's in Rhinelander. While we were eating, I got a text from my dad saying he was in Rhinelander with Chelsea at Urgent Care. I guess Viola had taken a hard fall. When we got to the cottage Daniel was just starting dinner. We hadn't seen Viola since Christmas, she's a little girl now. She was super shy around us at first. She did also just get back from the hospital. I'm not sure if I approve of fireworks the night we get there, but due to scheduling conflicts that's when Three Lakes got in their fireworks show. 2nd of July fireworks would do.

To Chippewa Falls for the Northern Wisconsin State Fair

I saw that the Northern Wisconsin State Fair was happening and we didn't have anything else planned. We booked a campsite at Lake Wissota State Park and we were on our way. We hadn't been to a county fair yet and this seemed like it might be even better. We set up camp first in case we would be back late. This was a good excuse for a quick camping trip. Plus we'd never been to Lake Wissota State Park before or Chippewa Falls, really. Since 1897 Chippewa Falls has been hosting the Northern Wisconsin State Fair. More of a super-regional county fair, Wisconsin’s other state fair started as a way for folks up north to avoid the grueling, long haul down to Milwaukee County. Our first stop was to fill up our big jug of lemonade. I think this is the 4th year of this big jug. Brooke brings a couple of our old lemonade jugs with just in case. Then you get the refill price.
