Hanging with Caribbeans in the Dead of Winter

By
Good morning sunshine.

Someone learned how to crawl last week.

Meadow is the queen of stuffed animals.

We decided to take out most of these since she wants to sleep or chew everyone.

I asked Scott to make breakfast again. 

It's what I do.

Meadow really only likes to be in the jumper for 5 minutes. I wish she would stay in it longer. 

Brooke and the babe were keeping an eagle eye on my cooking.

We hadn't had aebelskievers in a long time. Scott complained that they were just complicated pancakes and complained the whole time while he made them.

Because they all burnt. I soon realized I forgot the cooking spray.

These are pretty delicious. They're kind of like little filled-pancake donuts.

During breakfast Cevonne texted asking if we wanted to come over.

Meadow waking up at the same time every night has made me a zombie.

Lately Meadow has discovered shadows. She is easily entertained when I make shadow puppets. Today she realized she can make them too. 

She kept trying to catch them. 

That's a creepy shadow little bear. She's going to frighten herself.

Since starting solids her poops have been thicker and much more explosive. We usually have to change her clothes 3 times a day. This time she needed a bath. 

After Meadow took a nap we headed through the crazy blowing snow to Cevonne and Jose's. 

Madeline was very interested in Meadow. 

While the guys made food in the kitchen us girls Skyped with Amanda. We got to finally "meet" Alayna.

We brought over chips and avocados and made a massive amount of gaucamole. 

Beer and guac. Not a bad dinner.

We continued to Skype with Amanda. Her sound wasn't working so she had to type out her responses. 


While Scott was making gaucamole, Jose made pineapple upside down cake. I have never actually made pineapple upside down cake. Jose perfected it quite well. 

I could really go for this as I type.

The wind was pretty bad and it was getting really cold. We debated on sleeping over.

This winter is the worst ever.

We all watched Super Why before Madeline went to bed. 

JT conked out while Madeline was enthralled.

Meadow fell asleep too. After awhile we decided to brave the weather and head home.

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....

Camping The Driftless

By
Last month we went to a birthday party at Choo Choo Bob's Train Store . Since then Meadow (or should I say Scott and I) have been hooked on getting Meadow more trains and tracks. I found this awesome deal on Craigslist for a giant bag of trains for only $20. The best part of being a parent is getting to live out your childhood dreams. Craigslist makes that a lot easier.

Dakotas Road Trip: Menahga to Pierre

By
Day 1 Normally Scott does his annual New York Mills trip the last week of school, but this year it got pushed to the week after.  That meant the family could tag along. We returned to Spirit Lake Resort & Motel in Menahga. Nice rooms, super affordable and now home to a sweet ice cream shop. I read that there was a playground next door. I guess this was it.  Come on you got a beautiful private beach right next to the bigger city one. They have way more fun by water anyway.
