Let's Go Play in the Sand...and then the Snow

Oh, these two.

Theo is suddenly really good at eating with a spoon.

He's even better at having tons of food on the ground.

I told Meadow if she put her laundry away she could play on the iPad. Little girl has style.




We kept on saying we should go somewhere, but for some reason it just kept on being put off.

These two were cute in their fort.

Eventually we made it out of the house to the MN Zoo. 

It was only open for two more hours, but at least we weren't stuck at home.


Meadow wanted to make sure I got a pictures of the purple starfish.


She just stared and stared at the seahorses.

They have a giant indoor sandbox.

This is the main reason we came here.

Theo was having the time of his life. He's going to love going to the beach this summer.

The kiddo was doing really well, but eventually he started eating sand.



He must've thought the shovel was a giant spoon.


We stayed until we were kicked out.

We made a stop for some groceries before heading home.

When we got home we saw the neighbors building a snowfort. Meadow joined them right away.


Not so sure about the soup.

I guess the Lebanese lentil soup was a bit too spicy for this guy.

Not spicy hot but lots of flavors spicy.

We were eating dinner and our neighbor boys and their dad were still hard at work with Meadow's help.

We spent the rest of the evening researching purchasing a new family bike.

We found a heck of a deal on a used Yuba Mundo Lux 21 speed cargo bike (version 4.2, not the newest one) for the same price as their dumbed down 7 speed version of the same bike.

When we were looking for said bike on the interwebs we heard a loud noise outside. We've had so much snow that our plow guy had run out of room. This driving snow plow looked like a contraption out of Beauty and the Beast.

Backcountry Camping with Kids in Theodore Roosevelt National Park

Day 1  Back in May I stumbled upon Theodore Roosevelt National Park. I had no idea there was a National Park in North Dakota and that it was the northern end of the Badlands. Usually our summer vacations coincide with Scott's work trips. Since he didn't have any this summer I thought we should take advantage of actually taking a vacation. What, my workcations are always classics? I suppose a second real vacation this year wouldn't hurt. We definitely have more time than normal. As long as we took Covid-19  precautions and avoided people. We finally settled on a time to go. Blake joined us so we borrowed our dad's van so we could ride together. Scott had just driven from Michigan the day before. Blake had met my parents in Wisconsin to get the van and then drove from Duluth to pick us up. I offered to drive since I literally only drive twice a month.  I was still pretty tired from a long drive home. Since we were near Fergus Falls we had to stop by the abandoned state ho...

With Spring Comes Biking

Whenever daylight savings changes I flip the mattress. (I know I'm a little late) Every new season I change the duvet cover.  Scott actually helps me this time. Yup, I'm cool like that. I was a little worried we had too much dough so we got out every pan that could be used for muffins. I was wrong, we only needed two pans. By the time we actually eat "breakfast," at least that's what Brooke calls it, Peanut has already finished most of his Organmix. I know, we spoil the little runt. Speaking of Brooke's fascination with breakfast, she will not eat anything that resembles lunch for her first meal of the day. So, even on the laziest Sunday, breakfast comes before lunch. As you can see Brooklyn really loved her muffin-fast -- even if it was already 1 p.m. While I finish up some dishes Brooke cleans the kitchen. Did you know that Brooke is a cleaning expert (really, she'll clean your house or cook for you. H...

Home Sweet Home

I finally made the trip back home this weekend for my cousins wedding that I barely know. Well that's 3 down only 30+ more to go to. I really wish I had the whole week off, it didn't even feel like I went home it went by so fast. We left late Friday night and early on Sunday. Scott finally met my mother, I had been putting it off for a very long time. I think he understands why. I won't be back until Christmas but at least I'll be there long enough to see everyone. I did at least get to see Cevonne and Amanda so it wasn't a complete waste of time. I look like I'm living in the wrong decade. School has started. I hate my online class, I hope I never have to take a class online again, it's so impersonal and so much work. At least it's only art history so I know what I'm doing. My other class has only 6 people in it. We design menus. This week at Menards I get to make up my own schedule, so whenever I'm bored I can go to work.
