Snow, Snow and More Snow (and Some Sledding)

By
What started out as a lame winter of mild temps and no snow turned into record snowfall.

At least it would before the month of February.



On one of the snow days we took a walk to Curran's for pie.

It seems like less and less people put up Christmas decorations, but the ones that do take their merry time to take them down.

Pie a la mode or should I say pie with a side of ice cream. 

Cheap pie and ice cream. A perfect snowy day treat.

Brooke and I both went for the cream pies (french silk and banana cream) and Meadow got slice of cherry. My dad would've loved this place.

Meadow also got to do a little coloring. One these days we'll actually eat a meal at Curran's

A few days later I had an easy breakfast with my babes. 

I woke up to this very stylish gal.


She sure can strike a pose.

My old baby photo album is falling apart so I looked into ordering a new one.

We didn't do much this day, but we ended up eating leftover spaghetti.

On Sunday morning we decided on waffles for breakfast.

Theo was here.

The kids had strawberry syrup. Basically mashed strawberries on our waffles.

My healthier and very filling breakfast.

Is it really?

I tried making up for the indulgent breakfast by getting a workout in on the Wii.

While Theo napped Scott and Meadow went out in another snowstorm to go sledding.

It was the perfect weather to go sledding and the Lyndale Farmstead Bowl was packed.



Even with the busy crowd there's plenty of places to head down this hill.

They don't call it the Bowl for no reason.


Brooke texted me that Theo was up and about, but Meadow wanted a break so we met up halfway.

Once Theo was ready we joined them.

He's still not impressed with the winter. Next year buddy.


Theo fell out of his sled twice and landed face first in the snow. Time to head back.

Back at home Meadow pretended she was papa.

This is her Scott face.

I've recently taught myself how to darn socks. I've been learning lots of ways to mend clothes lately. I can't believe it took me this long.

Theo much preferred the confines of home and Meadow's fort.


Since coming back from New Years Eve Meadow has been doing great at having dinner with us every night. 

That night's meal: a classic take on shrimp and grits. I love hominy.

Stillwater Waterfall and MN River Valley Hiking

By
  Scott had to take some sunset photos in Stillwater.  A fall color aerial 360. I hadn't been there in awhile so we tagged along. We left as soon as Meadow was done for school and headed for the St Croix Boom Site. I had heard there was a hidden waterfall and wanted to check it out. There's not a specific trail to it. From what I read you go down the stairs and take a left following the river.  I think it's an old state trail that isn't maintained and has way too much graffiti.

Yardwork, Ikea and Pumpkins

By
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....

Over the River & Through the Woods to Grandmothers House We Clean

By
My mom had wanted us to come down to my grandparents home to clean for months. Unfortunately a busy summer had kept us away. We finally made it a week after our honeymoon ended. We slept at my parents home in Cudahy before heading down to Racine. We got home from our trip on Tuesday and left for Milwaukee on Thursday. It was almost like an extended vacation. Before leaving the cities we stopped and had dinner at Foxy Falafel. It was pretty good and I like that she uses sprouted chickpeas.  I never knew my grandparents on Poppyseed Tuska's side so Grandma and Grandpa Wojcik were a special part of my life. They both passed away last year after living nearly 90 wonderful years.  Their home was always a wonderfully warm and inviting place. The perfect place to spend your Christmas Eve in front of a fire place. Since it's going to be sold, Brooke and I took on the massive task of organizing and cleaning the home. When Scott told me h...
