Bobilikin Woods and a Bike Ride

It's been warmer out so Theo and I have started going on adventures everyday.

I've been playing Zelda: Breath of the Wild on our Nintendo Switch and Theo loves watching the game. I talked him into going to the woods near our house by calling it the Bobilikin Woods (actually bokoblin, but that's how he says it). Theo was instantly excited with the prospect of destroying some goblins in the woods.

He brought along a Duplo as his Sheikah Slate. Just like Link.

He loves to pretend to be Link everyday since he got his sword and shield.

Theo walked all the way across Lyndale Park and over to the bird sancturary.

In his element.

When we got home he fell asleep on the couch. He was pooped.

The next day we went back out again.

This rock became a mysterious shrine.

While Theo was hunting for bobilikins it was the perfect excuse to travel some of the trails that had been created through the bird sanctuaries marsh and ponds.

Many bobilikins were destroyed and the korok woods was found at last. It was fun.

You think you're ready to go home and then he finds some rocks in the neighboring Peace Garden to climb.

Meadow hasn't been as into reading as she used to be. But she still gets excited to go on our trips to the library. She mentioned there was an illustrated version of the Harry Potter series. She still isn't confident in reading books without pictures.

Been then she started to blaze through this version.

Theo also prefers picture books.

It was finally above 20 degrees and even reached 40. With the streets cleared of snow and ice it was time for a bike ride.

Theo wanted to bring his master sword along for the ride.

We had no real plan on which route to take and meandered through neighborhoods.

The kids spotted a playground but it was mostly under melted snow. Meadow fell out of this twisty globe into a deep puddle so it was time to go home.

Whoops.

She was soaked from the fall, but was tough all the way home.

After going through our old files I went through our drawer of old film photos. That's when I remembered a bin with more photos. I plan to put all these into albums. It's a big project so I'll probably do one a winter season.

Brooke was so cool. Ha.

We ended the night watching the new Tom and Jerry movie. Meadow drew the characters while watching.

Gift Cards are for Spending

Thanks to daylight savings I got up extra early today. For breakfast I had eggs. You thought it was going to be oatmeal didn't you? Scott was working his early shift at work so I worked on chores. I hate when he works when I have off, but in a way I get more done with him gone. Like dishes. Our last two pumpkins from our garden. Before they could start going bad I roasted them in the oven. I then soaked the seeds in salty water for roasting later. This week I decided to clean out our buffet drawers. Each drawer was turning into a junk drawer and needed to be cleaned. I first took everything out to go through what I needed and what could be thrown away/recycled. I pureed the pumpkin to be used for future use. Like pumpkin woopie pies, mmm. While cleaning out the drawers I stumbled upon some items left behind from the previous owners. Now ...

RV Spring Break: Savannah to Miami

Oh, hey, we made it to Savannah. Time for a nice stroll (well, as leisurely as Brooke will allow). I was pretty excited to be going to Savannah, even if we could only stay for a few hours. The tricky thing with having an RV is finding a place to park. The Fahm Avenue parking lot had RV spots and then we walked over to the historic district. Meadow should go to the Savannah College of Art and Design. You know, if she can get a scholarship. Savannah is just as cool in person as you think. I should have done at least one house tour. I had to embarrass Meadow with taking her photo in front of the first Girl Scout Headquarters. Brooke got me to go into the beautiful Catholic church right in the historic district. I don't think I've ever been in a Cathedral Basilica. Usually it's one or the other. It seems like every few blocks there was a perfect square. We should build all cities like this. For lunch we went to Savannah Smokehouse . We ended up getting the sampler for 2, whi...

Watching Paint Dry

Scott worked his morning shift. Again (grr). I have breakfast alone. Again. If this keeps up I may need to start a side blog about cleaning, because today I did just that. I started with cleaning out our built-in bench storage. When Scott brought back a bunch of things from his parents/grandparents this summer he took with him these giant *** speakers. Not only are they huge they take over the bench not allowing easy access to the storage units. They're awesome, but I might get rid of them soon. Pretty clever craftsmanship they had back then. It turns out nothing was in this one. Hmm now that I'm thinking about it this would be a good place to keep all my yarn. The other one had some cords and Peanut. I also found more blankets and flue cleaner. We wanted to use this to clean the chimney, but it's probably best that we hire a professional. Since that went quickly I decided to tackle our breakfast nook stor...
