One Last Attic Bedroom to Paint

Meadow made Theo and her Big Pancakes for breakfast. She's becoming quite the little baker and chef.

I'm not sure how little she is. I mean, yes, rather short, but she's already 9 1/2! 

Mmmm...big pancake.

Meadow loves to draw. Once in a while Theo will join. 

He needs somebody else to get him excited for art time.

We just had the final touches left to do on the walls in the attic. It was coming together very nicely. 

Just don't mention how I had bubbling in way too many places to count on this wall and had to go back and patch like 20 spots.


We decided to go with lighter colors for the other rooms since the ceilings and walls have to be all the same color. 

Makes me wish we would've went lighter in our bedroom. This looked so good.

I was working on painting this closet longer than I like. I still have to sand, patch some more and paint the other closet in our room. But for now it's out of site, out of mind.

Apparently the kiddos love black bean burgers. Make fries on the side and they'll be doubly pleased. Sometimes their fear of anything new at dinner can be frustrating (well way too often), but then they'll surprise you.

Money DOES Buy Happiness

I got a wake up call when I realized all the loans I took out for school actually went for school. I'm only working part-time at Menards now which is just enough to pay the rent and bills. My phase of being poor wasn't really a phase, but actually permanent. I took out another loan so I would have extra cash to feed me (being poor is the best diet). I won't see that money for another month which means no time off for a Christmas break. I have to wait a few more days to find out if I even get Christmas Eve off. This is by far the sadest Christmas ever for me. It doesn't even feel like Christmas. Only one house on my street put lights up, I'm used to everyone in my whole town putting up lights. Plus we don't have a tree or any decorations and we haven't had any snow yet. I did get a Christmas present from Menards, 55 dollars in Menards money and this. In two weeks someone I love and care about very deeply will be in London for 5 months and I only get to see hi...

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...
