Our house is really starting to come together now.  With the kids rooms complete we could move Meadow's art supplies to her bedroom. The porch is no longer a storage space and an actual livable space.  When I'm productive, I tend to finish odds and ends that I've been putting off like this porch thermometer. Can you tell the kids are excited for their rooms? The picture rail looks awesome in Theo's room. The kids are loving having their own spaces. We need to get some shelves for all of Meadow's collections.  I think we have some collecting dust in the basement. I'll get to it in, well, probably fall. Theo really wanted a Zelda rug for his video game themed room, but we weren't sure the quality would be very good for one of this size. Fun fact, we almost got this rug for our living room.

We borrowed a projector from Daniel for Meadow's birthday party. We tried it out the night before by using our big map as a screen.  Sometimes these kids get along and play with their toys.  Meadow actually using her 3D printer pen. The kids new rugs had arrived.  Hammock season in the backyard I guess? Ever since Blake got Instagram he sends me random videos, like Bundt tacos. You know I had to try this.  Fun idea, but I think I'll stick with cruchwraps next time. On Sunday Meadow made banana bread. We seem to always have way too ripe bananas o

On the road again. This time to Duluth for another one of Blake's graduations. Daniel wanted to show off the shed he had just built.  My parents were also here for Blake's grad party. We met up for dinner at The Shack in Superior. We were here for the fish fry, but of course we all had to get old fashioneds. Pardon my shitty food photography. The beers were quite large. We were all ready to go when my parents noticed the liquor store next door.  We waited, waited and waited some more for Gail and Mike to get some booze. They always have a buffet of booze whenever we see them at a hotel.
