Halloween in Kingfield and an Early November Bike Ride to Minneapolis Central Library

Another year of Halloween trick or treating in Minneapolis. Mostly up into Kingfield this year.

This year Meadow's friend Saraphina joined us for trick or treating. 

Meadow was a mushroom witch and Theo was a bald eagle. Good job with Theo's costume Brookie.



We mostly trick or treated in Kingfield this year.




Big kitty. Meadow probably liked this yard the best.



Trick or treating out of the ghostbuster mobile was one of the highlights of the night.


We always have to include the pumpkin house on our route.

I'm partial to the eyeball house. I hope the owner is an eye doctor.



One last stop at the spooky house around the block.


The best thing about getting candy on halloween was sorting it afterwards. Scott didn't believe me that that was a thing. 

It's not a thing. But y'all can do whatever you want.

Theo helped me with breakfast this morning. 


German apple pancake and eggs. 

Homework after breakfast.


And a little bit of sewing. 

It had snowed on Halloween and Theo made a snowman. It was still hanging on a couple days later. 


After taking off the monkey bars we realized it was better having them on. 

Theo likes playing around back there. Might as well keep him on the bike.

We took a ride to the Central Library on this warm beginning to November.



It's still very much fall here.

The trees have hardly changed colors.


We hadn't been to the downtown library in awhile. Now that Meadow is reading teen books I wanted to take her to the teen section at this library. 

The teen section is no more and it moved to the children's area. 

Noooo!!!!

I clearly love going to the library.


We played for a bit before biking back home. 

After deep cleaning the good old Honda Insight, I decided to get an upholstery/carpet cleaner. Now it's time to sell our sweet, sweet Honda. 285,000 plus miles and still going strong.

I had a feeling the water would be gross. We should have bought one of these years ago. 

Chelsea got Meadow a cardboard house. It was supposed to be just for her but she has shared it with Theo too. 

I was very confused since Meadow is getting older, but I guess she did ask for it. She's grown up a lot in the last year, but she's still a little girl from time to time.

Today's goal was to clean up Meadow's art area under her bed. 

So much better. 


I would have loved having a reading nook or art area under my bed. Lucky kids.

2 Weddings and a Blacksmith

 I made cinnamon rolls for breakfast. Not from scratch this time, but from a can I found in the fridge. I needed as much room as possible in the fridge to hold the wedding cakes so we were trying to eat everything in there.  I tried to sleep in, but Brooke really wanted to get vacation going. I think we ended up eating the entire tube of cinnamon rolls. This must be another Romenesko tradition akin to eating six corn on the cobs at one sitting.

Honeymoon: Duluth, Minnesota is Not Flooded. Long Live Long-Pong.

When the waitress asked for Blake's ID and he told her he was underage we were kicked out of the Thirsty Pagan. To not miss out on our favorite pizza and beer (and we had a coupon to use up) we ordered food to go. While waiting for our food we walked around the great, but sad city of Superior, Wisc. Heading directly out the door and towards the industrial waterfront this Charlie Brown block was plopped amongst the former industry.

Eureka! It's Thanksgiving!

For the first time in 2 years we were able to head home for Thanksgiving. I am so thankful this year that Scott isn't working retail. Especially with how ridiculously early stores are opening.  I'm thankful I'm working for myself . Luckily I had Wednesday off and Scott, well, he can have off whenever he wants. We made it out of the city with no traffic and came home in time for dinner.  I made that cake like 5 years ago in school (don't worry just the outside is real). I'm surprised my parents have still kept it even though its changing colors and covered in dust. Everytime we go to my parents house Scott always has to poke fun of my senior pictures. He's just jealous he didn't get to sit on a swing.  My mom had just gotten the upgraded version of Scott's phone. She had no idea how to use it, so Scott had to show her how. For the rest of the weekend I played the part of Geek Squad agent. Better than actually working at BBY. ...
