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.

Yes I'm Still Alive

Sorry for the lack of updates. One reason being that I'm never actually at my house anymore and I figured my life was too boring to write about. Well, up until today it was. I am no longer a schooless wonder. I won't get jealous whenever I drive by the U, because....I go to school now. Woo. But...at a school I didn't think I would be going to up until today. It was just an idea a week ago and today I was convinced this is the school for me. I'm going to the Art Institutes International Minnesota. Something I should of done a long time ago. Why did it take so long for me to realize I should go to art school like I originally planned. I'm actually stuck between the photography program and the baking and pastry program. I know two totally different fields, hopefully the winter semester will help me decide. I don't know I do love my cake. C'mon who wouldn't want to eat that. I've pretty much been working everyday now. My arm is better so I'm back to...

With Spring Comes Biking

Whenever daylight savings changes I flip the mattress. (I know I'm a little late) Every new season I change the duvet cover.  Scott actually helps me this time. Yup, I'm cool like that. I was a little worried we had too much dough so we got out every pan that could be used for muffins. I was wrong, we only needed two pans. By the time we actually eat "breakfast," at least that's what Brooke calls it, Peanut has already finished most of his Organmix. I know, we spoil the little runt. Speaking of Brooke's fascination with breakfast, she will not eat anything that resembles lunch for her first meal of the day. So, even on the laziest Sunday, breakfast comes before lunch. As you can see Brooklyn really loved her muffin-fast -- even if it was already 1 p.m. While I finish up some dishes Brooke cleans the kitchen. Did you know that Brooke is a cleaning expert (really, she'll clean your house or cook for you. H...
