Walker Sculpture Garden

On Tuesday we stopped by Penzey's Spices for a little shopping before meeting up with the rest of the fam for the afternoon. Penzey's has a great pirate-themed coloring space set up, so we were able to shop in peace! We bought chicken taco seasoning, granulated garlic, sweet Hungarian paprika, Berbere Ethiopian spice, and Muhajarah curry.


After having lunch with Stephanie at a really cool little cafe on Lyndale Ave, we with met up with Dad and Mary at the Walker Sculpture Garden.  I really wanted some pictures with the spoon and cherry!!


It was super hot and muggy but the kids had a blast exploring!


The Walker is one of those places I wish I had taken advantage of more often when I lived in Minneapolis!


It was so hot we stopped for little rests frequently.


Zoe kept busy "sweeping" with a branch and Silas "planted sticks".


There is a really cool swing sculpture that they played on for awhile. 


This was the perfect outing for our last day in MN! In the late afternoon heat we headed back out to Lake Minnetonka for one last swim, and Sue and Bob made us walleye for our last dinner.

Silas' Blog

Well it's been a busy 3 years since I last posted! Stay tuned as we may have more posts coming now that it looks like I have a new contributor... Silas recently read a book called "Starting Your Own Blog", and now he is bound and determined for us to let him start his own blog! We convinced him that he should start out by drafting content and a posting calendar. We made templates this morning and he wrote his first "post" today!

Food Prep

We recently bought a house and moved about 20 miles outside of Boston. One of the changes that came along with a new commute and work schedule is that I have started making dinner for the kids every night, instead of just Friday-Sunday (Julia, our wonderful long-time nanny, historically fed them dinner Monday-Thursday). Derek and I still have opposite work schedules, which means that I have the kids without him 5-6 nights/week. In order to make healthy meals AND pack lunches while flying solo, at a minimum I need to have a well-stocked fridge and basic menu plan for the week. Even better is when I can get some cooking and/or food prep done on Sunday. Before I go to the gym on Sunday mornings I usually peruse some recipes in search of culinary inspiration. Today I came across a recipe that caught my eye on Budget Bytes . I was planning on hitting Trader Joe's after the gym, so I picked up the frozen roasted corn that is the cornerstone of this recipe. The first part of my foo...

Auntie Tracy's Visit

Tracy is one of my best friends, but I haven't seen her in person in two years ! This means that I hadn't met her daughter, Brynn, who turns 2 in June. I was sooooooooo excited when I found out that Tracy and Brynn would be visiting Tracy's sister, Timery this weekend. We decided to meet at Mall Tots  again so that the kids could run around and we could catch up. It's a 45 minute drive and it was a beautiful day, so the kids were hunkered down with sunglasses, snack and stuffed animals on the ride up. Zoe and Brynn initially got acquainted in the bouncy house, And then Zoe pushed her around in a car.   Of course my kids (and husband!) had plenty of distraction with the video games too. We packed up the kids and then had lunch at Buffalo Wild Wings before heading back home. Timery and Tracy are like sisters to me. What a fantastic day!!!
