Monday Memo.

Well now, with the boys back at school, the rest of us have to busy ourselves so we don't miss them so much.

Minna and I cleaned and redecorated her room. Goodbye size 18 month clothing! See ya later stacking blocks and puzzles meant for babies. We need a big girl room! A 3 year old room.

This 3 year old likes how it feels.

We smoked some pinks today. I don't know what smoked salmon is supposed to look like. It doesn't look that great but it tasted and smelled really good. We will keep at it and try different brine concoctions. When I say "we", I mean Jeff. I didn't help. At all. I was a good taste tester though. The best part is that we got the electric smoker with the house. Might as well try our hand at smoking stuff right?

*Speaking of fish- check out part two of "North By Northwest" over at The Great Read. Fun reading recommendations and more of my pictures. Plus, another Avett Brothers video. Go for that at least!

Also, I started collecting egg cartons already and stacking them on top of the fridge. The chicks will be here by the weekend! Yay! We won't have actual eggs from our soon-to-be chickens for months and months though. I want to be ready.

Of course I took a picture of them...can you tell I am slowly but surely losing my strong natural light (not, my mind) in the house? The days are getting shorter and leaning toward the dim side.

We are rollin' with it.

You have a good start to your week?
