Chapter Thirty Six- Badger Cross Wisconsin CycloCross State Championships
Because life is crazy and one of the twins just got sick, this week’s post will be told mostly in photos. I went to see the CycloCross State Championships. Check it out. It’s badass biking in often extreme temperatures. This event was host to some well below zero weather. I learned all about the ranking…

Chapter Thirty Five- Mitchell Park Domes
Last weekend we went to the Mitchell Park Domes for a family outing. We needed something cheap, indoors, and not a petri dish of germs because we have a 5 week old baby. This was the perfect space for the kids to walk (ok, run) around and not get into too much trouble. First, we…

Chapter Thirty Four- Milwaukee Public Library, Central Branch
For my inaugural trip with all four kids, I went to the Central Library for story time (with a babysitter…there’s no way I could have done this adventure on my own). We parked on 9th, and went in the back doors. I’m not sure why I always use this entrance. I think I parked near…

Chapter Thirty Three- BelAir Cantina Tosa
To celebrate our last night of paternity leave (well sort of…Theo has worked for himself for the past year and a half, and went back to working with someone else this week), we put the twins down for bed, got Little T set up with pjs and I fed baby S. Our sitter came over…

Chapter Thirty Two- Not much
I went on a date with baby S to Stone Creek coffee. The twins got shirts with capes. And wore them for 72 hours straight. Little T got her fingernails painted by Grandma. We went to the doctor’s office. No pertussis, don’t worry. And pushed each other around in boxes. And walked around in…

Chapter Thirty One- Columbia St. Mary’s Hospital
Proof that even with your fourth kid, you still don’t look like you know what you’re doing 🙂 This past week, I took an adventure to Columbia St. Mary’s hospital on the east side. Theo and I woke up at 4am to make our pre-dawn appointment for an ECV (where the doc tries to turn…

Chapter Thirty- Lunch date at Pho Hai Tuyet
So life is slowing down for me quite rapidly. The only real adventure outside of going to the doctor’s office for a check up this week was getting Pho with Little T. I’ve been craving this delicious noodle soup for days, weeks, years. I cannot get enough of it. I dream about it. And when…

Chapter Twenty Nine- RadioLab at Riverside Theater
Last week I got dressed up for what I’m sure will be the last time before this baby is born. You have no idea how uncomfortable I was wearing something other than yoga pants! Anyway, my brother in law got tickets to go see the NPR radio program RadioLab at The Riverside Theater. My husband and…

Chapter Twenty Eight- Currie Park
This week, I went to run errands while my life-saving babysitter watched my kids (no, I won’t give you her contact information, I’m keeping her all to myself). Afterwards, I stopped at the nearest outdoor space so I could listen to my audio book. Remember last week when I asked how people have time to…

Chapter Twenty Seven- Milwaukee Film Festival (Free the Mind)
Last night, I took myself on a date. Not that I don’t like my husband or my friends, but I really enjoy alone time. So that said, I bought a ticket on Milwaukee Film Festival’s website for Free the Mind, put on some lipstick, threw down some heartburn medicine (you know how the end of…
Got any book recommendations?
