What a long week it was! I had to first recover from being so sick over the weekend to ending up with a cold at the end of the week! I was so dang mad. I would love to get away from here to someplace warm where we could all just relax and feel better. OK, I would feel better. How lovely it would be to be waited on right now-sigh.

We did have a nice weekend, even with me having a bit of a cold. Friday morning we went to Java Train, a cute kid friendly coffee shop with a caboose right inside for the kids to play in. Heather and Tenzing joined us there, as well as others from the St. Paul Mom's Group. It is such a fun place. While speaking with Rena, we found out both our husbands had to work Saturday, so we invited Rena and Lexa over for a play date. The girls had a great time playing together and really did a good job, with very little fighting. Lexa is just one month older than Libby.

Saturday evening was the St. Mary's auction. Eric had said that he did not want to attend, so I invited our friend Jenny as my date. He then turned around and said he was coming. I think this was to insure I did not spend too much. It was such a fun evening. The silent auction was great, even though I only got two items that I bid on. During the live auction, there was some comfusion as to which one of our group was bidding on a dinner, so two members ended up bidding against each other for the same thing. Let's just say the money goes to a good place.

Libby has been incredible at potty training. It was as if a light went off and now she just does it. She has had no accidents in days and days and is so happy to let you know that she needs to go. We are so proud of her. We do have to walk the "potty line" however. She likes some praise, and to get a sticker, but if you over do it, she shakes her head and tells you "no, no". We have not had to deal with it in public, yet, however, so that will be the next challenge.

I am still fighting a cold, so off I go to get a "real" cup of hot tea.
