How does Monday come by so quickly? We were able to still have a very nice weekend, although Eric had to work all day on Saturday. We made plans to have lunch with Aunt Jenny at a new deli called the Cheeky Monkey. Jenny came to the house and all was fine until she tried to get into the passenger side of my car. No one is allowed to sit there but me, it appears. It has been almost one year, and Libby's reaction has remained the same the whole time, no matter who it is that sits next to me. She screams and cries at the top of her lungs. I thought that perhaps the first time it confused her, but as it has not ceased, we are at a loss as to what sets this off. We drove on, with her wailing in our ears. The Cheeky Monkey went into the old Zander Cafe space and I think they did a beautiful job. Unfortunately, we still had a screaming Libby, so were not able to eat there. We came home and had our sandwiches here. Libby then got over her angst, and as she always does with Aung Jenny, sat on her lap, and played with her and just adored her. I brought Jenny her b-day present and Libby belted out Happy Birthday. Soooo, what the heck is it about the car?

We went to the MN Zoo on Sunday morning to see the baby farm animals. Dang, they are cute. We especially loved petting the goats. We would buy the little handful of food and go into the pen to be attacked. It was quite fun and I think Dada had as much fun as Libby.

Last night, we met friends at the Nook, a neighborhood bar with great burgers. I do not need to eat for a week. Kids are free on Sunday evenings, and I was thankful for this as Libby would not eat a bite because she was having so much fun playing.

Snow is supposed to be heading our way yet again. "Why?" I whine. I like seeing things starting to green. I like wearing lighter jackets. But, I live in MN, so I need to shut up and buck up and just get through it, right?

Need to add that I have a girl who will not put on clothes again today. Nope, a pair of water sandals (very cute ones) and a diaper is all she is willing to put on. I had hoped to get out for a bit-anywhere would have been fine. OK, Target. Days like this make me wonder how my Mom did it with all of us kids. I am not going to try and find out!
