I won!  Thanks for all the votes!  I’m so excited!!!

In other happenings we just got back from a trip to Mall of America.  Evelyn and I went up with my parents and sister for a little bit of shopping.  While there we got to see my cousin Lauren who works at Crave.  This is a great restaurant if you are ever in the Minneapolis area (I think they have two locations).  I had a wonderful crispy flatbread with honey crisp apples, grapes, goat cheese, honey and rosemary.  However, I don’t think we will be welcomed back as we had a million shopping bags taking up the space around our table, Evelyn puked all over me and the floor, and after I put the babe in a highchair to sop up some of the mess I knocked a full glass of ice water all over her, the table, my mom, and the floor.  Evelyn was screaming and soaking, I was practically crying, the woman at the next table was up in a flash with her napkin to help catch the mess as my momma nearly collided with her as she backed up to miss getting a lap full of ice water.  Disaster!  Our server was so nice and helpful but I’m sure she told Lauren never to invite us back.  Sorry, Liz.  I would like to come back sometime when I can enjoy my meal- maybe with just Scott.

We also headed over to Ikea.  Always a good time there.  Now I want to re-do my whole house.  That’s the great thing (and the bad thing) about how they have all those rooms set up- so many ideas start flowing.  We couldn’t quite fit any boxes of furniture parts in the vehicle, with the million shopping bags and such, so I  just got some new curtains.

We got home and Scott and I went on a date Saturday (thanks Grandma & Grandpa Olson).  We had great food at the High Rock Cafe in the Wisconsin Dells then went to see District 9.  A great movie but very brutal and slightly disturbing- but in a way that makes you think about how you treat others who are not like yourself.  A wonderful night out with the husband.  I still want to see Julie & Julia, though.
