Today we ventured into St. Paul for an early birthday celebration for Mr., who will be departing for a two day business trip tomorrow. We've mentioned here before that Charles Schultz was born and raised in St. Paul, and our wanderings in the downtown area brought us to a beautiful city square, filled with statues of the Peanuts gang. Miss was delighted. We later went out to dinner, and celebrated Mr.'s 31st by trying to keep the children from taking apart the Green Mill restaurant brick by brick. Nothing like a romantic birthday dinner . . . as Miss repeatedly tries to look over the booth in order to strike up a conversation with the innocent patrons behind us, and Master practices his raspberry noises. Loudly. Perhaps not romantic, but funny. And memorable.
I will keep this short, because there are only a couple of hours left with Mr. before we must go to sleep, and then he leaves for two days. I will be alone with the littles while he is in Chicago attending Trader Joe's University. Bah. I shall be brave. Maybe. I'll keep you posted on how it goes.
Here are some photos of our fun day:
