Today, we went to some fairs downtown and had a really nice time. Lily actually acquiesced and allowed us to push her around in the stroller for the duration, and only melted down (minimally) when we were on the free 16th Street Mall shuttle - too many people, I'm guessing.

After the nap, Brian set to making her lunch and might have turned on the wrong burner to boil water. In so doing, he might have set a rubber cheese grater on fire. The house might still smell like burnt rubber five hours later. Stink-o.

Not surprisingly, we went out for dinner. Lily insisted on bringing Beaker and Animal with her. She has become Beaker's biggest fan. While at Target, though, she was willing to discard Beaker in order to play with a pinwheel. Have you ever gotten to watch someone discover a pinwheel before? Very cool experience - I'd highly recommend it. Sure, I felt light-headed after blowing into it and making it spin for the millionth time this evening, but it was worth it.

It's time for me to hit the sack. How did Monday sneak up so quickly?
