Mmmmm Meatloaf...

This will probably be a short post, but I feel like putting something up today. I had the day off from school today since we only have clinicals one day this week (tomorrow). M had a job with a buddy working on a fence for his mom so it was just the munchkin and I today. We ended up taking a trip to the Como Zoo. Como is a great place in my opinion. You can walk around the lake at Como Park or head over to the zoo. They ask for a donation for an entrance fee, but won't turn anyone away because they can't pay. After driving around for what seemed like forever trying to find a parking spot we headed into the zoo.

It was a little tough today since it was just Kaleb and I. I couldn't take pictures and it was a little tiring taking Kaleb in and out of the stroller so he could see everything. I used an umbrella stroller my mom gave us instead of the big stroller, and it sits a little lower to the ground. It wasn't a huge deal though, and Kaleb loved, loved, LOVED seeing the monkeys. He wasn't too impressed with any of the other animals (except the giraffes), but couldn't get enough of the primate building. It was really cute though, the way his jaw dropped when the big girrafes started moving. I think he thought they were statues :)

The morning went really smoothly, but the afternoon was the complete opposite. For some reason Kaleb decided he wasn't into the whole napping thing today and only slept for about 45 minutes. That tends to make for one crabby baby...and subsequently a crabby mommy. Martin finally got home so I was able to finish working on starting dinner. He took Kaleb along and went to drive his mom to Sam's Club so she could pick up a couple things. Which allowed me time to write this and get dinner in the oven.

Speaking of dinner, I have a story to tell about my attempt at putting it together (and how I was almost foiled by the cats) but it will have to wait. I just heard the car pull into the garage and the timer is about to ding for dinner. What's on the menu? Meatloaf and mashed potatoes. I've never made meatloaf, so we'll see how it goes. Sorry for the boring post....
