We've all had a pretty nice week, busy but nice. We've gone out to dinner with Grammy, gone shopping, went to playgroup and saw Mammy and Papa.
Grammy has been pretty stressed out because of her Relay in Lake Placid tomorrow (watch for pictures of that...should be a fun time!) so she took us out to dinner the other night. Our waitress wasn't the friendliest and I was tempted to not clean up after Jack (he made quite the mess) but I caved and cleaned up his remains of dinner off the floor. It was a nice night and Jack was able to cheer Grammy up
We also went to playgroup at the gym today and Jack saw his bestest buddy Kasey! I love that my new position allows me to have a flexible schedule so I'm able to do some things with Jack still - aka have Friday afternoons off!. We only went for about 45 minutes but he still had a blast. For the first time in a very long time, Kasey walked up to Jack to give him a hug and Jack walked away. I was floored! He never rejects a hug, especially from his buddy. I told Jack that we were going Bye Bye and he proceeded to go back and give Kasey a hug. Poor kid is never going to want to hug him again! After that we went to lunch at Subway, did a little shopping and came home to bake a cake for Papa's birthday today.
We made a chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting (consequently Mark's favorite cake) and Jack really enjoyed eating the left over frosting. He is truly Mark's son. Mark came home just before we left for my parent's house with a box of cookies he got delivered to him. We decided to pack Jack up in the box and ship him off.
Okay, so we didn't really pack him up, but he did enjoy getting into the box and playing around with it. We then headed off to Mammy and Papa's for spaghetti, cake and ice cream. Jack had a lot of fun with Auntie Katie, Uncle Ryan and Auntie Kim. They kept him occupied with the radio, balls and all sorts of other toys. What he really enjoyed were Papa's remote control cars. He sat there and watched them for a while and then even got a chance to use the remote. He wasn't too sure about them at first, he had a good grip on Daddy's arm when the cars were driving around, but he eventually got down and played with them. Christmas present?
All in all it was a good night. Jack even cuddled with Papa for a little bit, almost falling asleep in his arms around 7. Seeing as it was his birthday, Papa was quite alright with that =)
Off to bed...long weekend ahead of us. We'll be spending it in Lake Placid for the Relay and then possible some walking around on Sunday if the weather is nice. Hopefully I'll get some good pictures of the fall foliage happening in the Adirondacks. We'll see. Night!

Jar and I used to walk around the entire lake when he lived up there. It was always such a gorgeous and calming walk. I'm not sure if you'd want to do the entirety of it with Jack, but it's highly recommended.
