Uncle Dan and Jenn had a jewelery show so we stopped by to visit.

Mother's Day Weekend was great!

Jason took Hunter and I out for dinner and it was so tasty. And we got a free cheesecake on top of that, so what could possibly be better? We also trekked over to Auntie Lolos for a dinner with Dan, Jenna and Co and got to play with classic/vintage Lego, which spurs me to buy massive quantities because man, I miss it like crazy. Hunter loves it, although the small manipulations are still a bit hard and frustrate him.

We had family brunch this morning. Dan and Jenn came as well as Auntie Lolo, Uncle Bruce and cousin Paul. Hunter had such a blast.

I've been oggling some quality wooden toys for him and started to make some purchases. A while back I got him the wooden food sets from Melissa & Doug. There's just something so amazing about quality wood toys with good craftsmanship. So much cooler than junky and tacky plastic. So I've oggled the Terrace Dollhouse by Plan Toys for a while now and finally picked it up yesterday. I get a 15% discount so it was a great price for the house and a few accessory sets. Hunter is loving it and I'm loving him playing with something semi educational and quality (not tv or cars).

Dan and Jenn stopped by unexpectedly to visit. It was awesome. :-D

Hunter played with some legos and played hide-and-seek. We had a totally ingenious hiding spot too.

Time continues to fly by. :-)

It was Uncle Dan's 25th birthday on the 13th. We had his party on the 16th. Not a huge or spectacular affair, I'd been sick for days. Hunter was also a bit sick and tantrum'd through most of it until I put him to bed in the middle of dinner. It was also his friend Jakob's third birthday. And work on pottying!

And so concludes Halloween 07. :-) It was a mixed affair. Mostly fun with a few tears.

It was my birthday tonight, so Uncle Dan and JennJenn trecked over for a tasty dinner and much fun. Hunter just can't stop laughing when he's with them! :-)

( But first, the mall! )

Another long day today. Hunter was up late last night with all the excitement of nana getting home from England. Then woke up early this morning so we'd been up and he'd eaten breakfast by 7 am or so. Then we went back to sleep for a bit, got back up. I was hoping to spend the afternoon with Dan and Mum doing a bit of shopping and then hitting a park but the weather was just terrible and time flew by and so it was very rushed. I did manage to pick him up a winter coat and then during coffee break Hunter threw a massive out-and-out tantrum. It's very out of character for him and I think I've seen him do this maybe twice in his entire life, to this degree. He just screamed murder all the way home and then screamed hysterically in bed until I read him a story, then he fell asleep 3 or 4 minutes later, poor guy.

I've been sick so I haven't updated in the past few days really.

On Tuesday, Nana, Hunter and I met Dan and Jenn for the last lunch before Nana took off for England on Wednesday morning. She won't be back until the 20th now. It was really nice, despite Hunter managing to pelt someone in the leg with a toy truck and some general grumbling and mumbling. He did try a new food (flat fries) without protest which was nice.
