Jack's Weekend

Last weekend was a Jack weekend! Alex spent the weekend with Grandma and Papa and we took Jack to the homecoming football game on Friday night. Then Saturday morning headed off to St. Louis for a Cardinals game.

Jack had fun having his picture taken with Fred Bird and playing in the family pavillion. I think we spent a total of 30 minutes actually watching the game!

Of course we had to make a Fred bird . . .

then we had to buy the foam claw, you can see where all my "adult" drink money went!

After the game we went over to the St. Louis Science Center. Jack a had good time, but I think it would be better for kids a bit older. It was fun to watch him play around anyway.

Saturday night we stayed in St. Louis for Jack's very first hotel stay. We played in the pool and hot tub, which Jack seemed to like the most. In the mornig we played at McDonald's playland and went to the Halloween store. My plan was for Jack to be Mickey and Alex to be Minnie, however Jack decided he wanted to be a pirate. I guess he's too old already for mommy to pick his costume! Not sure how I feel about that, but he sure was happy in his pirate costume. He really wanted to wear it out of the store, but I convinced him to be happy wearing the eye patch for now!
On Sunday we went down to Southern Illinois to celebrate Johnny and Carla's (his twin sister) birthday. It was nice to see Jeremy's extended family becuase we don't get to spend very much time with them.
Soaking up some extra time with Grandma. Alex spent the weekend with Grandma and Papa and had such a good time.
Playing with a friendly kitty cat. Good thing they don't have my cat allergies!

Enjoying some playtime together after a weekend apart. They actually seemed like they missed each other:)
