JM was not touring again this year, so a low-key birthday was on the agenda. I went to NJ to spend it with Jill & Chris and my cute niece. Lara and Candace came down, too. Here's my niece with auntie Lara, looking for birds, which is her new thing.
The next day, I was babysitting while Jill worked. So we went to the park and on the way home, stopped at this bakery, Carlo's. Their town has several bakeries, so I like to try different ones when I come visit.
I got the chocolate peanut butter cup. The cupcake was too dense (not moist) and not very flavorful. The frosting tasted better, but it was almost crunchy with sugar crystals. Not too impressed. It wasn't until afterwards that I found out these are famous cupcakes by Cake Boss. Of course I've seen the show once or twice, but I didn't recognize the name.
Luckily, Jill got us cupcakes from Cupcake Magician the night before. So much better, and cheaper, too!
Here's my birthday flowers from KB.
While I was babysitting, we took long walks, went to the park, and went "swimming" in the play pool in the back yard. I'll be saying good-bye to this cute face tomorrow and going back to work!

thanks for the good assortment of pictures. I hope you had a good time. I hadn't been using the deck much but while you were here you went out there early in the morning. Now I realize that is the best. Even now, it's cold early on, but I go out anyway,
