Tate's Birthday Week!

So Tate had his birthday back in March and I still haven't posted all the fun pics.
On his official birthday we didn't have anything planned, so last minute we called Tate's good friend and our neighbors to join us at Chucky Cheese. Tate was so excited. Addie was scared of pretty much everything, but after a while the mini-merry-go round became her favorite.





This year we decided to have a small birthday. Last years birthday took a lot out of me and this year we had no time to throw a huge bash. I didn't even make the cake, which I was actually bummed about but seriously these last two months have been CRAZY!!! We invited the family over and of course Tate's love of his life, one of our little neighbors. They both have the same fighsty personality and energy. They are so funny. Tate even gave her his old spiderman costume because he got a new one from mom and dad after his old one had been through so much.







Tate was so excited about his birthday this year and can't wait till the next one. He keeps talking about his 5th Birthday already.

Mine would be the kids that eat the paint chips....

So Most kids would get a hold of make-up, markers or paint and draw all over themselves and others. Oh no, not mine. They choose to eat whatever they get a hold of. This is why I have to have a hawks eye at all times. Of course this is also impossible. So one day Tate wanted to paint. I pulled out all of the art supplies and the water colors and let Tate at it. When he was finished we started cleaning up. Phone rang.... I got distracted. Bad mom!

Well Tate had grabbed the art kit brought it into the living room and dumbed it everywhere so as I was talking on the phone I began cleaning it up, loosing track of what ever it was Addie was doing. As I was still chatting I picked up the box to bring it into the kitchen. I looked at Addie sitting at the table, who then smiles at me revealing a black mouth full of black teeth.




I immediately hung up the phone grabbed her began to wash her off but realized...... I had to take a picture. Then I called poison control. I know, wouldn't you do that first? I was pretty sure water colors weren't poisonous. Oils, that would not be good, Acrylics hmmm not the worse, but not the safest. Just to be safe about the water colors though I called.

Addie was fine and I was left with a beautuful daughter who had a black mouth all day. Adorable!

Multi tasking just isn't my thing. Those who say, it's natural for a mom, I disagree. Still, it won;t stop me from trying.
