Cake

The cake.

Yep, he finally blew it out all by himself.

Did he spit? Why yes, yes he did.

And then he kissed it. Why? I have no idea.

A very happy day.

Happy Birthday Timmy

My baby is 5 today! Can you believe it? Because I sure can't. Timothy ended up being my shortest labor, but my largest baby at a whopping 9 pounds 3 ounces. Madness!

Timmy at @ 6 months

So smiley.

And bald.

He has always been my best eater.

He did always love to sleep in his highchair.

We have a TON of pics like these.

He also really liked to be dirty and make messes.

Still does, actually.

He started school at age 3 and still loves it.

Happy Birthday to my Timmy Timms.

Mommy loves you.

Dentist

Bryon went to the dentist today.

Needless to say that when he goes, it is an ordeal.

We take him into a back room, close the door so you can't hear him scream, and strap him down. It the taked 2 people to hold his head, Scott to pin his legs, and the dentist to do the work.

Anyone who gets strapped down gets an extra special toy.

While I do remember getting a toy each time I went to the dentist, it was never anything like this...



Yep, this is our "dental" toy. He's actually bigger than he looks. Bryon loves him and took him to school today. I thought he deserved it.

My Day So Far...

Bryon woke up at 2 this morning. I went to bed @ midnight. He came to my bed and snuggled for a while, but he is all knees and elbows and crowds you and sometimes sings really, really loud.

At 3, Timmy woke up so I let him out and sent Bryon back into his room. He fell asleep, but now I had an awake Timmy on my hands. I wasn't too worried so I set him up with a movie and went back to bed figuring that he would fall asleep soon anyway.

While he did fall asleep again(around 5:30 in my bed, where somehow Aly had also magically appeared) he had previously wrapped himself in duct tape and then taped himself to the chair. When I tried to move thet chair out of my way, my Timmy moved too.

Fortunately, he slept through most of the surgical removal of the tape and the chair. He had it wrapped so tight around his middle I don't know how he was able to breathe.

Timmy goes back to school today and I cannot imagine that this is going to end well. He is going to be tired and cranky and start smacking people. bleh.

Why can't my children appreciate sleep?? Why?

New Addition

This has been up for debate for a long time.
(By debate I mean I suggest and Scott says no.)

However, now that my sanity is at an all time low and we are redoing our playroom, the time has come.




Oh, and the fact that I am sick of occurences such as these...








Brought on by him...

I gave my husband 3 choices. Chalkboard paint, a chalkboard, a white board, or I kill him and then do whatever I want. :) He has chosen a white board.

Of course, it is now up to me to find said white board, but I am a determined/desperate/crazy woman. It shouldn't be a problem.

Be Careful What You Wish For

For years I have wanted Bryon and Timmy to blow out their birthday candles by themselves. Not that we didn't always have anxious cousins willing to help, but I wanted my kids to do it.

This year was the first time Bry blew out his own candles. All six of them, all by himself. I was thrilled. Timmy will probably handle his own 5 in a few weeks.

However, now that he can do it, he does it ALL. THE. TIME. Like say when we had a power outage and I lit every candle we had, only to notice that the house was getting darker and darker. Gee, I wonder why...

Those boys were blowing them out as fast as I could light them.

Today I have/had an aromatherapy candle lit in my living room. Everytime he blows it out I relight it and sometimes move it to a new location. All to no avail. I think that kid can find a lit candle in a 1 mile radius.

Sigh.

Guess my house isn't meant to smell like Black Raspberry Currant today. Oh well.

Things That Are Not Glue

Dear Timmy,

The following are items that, while sticky, are not in fact glue.

Mousse.

Toothpaste. Any toothpaste.

Bath and Body Works Lotion. especially not this.

Hairspray.

Pudding.

Yogurt.

Any other food item.

Please stop using them. If you really need to glue things together, just ask. I will be more than happy to purchase the glue and then assist you with all your gluing needs.

Love,

Mommy
