Today is Ethan's Birthday. Do you want to know how I spent my first waking hours of this day?! Searching high and low for said son! Ben woke me up at 5:00 when he got out of bed. I noticed lights were on and our door was open. He was gone a bit and came and got back into bed. I asked him something (I cannot remember as it is early morning) and he said he couldn't find Ethan but he was sure he was in his top bunk. Well, being a mom that just does not cut it. So I went in his room and found NO Ethan! I searched the living room, dining room, laundry room, Alicia's room-NO Ethan. At this point I have told Ben that I cannot find Ethan! So he and I are going back through the rooms. Still No Ethan. Next, I went to our room and check the coset and there he stands. He tells me with a bit of a cry and a pout that something scared him in his room and he couldn't sleep. I was so relieved to see this little stinker! He had taken his blankie and a stuffed animal and was sleeping under Bens dress shirts in the closet. He climbed into bed with us where he and Ben promptly fell back asleep and I lay in bed AWAKE for the next 2 hours!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ETHAN!
Sunday we had Ethan's spiderman birthday party. I had planned on this being an outside party but when we woke up Sunday it was raining. So I quickly decided it would be an indoor party. That meant a little more house cleaning then I had first thought I may do. :) Anyway we had a great time and it never rained so the kids played outside most of the time and I was able to do the fun outside things I had planned.
Like Spidermen making webs: (They were supposed to be wearing the spiderman masks I had!)
This was a big hit. The kids all had a can of silly string but the adults seemed to take over and it was a loud, fun mess.
And then there was pop-its:
But the best part was the presents. He got some great ones this year. He loves them all, walkie talkies, legos, trucks, books, a tent. But I think his favorite is the bike we got him. He has been riding it around the house for the last two days while Alicia is at school. I sure do love my birthday boy!
