Birthday

Did you know a certain little boy turned the big 5 on Sunday? A certain little boy that is the sweetest, most loving, most amazing little boy the world has ever seen? Yup, Teigue Fox turned the monumental 5. Can not even believe it.

I remember my 5th birthday. I don't really know why this birthday stands out from the others, but for some reason it does. I remember being at Westchester Hills and just aching with the wait until people arrived. I think I asked my mom 1,000 times when people were going to get there. I was so excited, I couldn't contain myself. But after that I don't really remember much about the night except for my Aunt Nancy and Uncle Wayne gave me a chalkboard. A giant flip over green on one side and black on the other chalkboard. Loved that chalkboard. I felt so grown up.

Maybe that is why I was a tad obsessed with the planning of Teigue's big day. We decided back in Novemeber that the theme would be Rainbows. have I told you about Teigue's obsession with rainbows? Loves them. Draws them on everything. During rainstorms we go out in search for the big arch. He feels that everyone should love rainbows as much as he does- because they are just pretty and make people happy. How right a 5 year old can be.

So, the party! The day would have been loads more crazy and exciting if a certain little boy didn't have a monster cough all week and was slightly exhausted to start the day. But, oh well- still loads and loads of fun. We pretended that we were Superheroes, threw water balloons at a target aka Daddy, popped a roomful of bubble wrap, played with our buddies...

Then, as soon as everyone left, we crashed.

The party was on Saturday, but his actual birthday was on Sunday. When planning the activities for the party I had thought a balloon drop would be fun- until I discovered that the popping freaked some of the kids out. No big deal, the Fox kids took care of the balloons first thing in the morning. Sorry, neighbors.

Happy birthday to my little Munch, Monster, Munk, Teiguee, Coo Coo Monkey, Muffin...We love you. Thanks for choosing us as your Mommy and Daddy. xoxo

We do have more pictures of the day- our friend Marc took a bunch. When I get those pictures, I will post them.
