Messy Paxton!

I think we have daily messes from our little Paxton and I recall we had similar messes when Caiden was a toddler too. It seems like I am constantly getting him out of the toilet or sink or someones drawers! Below is a small sample of the little messes he is constantly getting into!

This is lip gloss out of mom's purse. I'm sure I did not leave my purse on the floor, but I guess I left it within reach of his little fingers. Such a pretty boy!

 This is a repeat of the lip gloss mess, but on a different day-I really need to find a new place for my purse!

 Making Caiden's birthday cake- you have to let the kids lick the spoon right?

This mess was not a fun one to discover, and sadly, is one that was repeated in our bedroom twice! I finally had Jayson install the child locks on our bathroom cupboards cause I was tired of hauling the carpet cleaner out to clean up toothpaste!  Oh the joys of parenthood!

Making cookies

Jayson loves snickerdoodle cookies. I thought it would be fun to surprise him with cookies when he got home from work! I like to try and capture the moments when I make an attempt at being a good mom cause, believe me, it doesn't happen often! I made sure the boys put plenty of sanitizer on and we got started! Caiden loves to help me "make". He loves using the blender and measuring the ingredients.

Unfortunately, in my mind, these kind of activities play out much better than they actually do in real life. So shortly after we got started I had to eliminate one child from the situation because it was getting out of control-i.e. flour all over the place, the boys fighting over who gets to do what. So Paxton went down for a nap and Caiden and I finished up.

Caiden helped roll the dough into balls and roll it in cinnamon and sugar!

After a long afternoon, the cookies were a success! Jayson came home to warm, homemade cookies, hyped up kids and an ornery wife! Good times!

Get-a-way to Park City

I found someone to cover my evening shift so we could take a Friday night and go on a little over-nighter to Park City! We bought an entertainment book from Caiden for his school fundraiser and it gave us a discount on the room so we thought this would be a fun thing to do since there isn't much to do in the cold winter!  We went to eat at Ruby Tuesday's-we always liked to go there in Tennessee and there isn't one close to our house so that was fun! Then when we got to the hotel, we changed into our swim suits and hit the pool and hot-tub! Caiden loves hotels and swimming so he was in heaven!

I would like to say we slept great, but unfortunately the people in the next room were not in to sleeping so they were loud and we had to call the front desk on them twice! We woke up and ate a delicious free breakfast and then hit the outlet stores! We spent a lot of money in Old Navy and the Lucky Brand stores-Merry Christmas to us! Ha Ha!
