The big 5!


April 27th was Tucker's birthday!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TUCK!!
Look who's 5 now!!!

 I got the crepe paper idea off of pinterest... but it didn't work out as planned. when the boys woke up, they were confused and tucker did not burst through it like i thought he would. he and cole both just carefully climbed in between the streamers to get in an out of their room. finally i told tucker he was supposed to destroy it. so he did. : )
nice crush mustache tuckie!


I can't believe my baby is 5!!! He asked for sunny side up eggs, fruit, and pancakes with sprinkles for his birthday breakfast. we had to get stuff ready for his birthday party, so we just hung out at home during the day. the boys played outside, and tucker even helped me get some things ready. he helped peel the carrots and add ingredients to the cake. he had a crazy (but fun) birthday party that night. i think next time i need to actually figure out a limit of how many kids can come. i think we had somewhere between 15 and 20 kids, ranging from the ages of 8 months to 8 years. for me, i think it was what one might define as chaos. the kids had fun though!!! and thats all that matters : ) and im bummed i didn't get a picture with him! i just totally forgot. im telling you, this party was nuts! (or maybe it was just me that was nuts? : )
before he went to bed, i did a birthday interview so for your entertainment and my records, here it is (i wrote down exactly how he answered):
