So for those who know me well you know I am a very santitary person. I like my house to be uncontaimated and clean...so this poses a problem, a 1 yr. old and 3 yr. old...hmmm
But it is an unwritten law that for your ONE YEAR old birthday you have to enjoy a messy birthday cake. In fact isnt there always wagers on if the kid will eat the cake elegantly or tear it up...so like Marie Antoinette I decided to LET THEM EAT CAKE (and just in case you are a history buff, or watch history shows in your spare time, like me, you will know its not actually proven that she really said that) ...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Let_them_eat_cake
Anyway I decided to put them in the tub (yes, it was sterilized) and I LET THEM EAT CAKE...and the results are in...
I think this is when he realized he liked it....
...then he dug in...
We then got some foot action
After standing up and realizing he got frosting on the edge of the tub he began rubbing his hands on the edge and then started sucking the edge of the tub...YUM
When they started slipping and falling on frosting, I decided it was probably time to clean up and finish...
This was the end result
Why did I not know you were a history buff or a clean freak? Do I know you?! That mess is out of control, love it!
ReplyDeleteHaha, that is hilarious! Such a good idea though. Clara was one of those dainty ones that didn't get dirty. I love seeing that Asher really enjoyed his cake.
ReplyDeleteThat's AWESOME Heidi! You crack me up!!

ReplyDeleteGood post. I think this boy is like his sister and will always like to dig in... especially if it's food. :)
ReplyDeletehahaha..how funny! What a brilliant idea! I love how Asher just went to town!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I usually just give them a cupcake. Im afraid of giving them anything larger than that.
ReplyDeleteThat was great! Thanks! Although you like everything sanitized you know how to have fun.
ReplyDeleteyou are a genius! that's the best idea yet! although...i have to say...i would probably be in that bath tub too...just not in my diaper, of course! :) oh and your family is so dang cute! bring another one in this world! :)
ReplyDeleteHa ha ha!!! Heidi, that's just too funny! I love it!

ReplyDeleteGood idea putting them in the tub, what a mess!
ReplyDeleteLove it! I love how you really got into that cake. Did the blue frosting stain ever come off your bathtub?! I hate how that frosting stains your mouth, your lips, your teeth.....looks like he had a fun birthday.
