Fiesta Saturday

Saturday was a busy day for our family.  Todd was teaching missionary classes for a stake program called Road to the MTC till one and I had a baby shower from 11-2 and neither of these activities were Soren friendly so I hired a babysitter.  Ten minutes before the babysitter came over Soren and I were eating guacamole and chips until I realized I was too hot and needed to change.  I didn't even think about putting mine and Soren's snack away, but left everything on the living room floor.  When I came back to the living room I found guacamole smeared everywhere.  Figuring the damage was done I grabbed the video camera so everyone else could witness my plight. 

I sound so distressed mostly because I was really hot and sweaty and the last thing I wanted was to scrub guacamole in my dress and sweat even more before the shower! 

I did not realize how difficult guacamole is to clean because it's so oily.  The combination of guacamole and carpet cleaner made me so sick I couldn't eat anything at the shower plus my hands, knees and dress smelled like cleaner and mexicans for the rest of the day.  Between me and Todd is took 4 separate scrubbings to get our carpet to a faint green and I would consider that a success.

After Soren's nap we went to our friend's 2nd birthday party.  The kids played on a dirt race car track and in a pool eventually combining both activities.

 

Soren spaced out during cake probably trying to think of ways to draw attention to himself because shortly after he was underneath the table crying.  I guess it's time to teach him some birthday etiquette.

It was an eventful Saturday and hopefully they're far and few in between but I think my odds go up when baby numero dos comes.  Oh well at least I learned never to keep guacamole within reach of a toddler-valuable lesson!
