Happy 4th Birthday Chloe!!!

This was the Birthday of many themes. I took Chloe to Party City to pick out her decorations. Bad idea. Much like her father she cannot make a decision. She wanted one thing, changed her mind, and then back again. We ended up with New York Yankees plates and napkins, tablecloth from tangled, cars cake decorators, and yet another theme for the hats and blowers. Jon took her to get balloons on the day of her party and came home with Strawberry Shortcake...yet another.....crazy girl. Being slightly OCD and control freak it really bothered me, however, I didn't just roll with it and let it be..

Multiple themes....her favorite Derek Jeter! She was in love with these napkins

Yankees M&M's!!

Opening a soccer ball and goal fron Grandma Anne and Uncle Chris!! She loves it. Cant wait for nicer weather so that she can use it more

Fin and Chloe had the same dresses on...which I forgot to take a cute pick of!! Chloe is still obsessed with her and Finley wearing the same thing if able.

Did not have time to make a cake this year...so I cheated with Wegmans...raspberry in the middle. Cant beat it!!

Doc Mcstuffins puzzles she got for her birthday, put them all together in a flash...

Finley 8 months!

Just a few pics of Fin in action....looking all over for her binkys one night...gave her one it disappeared, gave another, nowhere to be found. Not on the floor, not in her seat...what the? then...she had them in her little vest! Haha!! There are two binkys shoved in there!

Her hair is growing in so light...almost a strawberry blond look...blue eyes appear to be staying! Dipping into the gene pool for those! definitely my eyes...So cute...

Look at these cuties!

Dinosaurs!!!

I decided that it had been awhile since Chloe and I had some mommy daughter time. Since Finley has come into our lives things have been so busy. So Chloe wanted to go see the Dinosaurs!! And so we went...just the two of us.
There was a scary mommy moment. A blow up maze that had narrow passages. Kids were all running through and the parents tagging along behind. Chloe was caught in a group of kids and got separated from me, when I came out the end she was nowhere to be found!!! So I stood in the middle of the entrance and exit waiting to see her running through. Minutes ticked by and no Chloe! I was looking around and the hundreds of kids thinking the worst, trying not to let panic set in. Hand on my phone to call 911, there was no way I was leaving that area...when out she came, hysterical, another "mommy" found her crying in a corner after she realized she couldn't find me....OMG I cant even explain the utter relief and horror at the thought of what could have happened....just glad she was ok. A good chance for more safety talks, stranger danger, and finding a "helper person in uniform" if something like that ever happened again! Whew....

Big trip downtown Buffalo to the convention center. Big Saturday night out for the girls...My plan was to go after work, and eat dinner there...something yummy....Chloe's plan was to not eat apparently. She was so excited!

Some of the Dinosaurs moved and made noises. She wasn't quite sure what to think about that.

Chocolate ice cream for dinner! And then McDonald's at 8 pm! I was starving

Dino play area

It was a nice time. There were far to many children in one place though. Lots of "rides" bounce houses and riding dino's but the lines were forever long! We were there so late that she was able to get into a huge dino bounce house. So that made her night. She picked out a super soft baby stegosaurus for Finley. Fun time for the girls. She loved downtown at night with all the lights and buildings lit up.
