A Mad Tea Party Calls For Some Watered Down Futterwacken!

It's time for the loveliest of all lovely tea parties today! Vanessa at A Fanciful Twist is hosting her annual Mad Tea Party. And just like last year it just so happens to coincide with Lil Mootz's 1/2 birthday!

For the past two months I've been advertising over on the side there that "When that day comes I'll shall futterwacken...vigorously." Of course, by "I" I meant Lil Mootz. (If you are unfamiliar with the term "futterwacken" you can check out the video here: The Mad Hatter's Futterwacken. In a nut shell, it means to dance like crazy mad.)

Here's the problem: Lil Mootz is 18 months old and does not respond well to "Dance monkey-boy, dance!"



Yeah, I know. I too am disappointed that you won't get to view the super-duper cuteness that is my child.

I'm totally kidding! Of course, I have prepared a video of Lil Mootz being absolutely adorable just for your viewing pleasure.

You can thank me in the form of Peanut M&Ms or Swedish Fish.

So I couldn't get Lil Mootz to dance. However, we went to Dutch Wonderland last weekend and this craziness of a toddler having a blast at the water park is our version of "Futterwacken." Stay tuned until the end because Lil Mootz has been working on something new to let everyone know how much he loves you all! Enjoy!



Thank you everyone for stopping by my table at the Mad Tea Party!  Have a great weekend and I can't wait to visit your parties!

Guess what? In Sweden we don't have Swedish fish (the sweets). An American had to explain it to me :D

I think kids always have a good time in water... unless it's bath water.

Jessica said...

How adorable :) My little guy is the same age and engages in futterwacken as well lol

Victoria Sayer said...

Oh I know I'm awfully late. But I thought I would just let you know that I called by to enjoy your adorable little one's frolic in the (very blue) water. I too had NO IDEA what Swedish Fish were until I read afiori's comment.
You can still find my Mad Tea Party in my archives, and you are still very welcome to drop by for a cup of madness.
