One more day until my best pals turn THREE. Eeek! What a big birthday! So much has changed in these little guys over the past year...heck even the past 6 months. Everyday they say or do something new... It sounds crazy, but Kevin and I feel like we've *survived*. The first three years were crazy, but now? They are thriving, happy, funny little boys who are fearless and love to learn.
Over the weekend, we had the boys birthday party with their friends. Thirty-two children under the age of 4 came to play and meet "Fireman Mike". We found a local firefighter who actually owns his own firetruck and teaches fire safety. He arrived at the party with lights flashing - it was awesome! He played games with the kids and taught them to stop, drop and roll. He also suited up in gear and showed them what a firefighter would look like when they come to save them so the kids wouldn't be scared and hide. The kids really learned a lot. And so did I! It was really great.
After learning about fire safety, we went back out to the truck and explored. They learned all the parts of the truck and then came the finale....fire hoses. This was when the things went from cool to REALLY awesome. Fireman Mike rolled out two hoses and the kids lined up to take turns shooting the water. After about 5 minutes, the water started shooting straight up in the air and then all bets were off. The kids were running through the spray -- getting SOAKED -- and laughing their butts off. We were so lucky to have such a gorgeous day. And lucky the pool towels hadn't been put away for the winter yet!
The boys really had a great day and couldn't believe it was all for them. Thank you to all our little friends for coming and making it so much fun!!
