Birthday Bash #3!!

"Hey Fireman"... no mom, i am a "Firefighter"
with all the passion a boy can muster, so i was compelled to do what ever it took to have a Fire Truck come to Crew's Fireman Birthday Party, I mean Crew's Firefighter Birthday Party. With a little bit of luck and a whole lot of work, it was a Huge Success! YAY

Being a mom is like being a superhero. It makes you do things you didn't know you could. It stretches your limits, your budget, and especially your heart. I wasn't planning on knocking doors for three days bugging everyone on my block to sign a petition, repeatedly calling (and annoying) the city public works office, and even trying to sweet talk the fire captain...but...the love for a child certainly gives you magical powers.





inspite of the children's intent wonder and joy, only half were brave enough to sit right on the massive truck


and so it begins...

off to the races. as quick as a fireman to rescue a burning building, the kiddos rushed their trucks to the little fire hydrants to receive a little treat and back to the starting line again.

next, we sang a fireman song to gather all the children and focus their attention on the next big activity...

hurry hurry, spray the water. put out the flames.

with the fire extinguisher full of water, everyone had a turn to spray the burning house to help save the day!!! they loved it! although, i had no idea the pressure the extinguisher had, after the first spray, we had to move the house far away as the water knocked it over. lol

it's my party and i can cry if i want to...(not to mention that is a good looking cake!)

make a wish sweetheart! happy birthday! we love you, and you can thank us when you are older, by not being a rebel teen!

can you tell, i am proud of the cake?
