The blue wand - he loves it!

This weekend the kids had two birthday parties to go to. We all went to Sam Springfield's party at the Fire Museum then Ben and AP went to a party for one of Ben's classmates. Of course the fire museum was a hit with the boys. We even had some excitement - the firemen had to leave on an emergency call while we were there!! There was a woman who explained everything including fire safety. I didn't think the boys were really paying attention, but Ben informed me this morning when he saw the "smoke" from the humidifier that we should get on the floor and roll out of the house and don't worry about Otis because he will get out by himself!! The birthday party Ben was invited to was a "princess" party. Ann Phelps made herself at home. She pushed her way into the crowd of girls to meet the "real" Cinderella then she "helped" the birthday girl blow out her candles!! As we were leaving, Ben was crying because he didn't want to leave- the birthday Mom gave him his party favor fit for a PRINCE (a sword) but he wanted the blue magic PRINCESS wand instead!! By the time we got home we were partied out!!
