Spraying the Firehose!!

Spraying the Firehose!!!!

Jack really found his calling.

Medics and Firefighter Bagley

Ladders!!

This is when Sam finally started asking all his questions. Apparently one of the ladders was missing because it was being repaired. Sam had to know EVERYTHING about that one.

Firefighter Bagley

The kids loved the protective gear and the firefighters were so patient! It was so hot, I don't how this guys stayed his gear for so long, but I guess that is their job!

Stickers and coloring books!!

Party Snacks

The kids indulged in cheese and crackers with strawberries and blackberries. At least two of the kids enjoyed the brie/bleu cheese and Maia ate most of the strawberries - the girl can eat!!

Party Finger Painting

I know it sounds like a frat party idea, but it works for toddlers too. Sam was not too into getting his fingers in the paint and rinsed his fingers off after every swipe at his paper. He was very happy when Katie brought out the paint brushes.

Eli liked doing handprints.

Maia was psyched to have the sandbox all to herself while the boys painted.

Birthday Cake

Sam and I planned this cake for a week or so. Buttermilk vanilla cake, pastry cream center and ganache glaze. Boston Cream Pie. One of my personal favorites and now one of Sam's.

Keith came home from work to share in the festivities! What a great dad!

Sam pulled the candles out for all the kids to lick.

Cake Chowdown

The kids were so cute with the cake. When Jack received his piece, he couldn't wait for a spoon and dove in head first!

The Bandaid Series

Somehow Maia hurt her knee and said that she would feel better if she had a bandaid. Sam's eyes got huge and he ran in the house, got a bandaid and came to Maia's rescue. She delicately pulled up the leg of her shorts and Sam went to work on her knee.
