pay attention parents...Call the firehouse she says, "tell them you are bring x amount of kids and their parents in for a tour... The firemen will show the kids the equipment, get dressed for them, hand out the red plastic firehats, and take them for a ride in the firetruck" 'Shut Up!' I say 'You are my Savior, that is awesome!! how much does it cost?' "Nothing, its free..." 'FREE? Cut it out!' "You'll be the coolest mom" she says. (check that, I get to SAVE MONEY and BE COOL, yeah, I'm in....) The rest was easy.... I went to iParty and picked up Fireman Theme party bags, napkins, plates and a banner thingy... Went to WalMart and got little firetrucks and rescue cars, hot tamales, fireman action figures, etc.... and voila! Party planned in 36 hours. The kids had a blast, the dads even had a blast (they got to go for a ride too) it was great. One of the things I got Owen based on my friend Missy's recommendation was the Fisher Price digital camera.... Another big hit! Owen has been a shutter bug for a year now, and I have a worse for the wear Kodak 6mpx camera to show for it. Now Owen has his own 1 megapixel camera that holds about 70 pictures. The thing is practically indestructable, and the best part is the back of it looks like a viewmaster, so he can look through it w/ both eyes, take his picture, then see what he captured on the little LCD on the back.... Its like Fischer Price read my mind when designing this. (the best $59 I have spent) Here are some photos taken with my camera and when I get Owen to let go of his camera long enough, I will upload some of his. I promise to check in more!! Until then... S
