Where did February Go?

This has to be quick, I am such a bad blogger, most likely the reason I was hesitant to do this! February literally went by in a blink. The highlight of course had to be Owen's birthday. He turned 4 and of course I waited until the last minute to plan a party because everyone in the family had been sick with the monster flu bug that was going around, and I (being ever so practical) didn't want to have a big to-do planned... only to have to cancel. Enter my friend Julie to the rescue with the PERFECT LITTLE BOY BIRTHDAY PARTY IDEA...
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
