Catching up--April 1st

I finally got my pictures onto the computer, so I thought I would catch up from this past week by adding a few here. Two big things happened on April 1st. Spencer had his preschool field trip and William turned 8. We celebrated as a family at IHOP that night.

Spencer and the other kids inside the fire truck.


Mr. Dieu showed the kids what was inside the first aid kit.
He took the blood pressure of any child who was brave enough
to let him do it. Most, including Spencer, just wanted to watch!

Shortly after we arrived there was a huge car accident and
the fire truck got called away. So we all went outside and
waved goodbye as they drove away using sirens, lights
and all. Pretty exciting for the kids.


After the fire truck left we went inside and had a tour of
the station and then Mr. Dieu had the kids sit while he
talked about safety. You can tell by this picture how
thrilled these two were by that. Hopefully some of it sank
in anyway.



At IHOP we were trying out a friend's camera and unfortunately it didn't take such great pictures. I'll post a few that turned out ok.

We let William open his gifts while we waited for our food.


The boys loved their pancakes and sausages. I can't believe
how much these boys can eat! William had finished his and
was looking for more just minutes after the food came.
They're growing boys!

They brought William a sundae and sang to him. Everyone
in the restaurant joined in with the clapping and singing.
We also got one for the rest of us to share. It was a pretty
fun time.

I love fire station field trip, mostly because I love seeing the smiles on all the kids faces the whole time.

Fun birthday especially that yummy ice cream dessert, that looks amazing.
