For Jakob's birthday this year we will be celebrating at the Brooklyn Firehouse! Todd and I kept going back and forth on where to have it and John S. from work suggested having it there (he is a firefighter). What a great idea..we would have never thought to have it there (we will be making a small donation for letting us use the firehouse). We are all excited, but I think I am most of all. We are having pizza or lunch; yummy cake make by Amy- because there are a "few" people coming, we need two cakes (1) will be a fire engine with a picture of Jake and Kaleb and (2) will be the fire house (it was supposed to be a cake of a building on fire..but she didn't want to freak the kids out; hopefully a VIP tour of the trucks from John; a pinata; and possibly a craft. Not going all out on the decorations, but the colors will be black, red, and yellow AND I found these cool police lights (along with the traffic light above) for the tables. Most of the party favors were found at the "Oriental Trading Co". The rest of this week is pretty booked in preparation for the party.
Tomorrow, our boy will turn 5 years old! I can't believe how fast the time has gone already. He will also be riding the school bus for kindergarten orientation- the bus will pick up the children and drop them off at school to meet their teacher and get a feel for what the first day of school will be like. He did give me a hard time about riding the bus to school, he told me "It freaks me out *his hands waving all about*!". I asked what the issue was and he doesn't like the fact that the stop sign attached to the bus goes in and out..of all people, Jake, afraid of a SIGN! But after heading to the school last week to drop off paperwork, he was able to take a little tour and to see his new class (which was his class from last year), and to talk to the teacher next door who happened to get him all excited about riding the bus (we also took out books from the library about the bus and first day of school). After the bus ride Nana, Grammy, and Grampy will stay and have pizza and cake to celebrate his big day.
Thursday will be Jake's first day of school. Lets keep our fingers crossed that he has a good day!
(Because of his allergy to peanut oil, his class will be labeled an "awareness zone". Although he does not eat peanut butter, he will break out in hives if he comes in contact with peanut butter/peanut shells).
Saturday will be the big event. Again, lets keep our fingers crossed that he has a good day! (Reference the picture of him scowling at Steven's birthday party if you are wondering why I say this..."not so nice Jake" has been visiting more often).
Sunday we will probably be be heading to the fair!
Oh, and yeah, I did cut his hair a little too short! Ooops. He got me back though by peeing in the tub while Kaleb was playing in the water. Then Kaleb got me as I was draining the water- I noticed little specs floating in the water...yeah..he pooped in the bath!! It was gross...especially because he was in one of those tub seats and it was flattened down like a pancake!!
