Sandy is going to bear down on us beginning tomorrow but today couldn't have been nicer for Will's 4th Birthday party. Instead of the usual damp 40's, today was dry and in the low 60's. As you'll guess from the pictures, it was a fire-fighter theme. Expect this again on Halloween if we get to go trick-or-treating (if we have power, or a house, by Wednesday).
Maggie and Stella got into the action with their personalized helmets (Patti made stickers for each helmet with each guest's name - pretty cute).
Will and Aidan, one of his school buddies, enjoyed a quiet moment in the firetruck that Patti spent days making. Thanks to Lowe's and a mommy list-serve for the two giant boxes.
Then everyone wanted a piece of the action. Surprisingly, the truck lasted two hours before it very quickly got destroyed.
Patrick broke away from manning the popcorn machine to manage some tug-of-war. The kids used a real firehouse that Pop brought with him from CT.
And then it was time for cake. Patti outdid herself with a fire-hydrant display of red velvet cupcakes, a firetruck birthday cake, cake-pops, homemade chili, Hook and Ladder beer, etc.
Enjoy the rest of the pictures in the blog's slideshow!
