Katra held a bake sale to raise money for Obama as part of our neighborhood garage sale. Karl baked some goodies and a number of people dropped off more to sell. All told we raised over $100, and had some baked goods left over to donate to a local womens’ shelter.
The theme for Kyle’s fourth birthday party was “Cars” (from the movie). There was a Cars cake, Cars plates, Cars balloons and Cars party hats.
Yay birthday cake!
Cars!
Blowing out the candle
Last weekend our street held a block party. The street was closed off, and there was food, a bounce house, and – as a big surprise for the kids – the Oswego Fire Department came by with a fire truck and ambulance.
Kyle immediately wanted to climb on the fire truck. He climbed all the way to the top before we had to pull him down.
He also got to sit inside the firetruck:
and sat inside the ambulance, too. He was very helpful, and tried to show the paramedic how to use some of the equipment.
