Busy Days

Well its been a busy couple of days. Yesterday I went to treatment and then spent the rest of the day at school. I had a great time there and got a huge surprise! My teachers gave me a very cool firetruck jungle gym! They are way to good to me. I love them lots and its not because they buy me cool stuff! And a special thanks to Mr T.J. and his buddy who lifted the 800lb "toy" over the fence because it was to big to fit through the gate, mommy, Mego, Ms. Kim and Mr. Tom helped too!

Then today my good friend Mr. James had a big party at his bar so everyone who hasn't seen me lately could come and say high, eat good food and hang out. Ms Kelly and all my friends at my mom's work did a great job organizing it and Pizza Joe & Mr. Ben (not my dad) worked the grill! It was so yummy and I saw a lot of great friends.

Thank you all, I love you!!
Lil' Ben

Boy, it sure was big day yesterday AND today for you, Ben. I finally got to meet your WONDERFUL teachers this afternoon at Mr. James'. I had NO idea of what they had done yesterday. I'm going to come sneak a look at that firetruck jungle gym in your backyard. I've never heard of such a wonderful thing.
I liked watching you and Ms. Kelly playing tic tac toe and hop scotch and you and Sophia seemed to be enjoying each other too while I ate the best brownie (and other yummy things). It sure was a nice day for a get together.
Here's a joke for the day: What do you call a fairy who doesn't bathe for a year? Stinkerbell.

Love, Megan's mom, Peg

Ben, my little man, "way too good to you"? - tell Mom there ain't no such thing!! Just not possible! And we LOVED rolling down the levee with you and Shaunee today. I hadn't done that in years.
All the love in the world,
Ms. Mel

P.S. Great job Kelly and Mr. James. The food was great!

Ahoy Ben - WOW - a firetruck jungle gym...How cool is that? Maybe your mom and dad could put a piture of it up on your blog for us to see. We know some pretty cool firefighters here in Phoenix so if you're ever in the valley we know who you can visit!

MMMMMM...wonder what kind of jokes we can share today???? How about some firefighter jokes?

Here goes...
Why do firemen wear "red" suspenders?
To hold up their pants.

What kind of ears do pumpers have? Engineers

What did the fireman say when the church caught on fire?
"Holy smoke!"

On that note, we'll say...
Adios amigos!
Ginger and Dave

Hey Ben,

I'm so glad that you like your fire truck. Just make sure that Shaunee lets you play on it, too! I agree with Ms. Mel, too, there is no way we could EVER be TOO good to you! I'm happy that you had fun at your party yesterday. Have a good day, and maybe I'll see you at school tomorrow. Love you.

Hiya, Ben,
Sounds like you had good day today. Was that a Xmas tree you cut down? Megan, I, Lauren, and Kyle decorated their tree today and wrapped presents too. Last night Mike surprised Megan when she was working down at the Aquarium by decorating the front of the house and getting two little white trees at Walgreen's to add to the yard. I can't wait to see it in the dark. Kyle and I also put up some candy canes like yours though we had a lot of trouble getting them in the ground because it was so hard.
Here's a Walt Disney joke for the day: Why did Sleepy, the dwarf, take firewood to bed with him?
He wanted to sleep like a log.

Hi Ben - A firetruck jungle gym sounds amazing!!! I'm so glad you had fun with your friends at school and at the party. You sure are eating some yummy food (makes me hungry sitting here at work, which is very boring). I think instead of working, I'll sit here and think about how fun it would be to play with you in your new firetruck gym! Have a wonderful, terrific, fantastic day!! Love, Aunt Robyn

Hi, Ben,

Wanted to say goodnight. I'm going to drive with Megan and some of the baby cranes up to their refuge in Mississippi tomorrow so must get to bed. So here's another Disney joke for you:
What's Grumpy's favorite fruit?
Sour grapes.

Love, Megan's mom, Peg

I'm BAAAACK from Mississippi and very tired after a long but interesting (and muddy) day. All the young cranes were delighted with their new quarters at the Refuge with big puddles and a very nice pond. They didn't enjoy so much getting their new-type radio antenna back packs put on but were very good on the whole. Megan put up with her mother with great patience too.
Here's a Disney joke for the day:
Why did Dopey take a box of crayons with him into the bedroom? Because Snow White asked him to draw the curtains.

Love, Megan's mom, Peg
