Little girls grow up way too fast!!!
Monday was Emma’s 5th birthday…
and it was spent in the RV, at the fireworks stand, just like every one of her birthdays have been…
We had these wild firework/birthday candle flowers in the stand, and Emma decided that she would LOVE to have one on her cake – a pink one of course. 
We had never done one before, so I stuck it on her birthday-donut-cake and lit it while it was sitting on the counter. Under the cabinets.

It should say ‘light only in a wide open area’.
Because, even tho we live in a Wide Open, it’s not very wide open under the cupboards.
Thought I was gonna start the 5th wheel on fire!!! LOL!
When the flower candle thingy comes out of the box, the petals are all curled up, and all the candles are in the middle on top. You place a match down the center of the petals, which lights all the candles; turning, the petals unfold, lowering the candles, and playing “Happy Birthday”.
It also lights a crackling fountain.
Ooops!
We were all so wide-eyed, jaw-on-the-floor, that no-one thought to take a picture!
ROFLOL!!!
ROFLOL!!!
We may have to light another just so I can get a picture of what it did! It wouldn’t be on the cake though – I guess that I could put it on the half that is left, but it wouldn’t be a very pretty picture…Peanut came in the camper later, and she scooped every bit of pink frosting off and ate it!!! I fully trust that her brothers will keep her safe when they are watching her, but they apparently don’t take notice of her interaction with harmless little things like pink frosting.Life in a camper means that we buy gifts a little differently. They must be small.
I didn’t really do so great on the small aspect this time.

She gets a movie every year – it’s small 😉 and it keeps the little girls entranced for at least a couple of hours (firework stands are REALLY boring!)
I thought that the girls would love the Strawberry Shortcake pool that we gave Emma, but eh, not so much… it lasted about 5 minutes – I think that the boys played with it more trying to figure out how the little shower on it worked.

I bought her tea set because I liked it, and it ended up being the greatest (she has good taste). She and Peanut have played with it for hours and hours; and gone through gallons and gallons of water – which you tend to notice more when you are limited to 110 gallons!
She even got her brothers in on it…
Jake heard the camera click, looked at me deathly serious, and said “Mom, don’t put that on the blog!” hehehe! -he’ll forgive me some day!
Joel, well, Joel doesn’t care a hoot what his friends think – he’d play with his sister on her birthday All Day if that’s what she wanted. Course, so would Jake if the camera is not around!

Happy Birthday to our sweet Emmaline Mae! We love you oodles!
