In my tiredness last night, I forgot to mention one exciting tidbit about Chloe's party: HER HAIR CAUGHT FIRE! As you can see from this picture pre-fire, her hair was a bit in her face and flying about the flames. Next thing we know, a piece on her right side lights up, then flames head up towards her scalp. Fast acting Grandma reaches across the table and puts out the flames with her fingertips, like the tough broad that she is. (mental note: call Grandma to see how her burnt fingers are today.) I dropped my camera and rushed to Chloe (darn it that I wasn't videotaping at the moment) and everyone was of course relieved and laughing. Chloe has a small section of hair that is now very short and a bit rough, and it took a good 20 minutes for the smell of burnt hair to leave the living room. Alls well that ends well, and we now have a fun 5th birthday story! PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: Boys and Girls, when you are blowing out birthday candles, either blow hard and stand back, or make sure all hair is securely tied behind you.
