King for a day

I did a search for "king for a day lyrics" and several came back. Based on your age you may recognize these lyrics: age 15-20 years, 20-30 years , 30-40 years (click on years and scroll down to watch the video). I do not know the demographics on this one but it is kind of catchy............... Okay I am back. I just finished break-dancing and doing the robot to my age appropriate "King for a Day" song. After watching the Thompson Twins video I also got a haircut.

We had another birthday to celebrate and it involved trains big and small.

The small train was Ivan's birthday present.

The big train was the Copper King Express. It is a pleasurable ride beginning just a few blocks from our house. I think we rode on its final trip. It had a couple of more rides scheduled after ours but they may have been cancelled due to weather. It was nice. Santa and the Grinch were both part of the trip. The kids each had their own response to seeing Santa approaching our booth.

Ivan seems excited and pretty confident that he is on the good list.

Liza had more of a detached, "I hope he does not see me, I am not positive which list I am on and I would like to improve my qualifications for the good list before I talk to him and force him into a decision" look about her.

As birthdays should, this one came with numerous presents.

One was a nifty Firehouse wooden piggy bank. It involved some assembly.

A little hammering.

Our rule around here is: Once you turn five years old, that's it you're out of the house. At least three mornings a week anyway. Ivan started preschool the day before his birthday. He was psyched to start and still likes it a lot.
