Birthday Candles

Today is my little Cael-Bugs birthday. 3... 3! I cannot believe it. He wanted to have muffins for his birthday so I made muffins and then told the boys they couldn't eat yet, because I wanted to put candles in a muffin and sing to him (this is his first birthday that he really gets whats going on. He's been asking us for things for months for his birthday!) Well, Carson gets all excited and is immediatley on the counter fishing candles out of the cupboard. Now I need to give a little background. When the boys were young they played with matches and fire every chance they got. After catching Carter for the third time lighting fires in my closet, I called 911 on him and asked if it was possible to send someone out to scare him, sirons and all, because he was going to burn the house down if something didn't happen. The dispatcher calmed me down (because I was crying pretty hysterical!) and then gave me a number to call. Needless to say, Fireman Bob and my family became GOOD friends, as Carter was a HIGH risk level for starting fires. We had to have many "sessions" with Fireman Bob and the kids, and since he was such high risk, he told me to get rid of EVERY thing that could start fire. So...back to today. I didn't even think how to light the candles. Carson says, "Mom, I know where a lighter is. Do you want me to go get it?" I looked at him funny and said come show me. We walk to my closet (where they are not allowed to go) and he tells me, "Ok mom. See that pink box up on the top shelf. Get all of dads packs (little first aid hiking kits) out of it and then there will be the candles we use for Valentines dinner (tea light candles) and under those there will be a red lighter." He was standing at the door watching me do all of this. Sure enough, just as he said it would be, it was there! How in the heck did he know that??? I don't even know how he could reach it. I could BARELY reach it. Kids are unbelievable sometimes!!! All I can say is I am sure Heavenly Father helps me more than I could ever imagine. I think the things they do are crazy...I don't even want to know the things that I never see or know of!
