Barclay, Madison and Mac all received their costumes in the mail this week. We all tried them on and looked at ourselves in the mirror, a lot. Barclay had already decided that she did not want this bunny costume (she was going for sweet bunny, not creepy magician's hat bunny), but she still insisted on trying it on, just to be sure (she's sure). Madison is Hannah Montana - I'm going to work on getting over that one. And Mac is ... well, that one was an easy choice.
Barclay's Kindergarten class went to the fire station today. I am getting to be a regular at the fire stations around town - I have been on many such field trips with the kids and their various classes, but I must say, this was the best "tour" thus far. The cutest young firemen you have ever seen in your life (I whistled a George Strait tune the whole time), a tour of the living quarters and the inside of the truck, topped off with an actual emergency, calling the firemen off at the end of our tour. Super cool.
So neat to climb up into the cab! Too bad little brothers can't go on UMS field trips - he would have been beside himself. They even let the kids take a turn spraying the hose!
This station is on Lafayette, just past Dauphin St. It is the most authentic fire house I have ever seen. I really want to have my own fireman's pole. Just a thought for Santa one of these days.
