Firefighter Fun Day

We had one of those extra-special days.  You know the ones where everything just sort of falls into place?  When everyone is getting along and we're all full of smiles and enjoying one another so much.  Those are the best days, and I treasure them!  Lizzy didn't have school one Monday, but Peter did.  We all enjoyed taking him to school, and since it was Firefighter Day, there was an extra buzz around school.  Lizzy, of course, dove right in, and followed Peter all around as he showed her the fun activities of the day.  They did an art project, played in the "burning" house, and ran all around.  Then, we left Peter to play at school, and us girls enjoyed some rare, and much deserved girl time.  We hit the mall and ordered some yummy hot chocolates.  I loved getting to have some special time just with Lizzy, to enjoy her sweet company and get to chat and just be together.  We hurried back to school so we wouldn't miss the firefighters when they arrived.  Boy were we in for a treat!  They showed us all the cool parts of their trucks, and Lizzy and Peter even got to spray their hose- awesome!  Afterwards we decided to treat ourselves to lunch since it was such a special day.  Lizzy and Peter ran hand-in-hand all around the mall, exploring all their favorite spots together.  I just love when they're like this- so sweet together and having such fun.  What a great day!
