Making good on a promise, Jody bought a family-size tent, and is planning to take Trevor camping soon. The kids enjoyed helping Daddy put the tent together (yes here it is in the house but what can you do when it's raining?) and playing in it, while Mommy kept muttering something like, "I can't believe there's a tent in the house..." Trevor also got his first sleeping bag, and tried it out inside the tent. Jody has promised to take Sarah camping too when she gets a little bigger. Of course, Sarah was jealous of the sleeping bag and they fought over it a little until we finally had to put it up. (We'll probably be going back to the store to get the pink one, too...). The whole thing was a welcome change after being stuck in the house with "nothing to do" during all of this rain!!!
Also this week was Preschool Fire Safety Week (who knew there was such a thing?), and two real firemen visited Trevor's preschool and he got to see one in his full uniform with a mask and everything. Someone from the local newspaper was there and took a photo. So, Trevor and several of his classmates ended up on the front page of the paper. It was a pleasant surprise! Of course, the next day, all Trev wanted to do was dress up in his fireman's costume and boots and respond to "emergencies" in the house, which involved repeatedly putting it on in a hurry and taking it off. It was cute, but a lot of work for Mom! He is very much into firemen (he's going to be one for Halloween, hence the costume) and he loves all things involving rescue vehicles. So it was a treat for him to see another fireman and touch his uniform.
