So, we went to Nathan's birthday party on Saturday at he Providence Volunteer Fire Station. Olive, seen here in her official plastic fire helmet, had a great time. They did a whole fire safety thing, and had a guy show the kids all the gear they have to wear. I guess I hadn't really thought about firemen being scary to kids, but seeing them all decked out and breathing through a respirator, I could see how kids might find them a little unnerving. All the kids got used to himt hough, and most of them sat there for a picture with Fireman Brian. Olive wanted nothing to do with him, but that's OK too. Then they took the kids out in the fire engine and drove down teh road and back, and they got to use the siren and everything. They were beaming. Olive had a window seat with Dad inteh fire engine. Today it is cool and rainy, and Dad took her out for awhile so I could attempt to sort out winter and summer clothes and weed stuff out to go to Goodwill. I'm not nearly done, but I made some progress.
