Oh the activities we are doing!

Ringing the Fire Alarms

On Monday, we went to our local fire station to say thank you to the Fire Fighters for all they do to help our community.  We brought them the fixings for Rootbeer floats.  Then they gave us a tour and helped Greg to complete some requirements for his Readyman achievement for Cub Scouts.  We had a great time learning about the trucks and the work the fire fighters do. 
Today was a "no screen" day (no TV or computer games), so to keep the kids occupied after dinner, we made marshmallow sculptures.  They really got into and Elijah said, "I'm really creative".  I love that boy.  (Both of these ideas, and the Screen Day idea come from a blog that I follow called My Mix of Six.  She is an amazing mother.)
