Today the 4th graders at South/West Park Elementary got a spray down from the local firefighters. They, of course, taught them of fire safety beforehand. They had this small version of a house that had several levels to it. The firefighters showed how easy it was for a fire to start at the bottom and then to spread all the way to the top. It was a reminder to me just how dangerous fire really is. I love going to these things because of different perspectives you get. I was talking to a mom next to me who says that she has her younger children open the windows on their own every once in a while just to make sure they are strong enough to get them open in case she was not near during a fire (and that was their only way to escape). I am grateful for moms who open up about things like that because I just got through making sure Hyrum knew how to open our windows as well as getting the screens out.
But I'm sure the 4th graders were more interested in this:
(the townhouses behind them is where we live)
That is one happy boy!
I think I am going to have to pack up Levi's long sleeved shirts. It is a little chilly in the morning so he almost always puts on a long sleeved shirt for school but within a few hours it is hot. To make it worse, he is always wearing his pull over OU sweater/jacket. I tell him when he gets inside that he should take off that jacket but he refuses. I don't see how he can stand it but he insists he is not hot. Crazy kid!
