Fire Safety!

Matt's class was recently talking about the helpers in our community and on the day they talked about Firemen and fire safety the teacher reminded us parents to talk to with our kids about different ways to get out of the house and pick a meeting spot for the family. (Thank goodness the teachers do these things as we probably would have never discussed this as a family). So that night during dinner we talked about where we should meet in the event our house was on fire. Matt suggested that we meet by the fire truck. I could just see the little boy excitement in his eyes thinking about how cool it would be that a fire truck would be at our house just for us! And while that might be an obvious place to meet, we've decided that the neighbor's tree might be a better place and also out of the way. Hopefully we never need to meet at the tree.
