My Two Little Firemen...and Buying Groceries for Growing Boys

ECFE field trip to the fire station last week.  Miles was BEYOND EXCITED, and wanted to bring his own fire hat from home.  He was glowing the entire time!

Jonas had fun, too, even though initially he was reluctant to come along. He thought he was just a little too cool, since the fire truck had already gone to "his" school the day prior

This made me feel hopeful - Miles actually CAN pay attention to something for longer than 10 seconds.  He stood perfectly still and quiet for a full 5 minutes while the fireman showed the kids his gear and trucks!

I just also want to document, in case I ever look back on these blogs when the boys are older, how much 4-year-old Jonas ate for supper tonight.  He ate 9 meatballs (yep, that's not a typo), 2 slices of bread toasted with butter and garlic, a side of corn, and 3/4 of a Honeycrisp apple.  And about 20 minutes later he wanted to know when snacktime would be.  Geez!  What will it be like when he's 14??

Do you not remember your brother's appetite? You used to cover your plate when he was around for fear of him eating off it. Good luck with two boys!
