Firefighters

Don't you love the new firefighter get-up? I'm not often one to get the kids things "just because." Gifts are saved for birthdays or Christmas...but this was one time I couldn't resist. With Jacob's unabated infatuation with firefighters and fire safety, the jackets and helmet were just too much to miss. They already have the fire hose backpacks (Christmas gifts from Aunt Kimmie), and this will save them dragging in their winter coats and hopefully their boots and mittens, too (so their hands and feet don't get burned, don't you know. Maybe they will overlook that part since they have "real" jackets now).
My excuse for them was Valentine's Day gifts...they've been well worth the investment so far!
