But it was a fun experience. Novalee kept telling me she was going to go to the fire station. On the day that she was going to go she said, "Mom today I'm going to go to the fire station." Which I'm sure I just said, "That's nice honey." But didn't really listen since she is four and still struggles with the concept of time. Yesterday is tomorrow, last year was a couple of months ago, you get the idea. :)
In my defense can I just say I never got any information about a field trip? I guess that is what happens when your kid misses the Friday before.
Then I got a text from a mom of one of the other girls at school asking me if it was okay if she drove Novalee to the station.
Holy freak out! I guess Novalee was right. So I told her that it was fine and I should probably come too since it was her first field trip.
So I quickly got myself ready and Sadie and drove the couple minutes over to the station. Anyways, crisis diverted. :) I made it, even if I had stank breath.
They first had a meeting and talked about fire safety. At one point Novalee raised her hand to ask a question and of course when all eyes were on her she took the opportunity to tattle on her brother. "Did you know my brother the other day played with matches?" Great... I'm definitely not winning the "Mommy of the Year" award.
After the trip through the fire truck they gave everyone a chance to hold the fire hose. Novalee did what she does best and upped the fun a little and tried to make the water go back and forth instead of just straight which quickly brought her turn to an end.
I guess fire stations disgust Sadie? Here she is gagging herself??? :)
