This weekend the housing company sponsored a Fall Festival for all the people living on the Air Force Base. Each person got a free pumpkin, and each family got a free mum. They also had yummy popcorn, a few games for the kids, and best of all, the Fire Department was there. They had a fun obstacle course for the kids. They dressed in their uniforms and it went a little something like this...
-Climb up the blow-up ladder and slide down the slide
-Run over to a tarp and stop, drop, and roll across the tarp
-Help a fireman pull a dummy across the next tarp
-use a mallet to hammer a piece or wood through a path
-AND BEST OF ALL!...help a fireman pull the hose out and spray a cone
Cooper was SO into the competition. As most of you know, he is a pretty competitive kid! They had an announcer saying the kids names over the loudspeaker and cheering them on. It was cute. Gunner did love getting dressed up...and just joined the course as he pleased, mostly enjoying the stop, drop and roll.
They also got to climb up in the fire truck, and meet Smokey the Bear and Sparky the Dog.
Earlier this week, the boys also got to meet the firemen at Story Time at the library for National Fire Safety Month. 
Also, we went to this month's Family Story Time and got to watch these two cute old women at the library make fools of themselves as they dressed up mummies, flew around dinosaurs, and read and acted out stories. They are really cute. The boys got to make these hands with candy corn as the fingernails, and then filled with popcorn, and then they got presented a reading certificate. They loved it. Except Gunner was scared of the mummy.
Gunner has been pretty funny with Halloween stuff this year. Cooper loves to go to Target and push all the "try me" buttons on all the decorations. Gunner is scared to death! Anytime he sees or hears something Halloweenish, he whines as says, "No Ha-ween!" I think it's pretty cute. Cooper is counting down the days until Halloween. He is excited to be Superman, but already has his costumes lined up for the next few years. "Mom, next year I want to be Spongebob, and then I want to be a skeleton, and then a pirate, and then I am going to be Batman again, ok?"

Looks like so much fun. The boys look darling. Who doesn't love a little boy in a fireman costume?
how fun! the boys look like they had a great time with all the firemen. And the thought of those two old women at the library "making fools of themselves" is giving me a good laugh! we're going to miss doing halloween with you guys this year!
What a fun day! I sooo miss the Cleveland library, or any good library for that matter. Our library here in little Kaysville is the dinkiest, lame-o library ever! You look like you are having so much fun as a family!
You are having way too much fun. I love all the pics. Your boys are too cute.
I love the picture of your fire fighter cuties. This is a wonderful blog.
I would like to use this picture in a blog I am doing - it's for a friend who is gaga over firefighter calendars. She's expecting a picture of hunks and I thought she would love this picture even more (she's the mother of four boys and relates).
Thank you again - and God bless you and your family.
