Trick Or Treat at the Firehouse!

After trick or treating in Tim & Casey's neighborhood, I took the kids to the firehouse to see Uncle Brian.
As you can see the boys decided to loose their costumes.
"Any Many Minny Moe which piece of candy should I choose?"
Captain Dave is always full of pranks. Dave has been Brian's Captain since Keagan was a baby. He is like a second dad to our kids and like an older brother to Brian (sometimes we just refer to Dave as Brian's "second wife"). We love him dearly.

"Claire, that is just Dave. He will seriously pick you up and tickle you!" Claire gave a big grin after Beth shared that news with her and later in the evening she let Dave pick her up.

"Oh, he got me!"

Keagan all dressed up in daddy's gear.

A doggy pile version of "Stop, Drop, and Roll".

Dave playing a game of chase around with Bethany and Claire around the fire engines. Claire and Bethany's squeals echoing in the Apparatus Bay.

This was Landon's first tour to the new Station 4. He was enthralled with everything! Uncle Brian didn't seem to mind the lateness of the evening. He showed Landon every compartment and every tool. Landon was full of questions. In the midst of the coas going on with Dave and the other kids, these two were in their own little world. There was still more for Landon to see, so Uncle Brian plans on taking Landon back for another look around the fire house.

Every little boy wants to look under the fire engine just to see how everything works, right?

Brian is blushing after Bethany told him, "Daddy you need to pull up your pants, your panties are showing!"
Thank you so very much Captain Dave, Firefighter Chris and Daddy/Uncle Brian for making memories with us on this special Halloween night. You guys are the BEST!

I absolutley LOVE these pictures!!!! Landon was soooo in his element, he loves fire trucks and figuring out how things work. He wanted to see the pictures over and over again.

Today he got his huge fire truck out and his 2 firemen action figures. His fireman was "Uncle Brian" and Claire's fireman was "Chris". He wanted another doll and so I suggested using Claire's Barbies (not knowing what they would be for). He wanted a "Dave" fireman and after getting the Cinderella Barbie out and looking at it, he decided that they would play without a Dave. Those 3 guys made a BIG impression in this little boy's heart!

Thanks so much!!!!
