This was such a cute photo I couldn’t help but share it.  These are some of the kids in our walking group that we have in the morning.  This morning Truman decided to stick his head through the gate dividing our complex from the park and got it stuck.  I couldn’t get it out.  I tried and tried and finally Cynthia suggested I call the fire department.  As I was on the phone and a fire truck was being dispatched Laura L. came over and with superhuman strength pulled the bars apart and got Tru’s head out.  What a relief.  After reassuring the dispatch lady that I didn’t need an ambulance to check him out for injuries I hung up the phone.  He’s still pretty shaken about it but he is just fine.  I am really glad Laura got him out of there before the fire department was actually dispatched.  I asked Tru why he put put his head through the bars and he said he was trying to show Oli something.  What that something was I can’t figure out but I don’t think he’ll be doing that any time soon.  At least I hope he wont.  At least I know who to call now if he does.  That’s right, it’s you Laura.

I had the greatest time talking with my kids at bedtime last night.  Truman asked if jet packs were real since he plays Boba and Jango Fett on Lego Star Wars.  Well thank goodness I watch Mythbusters because I was able to tell him that they were in fact real, but not practical to use.  I then went on YouTube and found some jet packs for him to check out.  You see, the problem is that you can’t carry enough fuel to get very far.  You carry more fuel and then the pack is too heavy to lift off the ground.  Quite the problem.  So the jet packs that I have seen only stay in the air for like 30 seconds.  Not really long enough to get you to work.  It could get me to the park, but then I couldn’t get back.  Oh what would I do then?  I’m attaching one of the videos that Truman and I found.
