Just another day in paradise...

This morning, as we were going about our business as usual, our dog started barking at the front door. So I looked out to see what she was so upset about and this is what I saw:A school bus, a fire truck, a police car and an ambulance. All RIGHT in front of our house.

Now, except for the school bus, this is not an unusual occurance on our little 10 house cul-de-sac. Since we've lived her for three years, we've seen this sight six times. Twice for grandma, twice for some other elderly neighbors, and once because our next-door neighbors thought their house was on fire even though there was just a potato burning in their microwave (?).

Anyway, after assessing the situation and making sure that nothing traumatic was happening and double checking that they weren't here for grandma, the kids came outside to watch the action. Apparently, the school bus driver wasn't feeling well so away she went in an ambulance while the fire fighters and police officers were left to entertain the three little boys on the bus waiting for a new driver to come take them to their preschool.

While waiting for the new school bus driver, our friendly neighborhood firefighters offered to take pictures with us:
(Sensing that she was about to be left out of the family photo op, our dog somehow opened the sliding door and ran out to join us)

I love it Jules. Some moms have to do 3 field trips to get pictures and up close views of all these. But not, they COME TO YOU if you are a Gonsalves!!! So cute.
