This past Monday we had our annual fire safety family home evening. We have it every year when Korbin arrives home from school with a note in his backpack that tells us to have it. So we do.
We devised an emergency plan. Practiced how to call and what to say to a dispatcher. We learned how to touch the door and crawl on our bellies. But, the kicker was when we talked about if worst comes to worst Korbin must jump out of his window on to the grass and run to the Potters house for help. We did NOT practice this. However, he is constantly saying 'Oh mom the stove is on- its getting pretty hot in here" runs to his room Screams "Hey! My door is warm can I jump now?" and then proceeds to have a meltdown when we tell him that no our house is not on fire and he may not jump out of his window. I don't think this was a great idea because now he wants to start a fire so he is allowed to jump. It doesn't help when Jaxon thinks the grill is a personal arsenal for entertainment. See why FHE sucks and we should only do fun things like swimming instead of 'teaching' our kids something. Next thing we know Im gonna be posting about a trip to the ER and a cast!

Every few weeks, Max remembers and reminds me that we haven't bought the emergency escape rope ladder for his window.....It's important, "because I need to practice Mom"... yaa.....that's sooooo not gonna happen.
