Fireman Will

There was great excitement at The Chism house yesterday. I am sure many of you were celebrating a presidential victory. Some of you might have just been celebrating the fact that all of those political ads will finally be over;) We, on the other hand, we celebrating Will and his "Fire Escape Plan" win.
A few weeks ago, the fire department came to Will's school to talk fire safety. At the close of their presentation, they promoted a contest for the students to draw up a fire escape plan for his or her home. Well, since I was a pathetic mom during the last extra curricular activity (essay on being a Student of Excellence), I decided this would be something good for Will.
As usual, I thought Will did a great job with his plan. I believed he should win but then again, most of the time I think my children should win. Well, low and behold, Will won! We got a call from the Assistant Principal, which I might add is a terrible thing to see on caller ID, saying that Will's plan was chosen over all the other students in his school and the prize was a ride to school in a firetruck. Woo hoo!!!
Yesterday morning at 7:00 am, Will was picked up at our front door in the fire department's Hum V (spelling?). After a few photo ops, he was off to McDonalds and then the fire station to chat it up with the guys! Then at about 8:15 am they brought him to school with his classmates waiting anxiously outside, cheering him on. I had hoped to get video of this but I am technologically ignorant and I missed it:( It was really cute though. He might as well have won the presidency with the reception he received. As they pulled into the parking lot with the sirens and lights going, his classmates clapped and yelled, "Yea Will!" It was precious.
I have got to give some major praise to The Springdale Fire Department. They really made this a spectacular memory for Will. We felt that the fire department went so far past what we would have ever expected. Yesterday was a very special day for Will. A memory was created that will stay with our family for a very long time:)
Congratulations Fireman Will and Thank you Springdale Fire Department.There was great excitement at The Chism house yesterday. I am sure many of you were celebrating a presidential victory.
