Bits and Bobs

Leo had an opportunity to attend the Junior Fire Academy this week. So much excitement!

She’s taken great pride in showing off her bruises; found out she doesn’t like heights as she was about to rappel off the top of the fire tower; 

learned new skills - first aid, fire suppression methods (so many shoveling techniques!) and physical fitness - she can now do “real” push-ups!

She came home today soaking wet - and thrilled about it - from having fire hoses turned on her group as part of a team exercise. Does she want to be a firefighter? Yes - but she’d rather be a pilot for a fire department. Gotta dream big! 

Little Miss Take My Picture! posed with today’s outfit of choice - Pikachu hat, favorite shades, omnipresent headphones and her current favorite stuffies, Night and Galaxy. 

Yesterday it was “I love this straw! It’s my favorite! I hope I have it forever!” Good thing we have a whole pack of (almost identical) reusable straws. A happy Jackie is a fun Jackie.

My new ‘do for our Alaska trip. 

It’s a little more coloring than I wanted but I love it. My stylist and I were both surprised by the color - the (temporary) dye was a dark purple but because she didn’t bleach my hair (there’s some benefit to having gray/white hair!) it turned out more violet. 

Jackie very much approves.
