It's not easy on our 18 month old when Daddy is gone for over 24 hours. The firefighter really do appreciate things like this. As the wife of a firefighter, I can't thank you enough for doing this.

LOL <br /><br />So, the Vikings and I have made it a habit to ask for the remainders and take them to our fire station on the way home! Yesterday? Popsicles after a park date! LOL<br /><br />DaHubby and I also use to work law enforcement in our pre-kids-and marriage lives (me in dispatch, DaHubs on the road). Thank-yous come rarely but are greatly appreciated!

The thank-you's they receive are priceless. Considering his line of work, the thank-you's usually come after the fact because when he's working, it's usually a situation where there's no time for chit-chat. The best form of a thank you is when someone calls the sheriff's office and leaves word that 'they'd like to thank Officer X for all that they did' or they send a note of thanks via the department.

I know that fire fighters love having kids into the station, because fire fighters are just big kids with big trucks :>) Bringing treats is such a great and thoughtful thing to do!
