On Monday, The Family Joy will join forces with our friends Michael, Elke and their kids to volunteer as a celebration of MLK Day.
While we are committed to honoring the legacy of Dr. King by serving others, it's also true that there's no daycare on Monday and I need a game plan.
I contacted the people at my local Hands On organization to find out what family friendly MLK Day Service projects they had planned this year.
There was a long list and one was at a local fire station.
Fire station? Did someone say FIRE STATION?
We're so there.

OTJ- You can also check out your local Library for activities in honor of Dr. MLK Jr. Day... most Libraries aren't closed that day (at least the one I work at isn't... and we have loads of activities planned in honor of the day!)
Woo hoo! Wow! I'm able to leave a comment! Anyway, way to be a good citizen!
Cool-and thanks for the link! Even if we're too late to do something Monday, I'm bookmarking that link for further use.
Game plan, schmame plan. Have a good time.
I don't think I realized how stunning your children are. I'm not surprised, with them having a hot mama like you, but man. Good lookin' kids you've got there, girl. ;)
Have fun at the fire station!
I'm with Mama Tulip - the EYES on those kids. Holy crap!
Excellant! Fun will be had by all! What a worthy activity! Good job Mom! I agree with my fellow commenter's -- What absolutely beautiful children! You're so blessed!
That picture of the kid is amazing -- little mini K and J. Roo is so beautiful.
I'll add my voice to the chorus - they are adorable! I can't wait to hear the report.
Ah, and I was just planning on lounging around in pj's all day. You mean to tell me that I should plan activities? Darn it.
Off to plan.
Gorgeous kids! And clearly visiting a fire station will be a big hit with those two!
What a great way to spend MLK Day. I love the dress-up clothes. Bella would be all over that too.
Gorgeous kids... I'm not usually good with seeing family resemblances but I think you daughter definitely has your chin... lucky girl!
I will surely burn in hades for admitting this, but the first thing I thought was, "Why isn't OUR daycare closed on Monday?"
Cutie pie kids!
Seriously, it's great that you are setting such a great example for your kids.
Cutest little firefighters ever. You need to give an autographed copy of that to the fire dept.!
Your kids are beautiful!! Have fun. We don't have any plans, but I think it sounds like a great idea.
Fabulous pic! Enjoy your volunteer work!
Oh, the Joys are coming! Sounds like a win-win to me.
You have some pretty amazing looking kids. I cannot believe for a minute that Mayor has an attitude with his teacher.......I mean, I can almost make out a halo.
Man o man, I love visiting your home here............
dude. hot firemen.
i have a dream too...but well, it's about those hot firemen.
seriously, yes. good. you. always.
Agreed those are some good lookin' kiddos you've got!
What a great idea!!
I am so impressed with your civic mindedness! My grand plans included staying in my pajamas until at least noon. Thanks for making me feel bad! (hee-hee)
Have fun! I'm working.
Was MLK a fireman at one point? He did so much it's hard to keep track. :)
Fire stations and big red trucks rule.
Sooooooo cute. Love it!!
How cute!! Those little firefighters look like they'd fit right in around here!
Have fun at the firestation.
Carrie
Nice! Have fun.
Oh yeay! I think you all will have a blast.
That is a fantastic picture - hats and coats - but do they have boots? There must be boots!
Cute kid :)
yeah, you said something blahbity blah blah in your post, but oh those beautiful children! that's all that i took away with me!
Geez, you make me smile.
Your kids are soooo adorable.
Oh my goodness, your kids make me ache with their cuteness.
I love watching my husband and the rest of the guys get all mushy over kids at the fire station. There's nothing more heart warming than seeing these "big, strong, men" acting like idiots and climbing on to the truck to let the kids honk the horn. I think the guys like it more than the kids do, ha ha ha ha!!
volunteering and cute little outfits?! Bonus!
That's awesome! I watched the Martin Luther King movie on TV last night and was bawling by the time the hotel scene came on. Such a great man.
Could those kids be cuter? NO.
What precious babies you have!
