Multipurpose
The boys continue to find many uses for their favorite play items. In addition to being football men, they have also enjoyed "kating" (skating in Asher terminology) in the living room this week. Their slippers are their skates (Asher's are classy, rubber lined, light up slippers - which really, is a bonus for him because the rubber keeps him from slipping), and their fire helmets are their hockey-men hats so when they fall, their heads don't get hurt (according to Ezra).
Asher said he was bowing down when he was doing this move. I interpret this one of two ways. He is either doing a pirouette of sorts as he is skating. Or, Vince has taught the boys when they go down a slide or do a cool jump, to put their hands up in the air, do a super-arch in their backs, and say, "ta daaa" when they're done (like the Olympic gymnasts do after a vault or some other performance).
You may think that the boys are still hockey-men in this photo, but they are, in fact, firemen. How can one tell? Well, there is the clear addition of the fire coats. They are no longer wearing their skates, but rather, Asher has on fire boots. Ezra has his fire-radio and Asher, who is the fire chief, is on the phone learning about a fire (clearly his conversation is concerning - which you can tell by the concentration on his face).
When the boys were done being firemen and hockey-men, Obed got in on the action. He was a hockey-skater-fire-slipper-eater man.

Such versatile boys. They are going to have a hard time choosing a career.
It is good to know that Nearly Canada has such dedicated firemen prepared at any moment to answer when the siren calls. I can see the concern on Asher's face. And Ezra looks prepared for any emergency! Also, I was reading the warning on Obed's hat...I'm glad he was chewing on the slipper and not the hat. :) Such fun days.
