Sittin' By the Fire

Last night we had Will's cousins over for a bit. After dinner we headed out to the creek in the backyard and made smores.

Getting the sticks together

Starting things up

Our little firepit! Don't worry, right after
this picture we moved the toys far away.
Especially since we put Abby in that car one
behind so that she couldn't crawl near the fire.

Here is a picture of the clearing.... now that all the weeds and brush
are gone, its nice soft dirt for the kids to play in.

Aiden eating his smore.

Yum

Annie. Nice marshmallow goo on the lips - thats the way to eat it!

This was Will's first smore... he loved it of course.
(since he doesn't get chocolate very often)

The marshmallow roaster, we couldn't let the kids try and
roast any because we only had mini-marshmallows
on hand...so Josh had to roast them all, very carefully!


These are the steps Josh just started digging in the dirt so that
we don't have such a hard time walking down the steep bank.

The boys floating in the creek.

And ending up muddy messes!

What more could a boy want than to be covered in mud?!

The bath tub looked real pretty after they were done...
