Okay, not really inside pictures, but this should help picture more of the yard! Our landlord said there were some bricks in the driveway to make a fire pit if we wanted to do that and showed us in the middle of the yard where there were plans to make one. Last Saturday I was trying to kill time until Andy came home from studying, so the kids and I made this fire pit! Tonight was our maiden roast in the new house!!! Although this picture looks smokey - it wasn't that way at all! All the smoke went up and stayed away from the people. The mosquitoes were different story though... (in the back you notice the OPEN window - our high today was 81 - and bigger windows on the left are above the kitchen sink so I can watch the kids play outside while cleaning those dishes! Also the box on the porch is a frog's home. Poor frog is probably completely traumatized from all the handling. Maybe he will warn his buddies to find another yard to live in!)
This cute little boy is in Annie's preschool class. He'd NEVER had a roasted marshmallow before and DIDN'T know what a S'MORE was!!! (completely deprived child, obviously!) As they were packing up to go, he was still asking for more marshmallows. Yippee!! Another convert!
Andy - working his magic to make me the perfect s'more. Love these bricks because we can lay the bottom graham cracker down to begin the chocolate-melting process! I sent Andy to the store to get the chocolate and he came home with peanut butter cups, a symphony bar (with the toffee), a cookies and cream bar, and the regular chocolate. They were so yummy!
What a great FHE! This weekend some of the law friends are coming over to do s'mores. Can't wait! But next time we'll have bug spray readily available!!!
