This evening, while Kevin and I were upstairs debating the merits of the paint colors "Drizzle" and "Toasty Gray" for the bathroom reno, the kids were playing outside . We did see them hosing off the fire pit, but otherwise we were lost in our selection of what will no doubt be a terrible color choice, as our color spirit guides are unicorns that love Easter. Meanwhile, the children relocated the (now) wet fire pit, surrounded it with chairs they found in the garage and brought out marshmallows and roasting sticks. How do you say no to that? And then, Stephanie adds, "Mom, why don't you bring out your camera?". Honestly, I didn't really feel like it, but I wasn't going to turn down the request, because I was happy she had made it.
It took the kids a little time to get the hang of roasting marshmallows vs setting them on fire, but they were pros by marshmallow #3 (at which point I cut them off). They also found a fun area to set up the fire pit- they might be on to a new yard addition.
Look at me, playing with the focus- to moderate success even!
