Today we had our first wood fire as a family in our home EVER! I'm not talking just in this house, I mean EVER! Our house in Lubbock still had the directions taped to the firescreen when we moved out! LOL!When we lived in Iowa, we used the fireplace often, but it was gas logs and you just flipped a switch to turn it on and off. It was also closed off with glass so you couldn't roast marshmellows or hear the crackling of the logs, etc. Well, we had the full effect today!! Growing up I can probably count on one hand the times we had a fire in our fireplace at home, but I always loved it. Today was the perfect day to snuggle up given the nasty winds, on and off snow and sleet, and super cold temperatures. There is just something about sitting in front of a fire that just feels "homey" and comforting! And we actually had a jammie day for the whole family!!! Super fun! Not very often in our house does everyone want to spend the day veggin' out! LOL!
We decided to surprise the kids with smores this evening after dinner. So they got all excited and spread out a blanket and we gathered all the necessary supplies.
Let the roasting BEGIN!!!
So much gooey yummy-ness!!! MMMmmmm!
Unfortunately Colby has been sick all day. Poor guy has been such a trooper. I'm praying it's just the 24 hour bug the girls picked up a few weeks back, but who knows. We've been all over the place this past week so it's hard to say. Anyway, he didn't want to completely miss out on the fun and he even managed to find a smile for me!
We finished the night off with story time. We considered letting the kids have a "campout" in the living room, but they have yet to be in bed before 10:30 the entire week of spring break, so we thought it would be better to ease into it to not make tomorrow night such a BIG transition. Yea for a night of family memories!!
How fun! We miss y'all so much!
