Our Fall Break- Makin' Smores

So, last night we built, ahem, David built a fire in our big backyard (we live in the country, don't worry) specifically so that we could roast marshmallows and make smores for the kids. As you can see in the first picture, it got a little hairy when the wind changed directions every so often and blew smoke and cinders at our faces. Here is poor Kelly shielding his eyes.

And here is Spencer, partaking of his gooey treat.

And Adria, getting ready to roast "just one more" marshmallow. And yes, I am pregnant so I had to eat smores for 2. It was very yummy. And I don't think I have tasted a smore in years. Made it all the better.

And this picture of Wil eating is smore kind of looks like I caught him off gaurd, doesn't it? My poor kids, mommy is definately not winning any awards for photography. It makes for very interesting scrapbooking, though.

Did I mention that I love fall? It is so nice being pregnant minus the humid summer.

The Hungry Little Coonapillar

After attending the Caterpillar/Butterfly themed Story Hour at the Library this week, Wil said, "Mommy, I am a caterpillar. I came out of my racoon and turned into a butterfly." Poor racoon. Maybe we should try to learn the word pupa. It might clear some things up for him :)

Wil's Birthday

Wil is now 4- even though he is only around 3 feet tall! I love my little guy. His birthday was actually on August 9th, but better late than never, right? He had a Thomas The Tank Engine birthday party this year, and I even made him a Thomas cake (it was a little rough around the edges, but Wil still loved it, anyway). I have to say that he anticipated this birthday for months as his older siblings talked it up big time all summer. He liked his presents, but his favorite thing was definitely the cake.

Kelly the Superhero

Kelly, age 9, has a secret superpower- speed. Not only is he the fastest dresser that I have ever witnessed (which we have known for a couple of years), but tonight I found out that he can take a shower, get dressed, and put away his dirty clothes all during a commercial break. Zowie!
