We had a great Saturday of rest and fun around the house. We took the kids on a long wagon ride around the neighborhood, which they
liked. But they
LOVED when Brandon took them up the "hill" (small slope) of our yard and back down in the wagon. Buckled in, of course! It was a little chilly, but still felt good to just be outside. So, we used our firepit while Brandon grilled out for dinner. You can't have a firepit without s'mores!
I wasn't willing to give up two perfectly good metal hangers, so we just did two marshmallows on one hanger.
Brandon likes to set them on fire, but I think it just chars them and doesn't make them squishy enough for me. If it wasn't so hot, I would eat it right off of the hanger.
We didn't have graham crackers, so we just used saltines-which were really good. A good twist of sweet and salty. See the char? This one was Brandon's.
While we played with fire, we just zipped the kids in the trampoline. Every few minutes, Kate would demand a bite, and I think she was showing me her bite in this picture. They love being outside, and we are going to be so glad when it gets warmer and we can wear ourselves out.
See the marshmallow smeared on her face? I think she is a fan of s'mores. I wish we didn't all smell like bonfire now!
And here is my static-haired boy. He had a blast, and he screamed when we came back in. He got one more marshmallow and forgot all about why he was crying.
Then, Kate wanted to be a princess while we cleaned up the kitchen after dinner.
After all of the fun we had today, Kate wrapped it up with a little dancing in the kitchen with her daddy. I feel like I should tell you they were dancing to Kanye West... maybe not getting the Parents of the Year award, but she had so much fun. Brandon will probably LOVE this picture of the clenched-fist-jog-slowly-in-place dance move. :) Hope your weekend was restful and fun.

I've never had such a terrible case of cabin fever before. I can't wait for it to warm up so we can spend entire days outside! Love the cute pics...btw, I sold my breastpump today! Farewell fair friend! haha I was glad to see it go! I thought you'd get a kick outta that! I gave it a farewell kiss from you, not that you might not need one of its younger cousins one of these days, but I know I won't!
