Friday Night Family Night

Tonight I really wanted to take Kya to the drive-in and see "UP"...but we decided to spend the day digging out a firepit in our backyard and tonight, we roasted mallows. Carl and I have been wanting a firepit for a long time, and now that we own our own house...we can have one. I want to put some cute bricks around the pit to make it look official and nice, and not just a big hole in our backyard. Kya loved helping out today. She was picking up sticks and grass clumps and helping in any way she could. Zander sat in the Bumbo seat and watched. He loves to be outside. I forgot to get a picture of him outside...because he was already in bed for the mallow roast. Poor kid, he's not feeling well lately.
So here are some pics of the mallows. Good times!! I love spending time with my family, and now we don't have to drive 45 minutes to enjoy a night by the campfire. Maybe somenight we will put the tent up and camp it in the yard.

Kya made her own roasting stick.

I can't wait to come and try out the pit! Sorry we bailed on you. I feel bad but hopefully we can on Tues. I love the pictures of Zander in his Bumbo chair. Such cute smiles. He is a charmer.

Isn't it so fun having your own yard to do whatever you want with? Your fire pit looks like lots of fun. What a great family fun night!
