The weather has dropped into the middle 40's at night and we're loving the cooler temperatures! We made a campfire last evening and toasted marshmallows. And of course devoured s'mores! Even Elle was begging for graham crackers and marshmallows (though she only had one). I think having family time like this is so important-- laughing and sharing stories. Especially during the teenage years when the kids are starting to do things on their own. They both went to the High School Football Game with friends on Friday night and had a blast. Now we're considering getting a camper in another year so we can make some more good memories before they grow up and are gone!
One more thing... I had a leek left so I snuck it into homemade macaroni and cheese and they loved it. They never knew it was in there! And I just baked homemade chocolate chip cookies...yum. I think cooking and baking from scratch for your kids is one of the best things a parent can do. Of course they may never leave home at this rate! Hope you are having a good weekend too!

One of the best parts of cooking 'from scratch' besides the obvious health benefits of eating real food is the opportunity to teach your children to cook for themselves. All four of mine left home able to take care of their own cooking. Even the boys know how to bake bread and pies! When we married, my husband was a better cook than I was.
Now I'm hungry for chocolate chip oatmeal cookies!!
Looks like a great time! I love the fire pit and am thinking about getting one. We just don't have too many days to enjoy it. We went with the boys to the last few football games. It is lots of fun! I love the camper idea.
That looks like so much fun! Wish we had a fire pit like that! I'm loving this fall weather, too!
I like your campfires!
fire pit... It's the first time I see that... It's wonderful!
The photos are very nice!
I love your outdoor fire pit! It looks like a lovely evening was indeed had. I'm just back from 10 days of holiday - 3 days in London and a week in beautiful sunny south of France - loved it all! Unfortunately I can't post any of the pictures I took because I left my camera at my parents today....they'll have to wait.
Will email soon!
