S'mores



We keep getting little Spring teasers. So the other night we pretended it was actually a Spring evening and took the kids outside, turned on the fire pit and roasted marshmellows to make s'mores. I dont know if everyone else has had the amount of sickness we have. But, we are SO ready for some warm weather. So so ready. Last week Ady had tonsillitis, a 103 degree fever and all the other junk that comes with it. This week it is Max with an acute case (actually there is nothing cute about it) of tonsillitis and 2 "raging ear infections" as the Dr/ put it. Poor kid, everytime I come at him with a medicine syringe or eardrops he screams and runs.
So, needless to stay we cannot wait for Spring to be here, and if it isn't here soon I am heading south.

My kids were just so happy to be playing outdoors


...mmm yummy...

Way cute pictures! I agree about the Spring teasers. I'm ready for it to be here to stay.

I am sorry your kids have been sick. That is no fun. The S'mores looked yummy. Looks like we will have to do that next FHE. I have never tried smores on anything other than graham crackers. Did you use vanilla oreo's?

What a great idea! I have to say, we here in Northern California are envious of all of your seasons, but I can understand how you would want spring to arrive! Were those vanilla Oreos you made s'mores with? What a great idea!!!

A fire pit...fun!
Here in South Carolina it has seriously been in the upper 80's. I am so not ready for summer weather in the south. Some steady spring weather would be lovely. =)

I feel your pain in regards to sick babies. We have 5 kids so, it get's passed along. Around here it has been strep throat, tonsilitis and ear infections. No fun!
Hope your kid's feel better!

Take care!

So sad the little kiddos have been so sick, that's never fun. You know I love the s'mores, a real fire is so much better than a microwave, or my little s'more cooker.

I totally agree, bring on the Spring! Even here in Vegas (we are so thinned skin here--60 is freezing) it's been sick central and I welcome the warm summer mornings soon!
Cute cute cute your little ones enjoying a scrumptious outdoor smore..Yummalicious!

Mmmmmmmmm, the s'more looks yummy! Great pictures. Hope the weather keeps getting warmer!

I totally agree about the whole sickness crap. This is my first winter with a baby, so I was totally blindsided. I am not sure if we actually ever get over the sickness or if we just keep passing it from one person to the next. St. George sounds better everyday :)

We had 4 wks of illness in Jan. We went through stomach flu, head colds, croup, ear infections and sinus infections. I almost lost my mind...totally understand. We are also moving into spring much slower than I want...and even w/ grey skies and barely 50 degree weather, Finn & I were walking the neighborhood tonight. I think he was as happy as I was to get out of the house. Hang in there... Oh yeah, and the dead flower thing...Finn did that to me too. I laughed...and agree, take what you can get!
