When you were little.....

Wasn't building stuff out of boxes, the BEST ever?

Tonight, we helped the boys build their own houses out of boxes. It was so fun to watch them create! Each expressing their own unique style. 

Hello Carter!

Carter decided to create a pulley system using a swing hook that we have bolted into the ceiling, and string. So the way he'd get into his house, was by pulling up the box and crawling under. 

Oh hey Finney! Finn spent a lot of time decorating his front yard and his back yard. Later, he asked for special permission to eat his dinner in his house. Which was granted. I mean, how cute?!

Owen, who, though he didn't make a house, he loved "helping" everyone else. 

Colin. What a loved about his approach tonight, was that upon learning of our family activity, he ran straight upstairs to grab his "work overalls". I don't have a picture of him in his overalls but trust me, they are adorable. :-)

Everett told us that he didn't want his picture taken tonight.... which is always respected and why his special house isn't on the blog tonight :-)

S'mores!

For no good reason except that it sounded fun, we pulled the fire pit out of the garage and roasted s'mores in the driveway tonight.

We were right, it was fun!

And messy.

And yummy.

I think maybe we should do this every Tuesday night, really.

 Colin figured out a good set up, don't you think?

And then Owen snuck into the rest of the graham crackers, they went all over the driveway and we decided the party was probably over. The marshmallows were almost gone anyway :-)

Huge thanks to my friend Rachel who made us homemade marshmallows! I'd never had homemade ones before but holy smokes were they good.
