Living Room Campout

Well, it wasn't much of a campout ... but we did roast marshmallows! This was actually our first fire in the fireplace this season, and DEFINITELY the first in 2008. (By the way - Happy New Year everyone!) And, it may not be a frequent happening in our house this winter. Tyler ignored about every warning we gave him to "stand on the carpet not the tile" and "don't touch the glass" ... he BRIEFLY touched the hot glass door with his finger (trying to show Dennis the "ittle hole" in the wood). And, roasting marshmallows was quite a messy event. One time, Tyler smacked his mallow right into the log, so we gave him a "backup" (according to Abby). They sure did have fun though ... guess we'll remember stuff like this more than we'll recall having the Christmas decorations put away and the house cleaned up (neither has happened yet!)
