Summer Evening

We are trying to savor the fleeting moments of summer before the girls head back to school this week. Last night we had a "S'mores and Movie Night" in our tent in our backyard. Elijah caught a few minutes of "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" (the original movie with Gene Wilder, of course) before he had to hit the sack.

Isabella enjoyed her warm and gooey toasted marshmallows.

Sienna got ready to roast her marshmallows, too.

Elijah didn't waste any time with his s'more!

"What, do I have something on my face?"

Mike can't resist giving a thumbs up in every picture.

It's hard to believe that Isabella will be starting second grade the day after tomorrow and Sienna will head off to Kindergarten on Friday. What happened to my babies?!?!

Sticky, Sleepy, Smoky Saturday

Mike kept telling the girls that he would have a fire in the backyard so that they could roast marshmallows. Today was finally the day! He needed to burn some sticks anyways, so they made a little campfire out of it!

Sticky faces!

Two happy girls!!

Sienna took a break from the campfire to come inside and dress-up. Since she was Snow White, I pretended to be the witch disguised as the old lady. After eating my "poisoned" apple, she fell fast asleep!

Elijah (aka Prince Charming) tried to "bop" her awake to no avail!!!

Prince Charming

After her long slumber, Snow White set up a tea party for the two of us. Lemons were the food of choice!

Sienna headed back outside in time to roast hot dogs over the fire!!! What a treat!!! It looks like they're ready for another campout in the backyard!!!
