We have been given a fire place for our porch and Maddie and Sam are very intrigued. They spent a few hours on Saturday gathering little sticks out of the yard so Daddy could build a fire! We made a mad dash to the grocery to pick up all the ingredients for s'mores and Daddy built a ragging fire in 80-90 degree weather! Mommy and Daddy enjoyed the s'mores and Maddie said she didn't like fires because "it's too hot!" and of course didn't like the s'mores because of "chocolate" Poor little Sam was running a 103.5 degree temperature at this time (He has an ear infection :-( )so he didn't enjoy the experience at all! It reminded Troy and I of home and we have plans for lots more fires on the deck! (of course we agreed we should wait until the weather turns a little bit cooler!)

Reminds me of when we lived in Panama City for 5 years. On the coldest days of the bitter Winter we would build a fire in the fireplace and then open all the windows and doors so we could enjoy it. The only way you knew the season had changed was when people began wearing shortsleeves instead of tanktops. Living up north for seven years has been so different...that is, if you can call living in Atlanta "up north!"

You know, I think Maddie is missing a few things in her diet! Like salt and CHOCOLATE!!!
