Smores

At some point this weekend my husband promised the kids that we would roast marshmallows around the fire pit and make smores. Our every move this weekend involved the talk of making smores. My daughter was completely obsessed with the idea and would not leave us alone about it until the ingredients were purchased and the marshmallows were over the fire. Finally this evening, after we had eaten dinner, my husband sent the kids out to find as many twigs for the fire that they could find. My daughter came back with five little sticks that I am sure she thought could build a roaring fire. We all ended on a hunt for sticks and then my husband decided that we had enough wood to build a proper fire. We roasted the marshmallows on palmetto sticks and then we indulged in gooey, yummy smores. It turned out to be a wonderfully fun evening sitting around the fire with the kids taking turns telling ghost stories.
