Good Times

That's my sissy and her fiance Justin.  I won't call him a sissy.  He's a manly man.  Works out doors.  Hardcore.  We like him.  I'm all about hardcore.  I gave birth naturally, if you remember.  

I love bringing that up.

Carlie likes to make time for family.  I like family time, but I'm a slacker when it comes to planning.  She is good like that.  And she will come to us- bonus!  I'll gladly cook if they do the traveling.  So we had dinner and some chillin time around the little fire pit.  It was lovely.  

 

Even Ginnie decided to sit still for 8 seconds.  A record for her. 

We roasted and chilled.  I like that combo if there has to be any chilling happening.  I'm not a cool weather type of person.  Gooey marshmallow yumminess takes the edge off.

Look at Justin.  He is shielding his goo covered face.  I'm sure it was goo covered.  I don't have a picture to prove it, because I was trying to un-stick my hands from my own goo covered face, but I'm sure it was a mess.  Sure of it.

We are trying to raise up the kids to think roasting is fun and they will want to make us perfectly-light brown-but-completely-gooey inside mallows.  

Ginnie is on to us.  Not a fan of the roast.  

She is more of an immediate gratification kid of girl anyway.  She will grab a handful of cold marshmallows and run to the swings.

George has a little more patience.  

He likes his mallow medium rare, just toasted, but still cold on the inside.

Liv is learning the art.  

She was in a cowgirl mood too.  

How did I just notice this?  

Where was my brain that night.

I do remember George with his hat.  And I can't forget Ginnie's toboggan.  

Carlie kept calling her Bebe's kid.  

Well, if you know where we live......

But the best part of the night was introducing a couple of amateurs to gourmet s'mores.  

We are just trying to spice up their soon-to-be wedded life.  

Hello S'MOREOS!  

Peanut butter s'moreos to be exact.  Justin is addicted to pb.  At least it is a cheap addiction. 

Don't judge.

Yes, I'm sure you figured it out already.  It is a pb oreo with a toasted mallow inside.  

Some kids in our church's youth group, years ago, did this and I wasn't super impressed 

(except for the name- genius, yet understated).

UNTIL I had one with the pb Oreo.  

Oh my heaven.

That special kind of chocolate cookie that is only from Oreo.

A perfectly toasted marshmallow.

The pb cream.

Sandwiched in another classic cookie.

I kept admiring it.  Like it was art.

It was yummy art.
