You're fired

Lately Joe's been hacking away at the Forbidden Forest and it's produced TONS of dead branches (not to mention a fence behind it! You can see all the way to the edge of our yard now!) so we figured the best way to dispose of the scraps would be to burn them. We have a fireplace in our living room, but it's still a bit hot to be lighting toasty fires inside, and we've been wanting a fire pit for our patio so we picked one up on Friday! We enjoyed the fire sans toddlers on Friday with Elsha and my dad, then Joe and I lit it up again by ourselves Saturday evening for after-dinner s'mores.


Joe tried to escape the camera (see, adults don't like to be photographed!). Can't blame him too much, though, we were pretty grubby in our yard-work clothes.


Patrick enjoyed his s'mores in the raw.


He liked the fire pit box more than he liked the fire pit! Perhaps because the fire was HOT (he is very adamant and very serious about things that are HOT, and he will tell you about it)

Mmmmmm, toasty! Looking forward to more burning bushes to come :)

That's awesome! I love fire pits. Jonathan and I have wanted one for a while now. Can't wait to see your house this weekend and be one of your many visitors. I agree that Thornton is WAAAY more convenient than the Fort. Now if only we could move somewhere more convenient than Pueblo!!
