The Conundrum

So, what do you do when Mommy and Daddy are very tired from a long week, and the kids, well . . . aren't?

You find something fun that requires very little energy . . . like making smores and paper airplanes! :o)

Yep, this was the ideal position of the day . . . :o)

And everybody knows that men like fire. :o)
And tickling is good, too!

"No, I won't smile for pictures, I won't, I won't . . . "

And paper airplanes are always fun! (Especially when they're designed by an engineer who can actually make them aerodynamic enough to fly!) (HINT: Googling "paper airplane designs" is pretty helpful, too!)

Preparing for take off . . .

The launch . . .

And retrieval . . .

Awww, thanks for the smile, Pumpkin!

And Mommy's job . . . (I happen to absolutely love Smores!)

Oooohh . . . marshmallows! On a STICK! :o)

Careful over the coals . . .

"Airplanes are actually better than Smores, Mommy, IMHO . . . "

NOPE! They don't hold a candle to properly prepared Smore! Mmmmm!

I specifically took this picture because fifteen years down the road when he's taller than me, I want to look back and remember that once upon a time, he was little.

Getting brave!

Yep, that's enough to make Mommy's heart jump in her throat! But oh how fun! :o)

Altogether a fun, low-stress evening. :o)
