We're running out of summer days, but this evening was perfect to spend around the fire pit. We had hot dogs, katydids, and roasted marshmallow perfection. They were seriously the best marshmallows I've had in forever. Crispy and gooey and we didn't bother with s'mores. Just marshmallow goodness. I'm looking forward to more of this in the fall.

Let's all pray that fall lasts a while this year.

This one is actually from last Saturday. We went to the St. Paul Irish Fair and had a great time. The kids got Irish Balloon animals. What makes them Irish? I don't know... um... Maggie chose a green snake and St. Patrick drove all the snakes out of Ireland.

We've also decided that the girls need to start taking Irish Dance lessons. Anyone out there want to sponsor them?? Please??!

Bee-isms

We got a big bag of Kettle Cooked Popcorn from Trader Joe's yesterday and I've been trying to make myself share some of it with the kids. So we took it to the park to snack on while we did a little school work. The kids are all very interested in the super sugary pieces and dig through the bag to find the best ones. Beatrice pulled out a little unpopped portion and said:

HEY! Look at this sugary corn-el.

Not a kernel of popcorn. A corn-el. LOL!
