Fire Pops

A couple Saturdays ago we visited with Dad and Mom's friends John and Kelly and their kids. You really like playing with their daughter and you both had a lot of fun together. After dinner Daddy and John made a small bonfire and you all had smores. This was the first time you had smores and you absolutely loved them! You also loved watching the fire (not a surprise since you are so into fires and fire engines these days). A couple days after our visit you started playing "fire pops" in your room.

You spread a blanket out of the floor (this is the ground for the fire). You lay out your big magnetics sticks (these are the sticks to make the fire).


You get your fire extinguisher and get the fire started with that.


You then get some pretend sticks, marsh mellows, chocolate and crackers.


You then will pull up your little rocking chair, give Daddy, Mommy and yourself a stick with a marsh mellow on it and we roast them!


Then after they are done (which you have to inform us when they are done) you put the smores together. Every night that changes, sometimes you have to add some salt and pepper, sometimes you add a special sauce and sometimes you add an extra piece of candy. We then eat the pretend smores (which are VERY tasty) and then you get us all some milk and napkins. Sometimes we have two or three smores and sometimes you want to ten! You love doing this and it has become part of our bedtime routine for the past few days. You have such a wonderful imagination and I just love to watch you play! Oh and the name "fire pops" came from the noise the fire makes... the popping noise!
