My mom is still in the hospital, but she’s doing nicely – thank you for your kind thoughts – so, I was able to spend the last night of spring break with my kids. But, I was emotionally spent and way too tired to cook. So, when my kids asked my husband Garth (not his real name) if they could roast marshmallows, I told them that we were all out of marshmallows (stupid food shopping) but, suggested that perhaps they’d like to cook their hot dogs on the fire pit, instead.
[eyes go wide]
"For real?"
You see, 2 of my kids want to go camping…but, the other half don’t like bugs…and thanks to having given birth to all 4…my sciatica does’t do tents, very well…so, roughing-it seems a little too much work, if you ask me.
Still.
It warms my mommyblogging heart to get a chance to do something…anything…together and kicking back in our yard is perhaps the closest our family gets to, you know, going wild.
"Where’s Mini-me?"
[shrugs shoulders]
"She said she doesn’t like turkey dogs and is looking for something else to eat."
[SLAM]
"Okay, I found some meat-wike-wooking-thing in the fweezer…I think it’s eat-uh-bow!"
It’s seems like my youngest daughter (she’s 6) can fend for herself and doesn’t have a problem playing "survivor girl," thankyouvermuch!

They seem to be having a wonderful time. Loved camping when I was young. Still haven’t done it with mine.

That reminds me of when I was a little girl, I wanted to roast marshmallows, but we only had mini marshmallows. So I used toothpicks and a candle. It was a lot of fun. So is the survivorgirl instinct similar to my son finding random bits off the floor and in the seat cushions and having himself a snack?
