Fire And A Lesson In Etiquette, Man Etiquette That Is

This weekend we had our first fire and roast of the year.  We have spent countless hours in our little backyard enjoying a cozy fire with hot dogs and smores.  It has led us to some of our greatest conversations.  There are times, however, that our roasts aren't quite as refined and elevated.  This weekend's roast had my children rolling around in the dirt laughing so hard that they couldn't breath.  What were they laughing at?  Belching, of course.  Who can belch the loudest, who can belch the longest, and all sorts of different ways to make yourself belch.  I really try to teach my kids to be polite and act properly at a meal.  However, living in a house full of boys I sometimes have to step back and let the testosterone flow.  And I'd rather have that happen at our roasts than at our nice dinner with the missionaries (which has happened too!) So, I hope your weekend was filled with sunshine, family, fun, and maybe a little belching! 

Quick tip:  We use chocolate frosting on our smores instead of chocolate bars.  It's less messy!  Also, try using fudge dipped cookies instead of graham crackers.
