Last night when I was making dinner I let the boys go into the backyard to play with their friends. They were having so much fun! They were looking for bugs and other things to play with. They also notice that our backyard neighbor had a tepee type fire pit thing going on and they attempted to find all of the fallen tree limbs that they could to make their own (notice the girl in the background rolling a chopped tree trunk to put underneath the fire to get it started. They even went so far as to get the driest pine needles to put all over the tepee to get the fire started a little better. They attempted this three times at three different locations which I was laughing at until I later found out that Isaiah was trying to help too and each time he would place his log down it would be just a little too hard and the whole thing would fall down. The kids also scuffed around the dirt with their shoes so that the dust would fly so that I would think that it was smoke. Braxton at one point came in and asked me if he needed to let his nice friend go. I promptly told him that he wasn't going to be coming in the house. We have quite a few different types of lizards here. We find them climbing up the bricks of our house and running around in the yard. This is just the first one that we have caught. The boys are having a blast here and needless to say so are we!
