Trying to make a memory dang it!!!

So, I was trying to be the good mom and I bought all the fixins to make smores thinking we would all stand around the chimminhea, sing campfire songs, hold hands and giggle. Right, that worked out well. The kids did ok for about .5 seconds. Jackson didn't even want to eat his marshmallow, Maddox just wanted the bag of marshmallows to eat out of, Danno hates smores and wouldn't even act like he was interested, and Miss Ava wanted to poke her brothers with the skewers because she thought it was funny after eating 4 Hershey bars. Her tiny face smeared in rings of chocolate and hands a sticky mess that attracted every bug in our backyard. I am trying to make a memory here family, please humor me in participating!! I did enjoy two of them after Jackson went in the house to play Wii, Maddox begged to open bubbles, Dan played with his phone and sis continued to drag her chocolated coated hands through the clean hair that I had just washed. So I guess that the memory is... no one really likes smores but mama :( But, never fails, I will try to make this same memory again, when its a little cooler.

Nice try. I'll come eat s'mores with you and hold hands and we can sing and giggle. Our husbands can go play with their phones, the big boys can play Wii, our middle lovebirds can go hide in M's room and our babies can sit and beg food off us. See, it was meant to be!

That is just too funny Serena. But I know how you feel. I always have this perfect little picture in my mind how everything will go and no one or nothing else seems to cooperate. Try again in the fall. I will eat smores with you too.
