Roasting Marshmallows

It was touch and go there for a few hours of if today's resolution would take place,or if it would be postponed until tomorrow.  Scarlett's belly was hurting a little and she was not the happiest of campers this evening.  I really thought that bedtime would occur before John even arrived home from work.  But good ole Scarlett pulled through and stuck it out.  (Such a trooper) She must have remembered that marshmallows were involved in today's resolution.  She actually just had her first marshmallow a few week's ago, which is what inspired this resolution in the jar. 

I was envisioning more of a family camp-out type of backdrop for this resolution, but the 10 minutes we hung out in front of the fireplace were fun too.  We'll reenact this resolution when we pull the camping card out of the jar!  We did have fun though. Scarlett enjoyed stabbing the marshmallows and holding them into the fire.  She wanted to blow on everything, but she wasn't keen on eating them.  I can't blame her, neither John nor myself really enjoy marshmallows.  Big puffed balls of sugar - not the best for an upset tummy.  We "roasted" (BLACKENED) a bag of large marshmallow together and laughed the entire time!





Tomorrow's Resolution:

 Set a timer for 5 minutes.  Everyone must workout for the entire time; take a water break, and then set the timer at least one more time.

We are a super active family, and we workout all the time, but not as a family together.  Bring on the NIKES!
