Fire and Boys

For some reason fire and boys go hand in hand.  I cannot count the times I have found piles of crispy matches in places that they should not be.  The fact that our house is still standing amazes me. A few weeks ago most of the kids were spending the night elsewhere, except for Annika, Max, and Nickles.  Shannon was gone too so we built a campfire.  Nickles was in seventh heaven.
"Mom, we are having waaaaay more fun than everyone else, aren't we?"
Yes, we were.  We even threw matches in the fire and watched them ignite because Momma loves fire a little too.

I simply cannot keep Nickles away ~

Max was even drawn toward the flames. 

Annika was ready to head to the house when it began getting dark. 

But not this kid.

He was there til the last ember was fading.

We had the most fun, Nickles!
