one of the reasons...

It's 9 pm on a Saturday...we are tired from the day...and from sleep overs the night before. Riggs...out of no where...asks if we can have a bonfire...which means can we have a fire in the fire pit. My mind says no...it's late and we don't have the stuff to make it special...no smore ingredients...not even big marshmallows...only little ones. We are not prepared...but before I can say let's do it another night when we have all the stuff....Jeremy says sure. So they gathered around while he broke up a board for wood and they set off into the dark to gather sticks from the yard.

 It was windy but he finally got it lit....and it as beautiful and warm....

 no smores...no marshmallows....jut a fire and some happy kids....

Just a gentle reminder that you don't always need the stuff.......they were happy with just the fire...watching it move and dance...and how the smoke shifted with the wind....that's one of the reasons I love Jeremy......he says yes just to the fire...and tonight that is all they needed.
