And finally, the children and I built a fire pit!

It really is awesome!

For the purposes of my future self, I have edited any parts of the weekend that were not awesome: Zachary getting the schucks from too many grains, the bickering that occurred during the family folding party, and learning that the water spout on our fridge is hooked up to the hot water line.

But, despite all those difficulties, we watched “Rise of the Guardians” for Family Movie Night (Monkey bowed out of this one. She suspected too much emotional upheaval for her comfort level. I think she’ll like it, though. Hint, hint, Monkey!), and that was really good. And in general, we had another splendid weekend spending time with Buds. Cousins stopped by two different times, too, which is always a treat.

On to another week!
