Let me start off by saying Happy Monday to you all. Not that I am having a good Monday particularly, but my wish is for you to have a good Monday. Anywho.
Our weekend was pretty busy. We spent a quick minute or two at the College’s Halloween Carnival. Daven was SO CUTE! I will be showing off those pictures tomorrow for the official HAPPY HALLOWEEN post. (insert evil Halloween laugh here)
Friday night we ended up running out to get a few rentals so we could spend the evening together. The movie was okay at best, but the night was fantastic. We built our first official fire of the season. It wasn’t all that cold outside, but Logan thought it would add to the ambiance of the evening. It did! The best part about the fire, however, was Daven’s reaction to it.
He LOVED that fire. He crawled up to the fireplace as close we would allow and just wanted to sit and watch. His eyes were glued to that fireplace. He was fascinated by every part of it. When he would hear the wood pop and crack, he would jump slightly and then turn to look at us with a huge smile on his face. It was so precious just watching him watch the fire.

I do however see the negative in all this. I highly anticipate fighting to keep him OUT of the fireplace all winter long. We have an extra gate over the fireplace, but I know how sneaky he can be…we will have to keep our eyes pealed for those little fingers trying to reach for the fire. Scary to even think about!

You are so cute Daven. As for the fire, well... Finally, the season has arrived for the great nights by the fireplace!!
Wonderful photos!
Erik's main warning is "HOT!" We are experts at keeping him from gas stoves and ovens now.
More later...I just got home. I love you.

Brady LOVED the fire when we went camping... I don't remember Michael being as enthralled. I wonder if it's a WS thing? Your house must have been sooo cozy!!!
You are totally in the spirit!
Love -K
Maybe it is a WS thing...Lyle loves fires too- in fireplaces, bonfires, etc. He loves the cozy feeling. When he was about 3 he used to love sitting by the fire watching Lawrence Welk on Saturday nights! (His taste in music has since changed).
He used to scare me a little, like he was going to be a pyro- but he is very careful and approriate now.
Daven has such a sweet face! I love seeing what he's up to.
I love the pictures it looks so cozy and Daven is lovein it!!!
You all and Christmas:)
Wow! Get the Christmas tree out! Those pictures are so cute! I can totally see him turning around to see if everyone is watching too. AHH! I miss that little booger so much. We had such a great time with him! Thanks for letting him stay a couple of days! A precious gift within himself. LOVE YOU!
He is so cute!! Can't wait to see the Halloween pictures!
Whoahhhh!!!! Wonderful pictures!!! I love his face while watching fire :))))))))
Waiting fot the halloween-pics!
Love, Kati
Totally totally cute. I have a "fake" gas fireplace with a tempered glass front, and Av likes to put her lips on it...since I have taught her, No! HOT!, and she just turns ever so slyly with a huge smile on her face. It makes disciplining really, really hard when she looks so sweet. I just love that Daven CRAWLED to the fireplace, What a great kid, I love you guys!

Oh my goodness, those pictures are absolutely adorable! That just melted my heart today. Better than TV, huh?
