Des conversing with Braveheart, with dad’s new midi controller

Eleanor runs up at daycare, excited to show dad the stick she found

Desmond’s first practice camping trip in the new downstairs jungle (complete with campfire-scented candle and forest/frog background noises). Time to set up the sleeping gear-

All ready

Of course sister has to join in the fun as well

Although she was really concerned when walking upstairs the frog noises stopped. “Where froggy go?” “I think maybe the froggies went to sleep, Ella” “OK”

To complete the experience, mom busts out a white elephant gift from a few years back- an indoor s’mores maker. While the equivalent of cooking over a warm lightbulb, mom eventually got some marshmallows softened.

Ella completely dismisses the notion of taking bites, consuming hers via meticulous picking/pinching

“It’ll be ready soon…” (lie)

Yum!

It may have been the sugar overload, but Des was astounded at the site of the moon in daylight

When you’re hyped on s’mores, apparently it’s time to practice yoga poses?

Less of a sticky disaster than you’d think

A heated game of “Go Fish” with the bag mom fashioned into a partition so Des could manage his cards in bit larger layout
