Today was a beautiful spring day and we had a bonfire in the garden for the first time this year. Sunnyboy helped build it and then had fun poking it with a stick.

What a fun bonfire. Looks like cutie Sunnyboy had a great time! I will have to check out the blogparty!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun bonfire. Welcome to the party.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by for the party and the regular old days too :)
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun spring party. You made some great memories for your Sunnyboy today!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a lot of fun! Spring is wonderful, isn't it! Can't wait to check out the blogparty!
ReplyDeleteI love to watch little kids have 'fire fun'. So many parents won't let their children have experiences like this because they are soooo safety conscience.
ReplyDeleteMy kids are still alive and kicking which is a miracle because they have tried everything! OK, that is not true, but I believe that as long as my husband and I think it can be safe, and we are watching them, they can be safe.
I love your raising style. Sunnyboy is a lucky child and you are a very wonderful mom.
Keep up the good work. AND Thanks for sharing!!!!

Oh, looks like soooooo much fun!
ReplyDeleteI'm totally craving roasted marshmallows now :)
It's suppose to snow another 10-15 cm tonight where I live :(
I am really ready for spring now after seeing the fun your family is having!
Have a great party!
I love bonfires, roasting marshmallows :) What great memories.
ReplyDeleteHappy blog party!
Thank you all for stopping by and your comments!
ReplyDeleteSharinskishe, yes 'fire fun' is so elemental to humans and a wonderful learning experience for young children (and older children and adults!). Sunnyboy has been going to bonfires since he was 11 days old and I'm very confident in his fire safety awareness now. I posted a video of a fantastic TEDTalk about dangerous things we should let our children do and, of course, playing with fire is included.

Thanks for stopping by my blog!
ReplyDeleteYour son is so cute, reminds me of having a littler one. (Mine is almost 8 now, and likes picnics and bonfires, still!) how the time flies!
I am interested in your blog and will try to come back and visit soon.
Lovely blog! Lovely fire! I LOVE LOVE LOVE backyard fires! They are so relaxing! Great party post! Gonna go poke around your site now! Thanks for stopping by mine earlier!
ReplyDeleteMy son loves to roast marshmallows. He could sit there for hours if I let him.

Visiting from the UBP...I love your header and blog title. Too often blogging moms (myself included) focus on the negative about their kids, even if it's in a humorous, "wow my life is crazy" way. It's fun to see such a positive spin! :)
ReplyDeleteHello! Surfing the other UBP sites. Your site is so sweet! Love the bonfirer pics
ReplyDeleteI know I am very late but I am doing some blog hopping from the UBP and saw your link on the list! I just wanted to wish you good luck in the prize drawing!
ReplyDeleteI'm late to the party as usual, but better late than never. I enjoy your blog and I'll be back when I have more time. I love your pictures especially the bonfire. They are always so much fun.
