Smores and Fires and (Grumpy)Bears...Oh My!!

The boys were very wound up yesterday as we had promised to do a campfire and roast marshmallows and make smores. Max quickly lost interest in the marshmallows but had fun throwing sticks on the fire. Jarrett loved roasting marshmallows and making smores as he has done it before at my aunt's Christmas party and well, the boy loves chocolate.
No pictures or video since my camera refused to cooperate, which also caused a tiff. My darling husband woke up on the wrong side of the cave in the morning and didn't really improve his mood until later. He had somehow gotten the idea that I had gotten up earlier than I actually did and he wanted to know what I had been doing all that time (mostly since breakfast wasn't ready yet and as everyone knows, he likes to eat.) In reality we had let the boys stay up late and I got to sleep in for a change.
As for the camera, I've probably worn the thing out with all the picture taking and filming I do, so batteries don't last as long as I would like. The camera kept shutting itself off, which I found annoying and he evidently found my annoyance annoying. But it is frustrating when you want to get a picture or film the kids having so much fun and the camera just won't work. What I really need is a video camera.
Today was a very lazy day. We had breakfast, watched cartoons and the boys built a fort out of couch cushions and blankies. Mom and Pop took a nap, neither of them feels good. Of course, I've been fielding calls from those that know Pop is off work today , when people know he's home, suddenly their cars need to be worked on. We also filmed a Joey the Pirate Monkey episode called The Great Brain Freeze. Jarrett is impatiently waiting for the DVD to burn, he loves to watch his shows and when he goes on vacation with his dad, he can watch them all on the way there.
