We're in October and FINALLY, the weather has cooled to where it actually feels like FALL.
My girls love Fall, especially Kylie.  She loves the whole bulky sweater, boots and hot chocolate thing going...So Sunday night, when she came over, and the weather was cooler and nice, she wanted us to all go outside and make a campfire.  Del had left for about an hour to go assist in giving a blessing to a sick child, so that left Kylie, Kathryn and Mike home to make a fire.  Mike is not into the whole 'Fall ambiance' thing that Kylie is in to, so he began his professing of the weather being too cold for them to go outside, especially too cold for Preston to go out.
OHHHH...Kylie was going to have NONE of that.  She and Kathryn were outside in no time flat, determined that we were all going to be enjoying a cozy campfire if it killed us.  Kathryn re-built the fire pit that had been taken down weeks earlier due to the digging up of our backyard dirt and both she and Kylie gathered enough twigs, wood and paper to attempt the makings of a great fire.  I have a very strong feeling that Mike got either the dreadful evil eye from Kylie or a death threat that he either pitch in and get excited about the whole romantic evening or he was going to be paying the consequences for his un-enthusiastic attitude once they got home...cuz he came in the house asking for 'fire starter'...
The can of hairspray was Kathryn's brilliant idea and certainly camera worthy, so I became the photographer for what turned out to be a really fun evening around the campfire.  Del was home shortly after Kylie and Kathryn had just started the first tiny flames of hope, so within minutes, he had it into a raging fire.  And you can see by the pictures, that it ended up being a really great night.
