1 slightly motivated mother
2 eager children
1 small tank of gas
Wet wood of various sizes
One page from Steve's Cooperator paper...shhhhh!
2 matches
Marshmallows
One Fancy Fiskars Ax (In fact, we call it the Jesus Ax. Because if Jesus had an ax, it would be this one).
Weenie Sticks
Lawn Chairs.
Pile small sticks in the center of fire pit over top of the crumbled up piece of cooperator. Light the paper. Begin chopping wood with the Fiskars ax. Place larger wood on the small sticks. Upon realizing that the wood is a bit wet, tell the 2 children to step away. Pour small amount of fuel on the fire. Smile and look smart as the kids ooohhh and awwww over your instant, massive fire. Brag about Moms being JUST as awesome as Dads when it comes to making fires. Provide children with weenie sticks and marshmallows. Declare a contest to see who can make the best marshmallows. Declare yourself as judge of said contest. Sit on chair. Eat brown, white and blacker than black Jet-Puffed offerings. Sigh. Shed a tear that the Summer is over. For an added twist, add one dog named Charlie.
