One of my favorite things about our house is we have real fire places! At first I was a little sad that we wouldn't be able to flip a switch and have a fire whenever we wanted, but I have to say I am such a real fire lover now! We have been very careful with the twinkies around the fire, but also don't want to not make fires until they are old enough to fully understand the dangers. So we decided to get them in on the process and watch closely while they are awake and around the fire. Since we do it so often they are really not phased by the "hot fifi" but they do LOVE to help! We have countless videos and pictures of the process and I just had to document this before they are too old to love small activities like this.
Step One: Hold hands and go get the wood outside....
Step Two: Hold out your hands and wait for daddy to give you a piece of wood...
Step Three: Carry wood back inside....
Step Four: Help Daddy arrange the wood....
Step Five: Light the wood (this pic is fake...E is not actually lighting the wood!)
Step Six: Stand no closer than the edge of the carpet and warm up your hands!
The best part is they will walk by the fire and watch it and hold their sweet little hands out like this...I can't even take the cuteness!
They are so cute!! That's the one thing our house doesn't have that I wish it did. A fire is so cozy of cold winter days/nights!
ReplyDeleteQuestion - Is that the West Elm Herringbone Rug? I was looking at it for our living room. Did you get the natural with ivory? What are your thoughts on it?
It is the West Elm rug in natural. I have a friend who has the grey and it is just as cute! It holds up well to high traffic and hides dirt or toys well:)
DeleteWhere did you get that neat firescreen? I'm going to be baby proofing in the near future :)
