But I can clearly see that marshmallows and sticks/skewers are quite the thing! Put to good use all those thousands of skewers we have. A wonderful picture!

I'm sorry someone didn't get it as the joke it was. Maybe they didn't have kids the right age, because I find it quite snicker-worthy. LOL! I’m sorry someone didn’t get it as the joke it was.

She and Carbon seem very much alike in some respects, at the very least in their verbal expressiveness. The other day at church he had his action figure put Sylvia's Ariel doll in a "dungeon" (the play mailbox), and when Sylvia was going to send in a rescue mission he said not to because his guy was going to realize that what he was doing was wrong and let her out. I thought that was so funny and charming. I am completely over the moon that Sylvia is friends with both your kids.
