The kids wanted to start a fire in our outside fire pit, but it was really cold out. Not to be diverted the kids asked if I would build a fire in our fireplace. Of course I will! Within a few moments the kids were roasting marshmallows (and maybe hotdogs, but I'm not sure of that). They had a great time and I got a few moments rest while their attention was focused on the fire.It just goes to show what exhaustion will do to you. When the kids were younger I wouldn't have taken my eyes off of them while they were anywhere near a fire. Now, just the warning of "don't burn yourself" is sufficient. Well, they are older now and not as crazy as they used to be, and I did monitor them.
