In the summer, we try to grill outside as much as possible. It keeps the house cooler, I don't have to cook, and it makes it feel like a party. This year we moved our picnic table closer to the grill so we can hang out with Daddy while he cooks. Unfortunately, we have been inundated with mosquitoes this year, so we bought a lot of tiki torches and surrounded the grilling area. We call it the tiki room.
Two night ago Daddy was grilling and the kids were blowing bubbles in the tiki room. One of the kids went to chase a bubble outside of the tiki room. I reminded them that there were mosquitoes outside of the tikis. That's all it took. Someone yelled, "Quick, get back inside the circle of safety." Everyone was looking around and Daddy went into the shed and brought out a washer. He held it up to his eye and started looking around. Soon everyone wanted one, so they could see too. "Do you see any goblins?," someone asked. We continued with our Monday night grilling and looking for goblins.
For those of you shaking your heads, read The Spiderwick Chronicles by Tony DiTerilizzi. We really enjoyed the series and there's also a movie.
