Papa Would Be Proud

Blanden and I went swimming with our friends Susan and Sarah at their neighborhood pool again today. What fun! Especially in another 90-plus-degree day. When we got home, I was craving an ice cream cone, which seemed the perfect snack to complete our adventurous afternoon. So I sawed off the top of a sugar cone to make Blanden his own mini. ;) The first one was far too heavy (I must have been channeling Papa, telling me to pile it on) and promptly fell to the floor, so Ella enjoyed an ice cream cone too. But the second one was just right -- and a big hit!


Except that we should have had the ice cream before we went to the pool, as Blanden managed to get cream, cookie chunks, and melted chocolate chips down inside his shirt. (And then Daddy arrived home early from work and caught us in the act! Ah, well. Every now and then, we have to take a break from our usual healthy fare.)

Blanden,

Your momma is a smart one! Even PaPa with his "love" of ice cream and wanting to share it so badly with you, wouldn't have thought to "saw down an ice cream cone". I hope dad wasn't way mad at the two of you, what flavor of treat were you having? Perhaps dad will make you another batch of his homemade ice cream, so that when tempation comes along again, maybe he'll even want a cone too!
Tell you folks when they have a minute, grammy either needs another lesson in transferring pictures from your blog to kodak easy share, or could they transfer the last two in this posting, they are just way to cute for me not to want one!
What adventures will you be up to today?
