For example, I added banana, chocolate, and strawberry ice-cream with Reeses Cups and caramel toppings.
Lulu added red velvet cake with cake batter ice-cream with a coconut topping.
Bro selected vanilla ice-cream and added gummi bears and m&m toppings.
Bri tasted her first ice-cream...
... and I think she liked it!
After we finished the ice-cream that we purchased, we went around and sampled the rest of the flavors. Yes, we did! No, they don't mind.
Then, we went to Target to grab some tennis shoes for Em. She spotted this pair of shoes and said, "OH MAWM... aren't these ADORABLE???"
Looking at my baby in these big girl shoes was more than this mom could handle. She is growing up... and is dragging me along for the ride... kicking and screaming for the ride to s-t-o-p. I know you all can feel my pain. Can't you?
On Saturday I enjoyed my first Girl's Night Out since the great cookie swap of 2010, and I made this strawberry trifle to share.
The get together was for a bunco night with some ladies I knew from high school... and other friends whom I had never met before. A good time was had by all... to say the least. I will not post the details of the night, even though I was threatening to start taking notes for reference because the conversations were just so juicy. I did come home with $30 I won by getting the most buncos. However, the hostess (and my dear friend) tried to tell me that I was technically NOT eligible for the prize because I did not grab the pink dice and run around the house like a maniac each time I got a bunco, which is apparently part of the official rules. My bad! Next time I am going to bring a load speaker with me... like a siren or something... to sound off when I get bunco. {{hee hee hee}} On Sunday, I stayed home with the babies while Dear Husband took Lulu to cheer practice. I have said this before and I will say it a million times again... I am an only child and so the world of siblings is very new to me... one of my greatest pleasure in life is seeing how well the kiddos play together and interact with each other.
In this picture, Bro is lying down to read a book to Bri...
... and here he is playing tickle with her.
You cannot imagine how refreshing my weekend was. I feel like Super Woman.
How are you feeling on this Monday afternoon?

You are reminding me of how much I miss Coldstone.. They opened up and I just got used to their fantastic ice cream in time for them to close and go away! I don't think I would have chosen any of the flavors you folks had though...
We will have to treat you to Menchis when you come to visit. You'll like it. They have some regular flavors too. I like that I can make my own so I can make it just the way I want it. :-)
Where does the time go to. As I saw the picture with lulu in the pumps all I could think about was the first time I got to hold her when you came back from the hospital and I look at her now and she is growing up so quickly, tear. And you have to stop putting pictures of food on your blog, it makes me so hungry and then I go to the chow hall and i look at the food and it just doesn't look as pretty or as appetizing as yours ;) lol. YOu have to show me this ice cream place when i get back!
