Ice Cream

So I just got home from a very long ceremony at my children's school.  We were outside for over 2 hours and it was hot.  And I walked.  All I can say is thank goodness for an amazing baby stroller that made everything so much easier.  I had the two younger boys in their seats and Sweet Cheeks sitting on the foot rest.  It was perfect!  So after I put the two boys down for a nap, Sweet Cheeks and I decided to reward ourselves with ice cream. 

I love ice cream!  I love ice cream with nuts and chocolate even more.  Throw a little caramel in and I'm in heaven.  The only problem is that I want a bit of nuts, chocolate and caramel in every bite.  But that never happens.  So I'm one of those people.  You know those people that dig out the nuts and chocolate bits but leave the rest of the ice cream behind.  It always annoys me to no end when someone else does that.  But I just can't stop myself.  We need to send a petition to the ice cream companies demanding nuts and chocolate bits in every bite!  I might even stop digging around if that actually happened. 

I love serving ice cream to the younger kids because they don't realize that I've already eaten all the good bits out of their portion.  I'm sneaky!  I can't get away with it when it comes to the older kids though.  So I have to take advantage of it now while Sweet Cheeks, Tater Tot and O'Henry are still gullible.  I don't know what I'm going to do when my children are all old enough to realize what I'm doing. 

So, I have to apologize to you yet again.  So much has happened in the past 2 weeks that I've neglected you.  I went to San Francisco for 5 days and it was so much fun but I'll post more on that later. Than I had decided that I needed to make and freeze lots of meals because the summer heat was going to be too much for me to want to actually cook (we don't have air conditioning) so I decided to get all of the hard stuff (meat) out of the way.  I cooked over 250 meatballs, 2 batches of pulled pork, 3 batches of pork burrito meat, 9 batches of sloppy joes, 4 batches of BBQ beef, 3 batches of taco meat, 7 lbs. of chicken (cubed), a whole turkey (shredded), chocolate mint cookies and snickerdoodles.  The cookies are already gone.  Then I had to try to catch up on all the blogs that I follow which is way too time consuming.  Then I procrastinated a bit.  Oh and I read a lot of books.  And that was what I've been doing the past 2 weeks.
