Judith Rossell Books August 25, 2008
My children get lost in these books for hours on end. When they grow tired of them I put them up for a few months and pull them back out. They are always happy to see these book back on their personal library shelfs : ) Highly recommend these books to anyone with children who have an active imagination.
A tour of Coldstone Creamery August 24, 2008

We started our morning with a tour of our local Cold Stone Creamery. What a better way to spend our morning since today is National Waffle Day! The kids learned how Cold Stone Creamery makes their signature ice cream, cake, and of course waffle cones. What a sugar rush : )

Brrrr… Is it cold in there Sunshine?

Yes, Mommy it is chilly in here.

Lego Boy, do you see how to make Ice Cream- one of your favorite treats : )

Sunshine look- do you think you can make waffle cones at home?

Sunshine wants Chocolate Ice Cream with M&M’s

Lego Boy wanted “Plain” Chocolate Ice Cream with Kit Kats (his words)

Fairy Girl choose Chocolate Ice Cream with Reese Pieces

Mmmmmmm

Jelly Bean chose to be different (everyone else got chocolate) – Jelly Bean originally wanted “orange” but Cold Stone was out so she settled on Blueberry Muffin with Gummy Bears : )
Yummy

Is it good Sunshine? Mmmm Hmmmm
