Gillian wanted Pez for dessert tonight. She had a brand new lamb Pez from her Easter basket. She couldn’t open and asked me for help “Why do they make it so hard to open?” I said “I don’t know.” Then she asked “Why do they put instructions on the back?” I said “I don’t know.… Continue reading Pez instructions
Today is National S’mores Day! We can’t let a day like that go by without celebrating! On a side note, Gillian has decided that she doesn’t like s’mores. I know. Pretty shocking. But lucky for me, cause I got to finish her s’more.
Last night at dinner, Gillian and John had ice cream for dessert. The waiter brought out these huge sundae glasses full of ice cream. John wasn’t able to finish his vanilla. But Gillian housed hers. And she didn’t miss a drop. Plus she didn’t make a mess!
We went over to Mr. Matt and Miss Brittany’s house for a barbecue this afternoon.

Tonight I gave the kids Klondike bars for dessert. This isn’t their first time eating them, but for some reason they asked for bowls and spoons. Gillian unwrapped her bar and put it in her bowl.

I made brownies this afternoon, simply so that we could have brownies a la mode for dessert tonight. I let the kids taste the batter. John gave me a thumbs up and Gillian insisted on a second taste.

I decided this summer I would finally use out ice cream maker that Daddy and I received as a wedding present (I know. We will be married 10 years in September. What was I waiting for?).
