Homemade Ice Cream YUM!!!

Caleb had went to his Grandma's and Dan went to bed

early so it was just Carter and me.

I got the typical, "mom I'm bored"..

So what's a mom to do?? Turn to google for bordom recipes of course!

I looked up the recipe for ziploc ice cream and as luck would have it we had all the ingredients!!

Here is the website and recipe we used

Squishing the mixture around in the ice. (I wrapped a towel around the bag of ice so it wasn't so cold to handle

Time for a taste test...

So good infact he had to wake his dad up and insist on Dad trying his first time every making ice cream at home!!! lol..
(In all honesty it was good!!!)

Carter's First DILLY BAR!!!

We stopped off at Dairy Queen (Again!) and Carter was asking

"What's that thing in the freezer"

Well when we told him a "Dilly Bar" he thought the name of it was

pretty darn funny (I had to agree)

So of course it had a funny name, it had chocolate and VANILLA ICE CREAM (his favorite) and a STICK!!! An ice cream sucker he called it...How could one NOT give this fantastic discovery a try!!!

As with anything else that child eats, it was a mess, but I do beleive fully enjoyed!!
Funny how you don't think of things until it is presented to you and then it's a "ah ha" moment...I had forgotton all about Dilly Bars and how I first had them with my Grandma until Carter asked about them!!
Memory triggers are what I like to call things like this!

You Scream...I Scream...We all scream..FOR ICE CREAM!!!

Yesterday evening was a lazy evening. After a little bit of "running around" in the afternoon, we were all just loafing around and I said "WHO WANTS ICE CREAM"?? Of course the boys both jumped up quicker then wind blows...So we went to the only place here in our little "town" that sells ice cream cones.

We sat on the pier watching the fishers and the lake and eating our ice cream.
The boys took their shoes off to dip their toes in the water. If you look at the picture of Carter and Caleb sitting on the pier you can see Carter trying to reach to get his toes wet!!

They so bad wanted to jump in and go swimming, but it wasn't "that" warm!! We've got many swimming days ahead of us!
