A yummy day!

Today we received some fun books in the mail from Aunt Adrienne (Jesse's Mommy). This was our first time with books that you PLAY with - - i.e. race cars around the track.



Thanks so much Aunt Adrienne, so much fun.

And about 8(?) months ago Caleb's Mommy gave me a "recipe" for homemade ice pops and the procrastinator that I am decided today to make them with Matteo. Daddy was super impressed at how flavorful they were and Matteo enjoyed his as well. Thanks for the recipe Sarah!

A guilty secret, when the ice cream truck comes down the road, Matteo thinks that is the "music truck" and will say "Mommy here comes the music truck" as we have told him that that is what the truck does (technically NOT lying, as the truck does play music). I have never once purchased Matteo an ice cream from that over priced truck and hope to complete another summer on the same note. One time a friend did call our "ice cream" to which Matteo repeated and I said "where where" and that ended that. But think about it, for about $2.5 or $3 (the price of a single ice cream from that truck), I can probably buy 7 or 8 pops from the supermarket. AND, the truck comes down our road (kid you not) 3-4 times a day during the warmer months and about 3 times a week during the winter. No thanks, I can avoid those arguments with Matteo (and have successfully done so) with the "music truck". And really how pretty the truck does sound :-)

Chloe enjoyed some yogurt with banana and strawberry today :-) She is getting big, isn't she :-)
