Vacation Week Ice Cream for Dinner

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #01569

We stayed close to home for this April vacation and we didn’t really end up doing that much that was special. Allison took the kids rollerblading early in the week but besides that there was not much else happening. Tonight after jr. Krav we took the kids to a new ice cream place called Frisbie’s. They have something called a bubble cone which is a fancy looking waffle cone that is thicker than other waffle cones making it much more like an actual waffle. Allison and I each tried one of their creations in the bubble cone and they were quite tasty. I got and Oreo blast one with Cookie Monster ice cream because they were out of regular Oreo ice cream. I think that was a great substitute flavor to have. Allison had a strawberry themed bubble cone with raspberry cheesecake ice cream. That was also very good. the kids each got different ice creams in regular waffle cones. Everyone was pretty happy with their selections.

special sodas

Andy and I noticed these silly sodas and I decided that I’d get one of each so that we could do a taste test together. My favorite was the toxic slime and Andy’s was the Dog Drool. The soda is lightly carbonated and I think I would have liked it a bit more if there was a bit more carbonation to them but they were okay overall.

Sorting Transformers ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02424 Yesterday I drove Andy to school. Today I walked over with them. I did so not because I didn't think Andy would be safe on their own. Andy has been walking home from school for well over a year so walking to school is the same thing just in reverse. I wanted to see how long it actually took for the walk to go. I of course, over estimated how early we had to head over. The walk itself only takes a brisk 15 minutes. And that is at a modified teenager's shuffle. So Andy can leave the house around 6:25-6:30 and still get there by 6:45 when the doors open to the High School. Good to know. During the day I started one of the projects I've been meaning to start and have been putting off. I'm sorting through my Transformers and getting them ready to sell. I have talked with the guys at Double Midnight Comics about selling them my collection. Not the stuff I have on display and also I am picking out some figures that I want to keep as part of the collectio...

Time with Lexi ...

  Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02401 Today We watched my sister's dog, Lexi. My sister and her husband were coming back up here from their home and they had boarded the dog. They weren't sure if they'd be there in time to pick her up so we did that for them. We had Lexi for a couple of hours before they arrived and we had dinner together. Lexi was pretty chill for the most part until Torrun came in to the living room to investigate. At first they just looked at each other. Andy grabbed for LEXI's leash and then Lexi tried to go after Torrun. Torrun ended up bolting for the upstairs and we did not see her for hours. James knew enough not to even come down.

Time For Another Change ...

  Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02402 Andy decided to clean their room today. In so doing they decided that they no longer wish to hang on to their LEGO sets. So, I now have them all and I spent the afternoon disassembling many sets to fit into the one bucket. There were many Minecraft sets in there. What I'm going to do eventually is take what is in the bucket and separate it down to the individual sets that I still have instructions books for. The organizing of that is going to be daunting. I will try and figure out an efficient way to separate everything but I'm sure that will take some time. Andy also decided that they no longer want the piggy bank that was mine. That I am putting into a box for Andy for when they get older and maybe have kids of their own.
