Random Updates

(I realize I am totally behind in blogging, so here are some random updates.)

No Doubt...

In case there was any doubt that Lily is our child, at not even 7 months she is already an icecream fan. One evening we were having our Family Home Evening treat (thus the small bowl since we will have more when the kids go to bed) and Lily crawled over to Chris and tried to get his icecream.

He gave in....

After all, who could resist this face?

My Life Lately...

Here is what I have been dealing with lately....5 Months of dust! Yuck! We left some of our bigger furniture in our house in one of the rooms. As you can see the dust was quite thick.

I am mad at myself that I didn't take more picture before we moved in when it looked clean! I wanted to post some pictures, but right now there are still boxes all around, and my house looks like a pig pen. I took these a few days before we moved in, but it was in the evening so the pictures look really dark. I promise I will post some better ones when my house is cleaner!

My Kind Of Food Storage

If you think this picture is unusual for our family you would be wrong. In our household we believe that the only purpose of a freezer is to house ice cream. Not just any ice cream but good ice cream. Dreyers ice cream or private selection. (Pay no attention to the Sunnyside brand, that was bought strictly for the kids since they don't care what kind of ice cream hits their palette).There really is no substitute. That is why I got very upset earlier in the month when I bought Dreyers ice cream. Over the years their ice cream containers have been slowly shrinking. So much so that if you are just a casual ice cream consumer and not an obsessive one like me you may not have even noticed. However I guarantee that you will now notice the shrinkage of the Dreyers container. Check it out.

Not only has the container size shrunk, but the cost has gone up. After they shrank the container yet again I decided I am totally boycotting Dreyers and will stick to my real number one favorite ice cream: Private Selection (see below). It is harder to get since I actually have to go to Foods Co. to get it, which I hate for multiple reasons. If you care about the shrinking size of the Dreyers containers and what to email them (http://www.dreyers.com/) not only will the "Head Icecream Man" (yes, he actually called himself that) email you back but he will also send you a coupon in the mail for a free icecream. It may be small, but hey it's free!

Yes, if you count them you will see that I bought 11 containers of ice cream during my most recent ice cream trip to Foods Co. The lady at the counter asked me if I was having an ice cream party. I actually told her the truth, "No, this is just for our family." She started laughing as if I was joking so I quickly replied, "Ummm. Yeah. Total ice cream party."
