I asked the boys to please pile these by the door.

We recently attended a birthday party. There are usually a lot of not very healthy foods associated with birthday parties. We were happy there was none of that here. The children enjoyed this beautiful and creative train cake made with organic fruits. All the children were so excited about it. For the adults there was a very simple box cake without frosting.
We have been doing a lot of grilling lately. The meat usually lasts us the week but when we grill italian sausage it never lasts for long. Gio has asked to have his plate filled with only italian sausage. They also love grilled corn on the cob.
When I was a girl, we would hear the bell from the skippy truck ringing and run to ask our parents for money to buy ice cream. Now-a-days skippy comes to the parks probably because children no longer play in groups on their street during the summer but are in day camps or some other form of childcare because most parents work. Hearing the bell ring at the park, I became nestalgic and thought the boys should have the skippy experience.
The boys are very excited.
Thr truck drove away and the trouble bagin:
"It's dripping..."

After our hike we went out for ice cream. A little help from a friend. She fed him most of his ice cream.
