I bought this little beauty a few weeks ago.

First attempt - Cake Batter Ice Cream




Second attempt - no pictures. I rushed the cooling process in hopes for making two batches so I could show off my wonderful ice cream making skills for Sunday dinner. It tasted fine but the texture wasn't right. No pictures.

Third attempt. Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream! Delish!!! Mike loved it and keeps asking if he can go get more from the freezer

Hmmm what to make next?

Recent conversations:

Mommy: Colin where are your listening ears?
Colin: hiding
Mommy: apparently
Colin: yup. a-berrily Mommy.

Before school the other morning I showed him two pairs of shorts.
Mommy: Colin do you want to wear these shorts or these shorts?
Colin: ummm ::pointing at his bathing suit:: bathing soup
Mommy: suit baby. it's bathing suit, not soup
Colin: noooo silly Mommy. bathing SOUP!

We took Colin to Big M (aka McDonalds) which is a rare and big deal for this 2 year old. He sits down to pray and says extremely loud: "GOD is GREAT. (quieter but still loud) Thank you for Daddy and Big M and Mommy :pause: car and french fries and man walking fast and Colin. Amen"

Mommy: Do you want to watch George or Mickey Mouse?
Colin: Mickey Mouse
Mommy: ok
Colin: I like Mickey Mouse. I LIKE Mickey Mouse! I like it, I like it. I liiiiiiiiiike it! I like Mickey Mouse!

Colin: Grandma's House? OK!
Mommy: well we aren't going to Grandma's house today
Colin: Colin go to Grandma's house and eat ice cream. ok!

Colin LOVES bubbles. They play them often at daycare and he always excited talks about him and Paityn or him and Jack will "POP! them with hands!" When he gets home, he often and frequently asks to play bubbles. So needless to say, we've been playing alot of bubbles in the backyard lately. He alternates from using this cute Monkey bubble blower to wanting us to use good ole fashion bubbles from a bottle. Here's a few pictures from the other night.

Colin's daycare had a Summer Kick-Off Carnival tonight. Each classroom had a few different carnival games and each kid was given tickets to use towards those games or food. Colin had a fantastic time and a few {literally only a few this time} pictures were taken.

For whatever reason it won't be upload two videos in the same post. I've tried like 3 times. Annoying! The video in the next post down was taken first. I love how he randomly said Mike needed "to get home and give Colin a kiss" but I wasn't sure if I'd use that video. So I asked him in this video what was going to happen when Daddy got home. There's some prodding in this video but he actually looked at the camera a few times which is why I liked this one and because he kinda explained who Mike was. Silly kid! Also check out his 'tude at the end of this video!
