Ice cream on a frigid day...

It's gray, unbelievably cold, and I'm REALLY cranky...my Monday is off to a super start!The highlight of our weekend was watching the girls 'attempt' to eat the 'Ice Cream Overdose' at Dr. Jazz, an old fashioned soda fountain in Lebanon, Il. Ok...to be honest, I helped them a little but we still couldn't manage it...didn't even come close. Heck of a lotta fun trying though! Here's the description of the ice cream monstrosity:
"Call the Doctor to order up 12 scoops - one of each flavor - with hot fudge, caramel and assorted nuts to keep you squirrelly. Whipped cream and a cherry to top it off - this is truly for the ice cream fanatic! Finish it yourself in 30 minutes or less and the Doctor picks up the tab!"

All eyes were on this thing as the waitress brought it out to us...I'm sure I turned MANY shades or red with embarrassment but hey, what else are you supposed to do on a cold February afternoon? Eat ice cream of course! And wouldn't you know it, I did happen to have my camera with me but the gosh darn battery was dead. Figures! Ahhh well...guess that means we'll have to do the whole thing again...think we'll bring Dad along though!

Hi Linnie, Thanks for the visit. That ice cream sounds delicious! Cute squirrel! :) I enjoyed my visit, especially the pics. You have beautiful kids. Your flower pics make me miss spring & summer even more now. I'm in northwest Indiana so we are having the same frigid weather. I like taking pics of flowers and the yard too. I think all your pics came out great but I hope you are able to get the camera you want. I'm very sorry to hear about the accident at the school. Terrible tragedy for all involved. :(
