Great Grandpa Houston

We visited the girls great grandpa today in Washington. We live so far away and don't get to visit much, so it was a nice visit.

Ziploc Ice Cream

Tonight for a fun family activity we made our first batches of Ziploc ice cream. All you need is-

• 1 Gallon Ziploc with ice and 6 tbs salt (we use kosher salt)

• In a quart sized Ziploc add 1/2 cup milk (we used whole milk), 1/2 tsp vanilla, 1 tbs sugar.

• Now SHAKE! It takes about 5 minutes on daddy shake time to whip up 1/2 cup of ice cream.

Notes- we added some hershey syrup to our second batch. 

I also read that doubling the batch doesn't work well...

 

Have fun and share your favorite flavors.

Hair Emergency Resolved

At the zoo today, its nearing 100*f, and I forgot a ponytail holder for Jane.

Luckily I brought Ritz with a twistie on them. Twistie into hair tie. Viola!

Two Birds, One Stone

Bowling

Our girls went bowling for the first time tonight. Now, there were bumpers in the lane, and much assistance was needed to roll the ball, but still- Jane got a 78 and Lucy got 65. Scott and I both did well, although the bumpers helped him out a bit. ;)

Yelled from the potty...

Jane: "Mommy, my poops looks like a crocodile! Isn't that silly?!"

Three-year-olds are the best!

Valentine's Love, Headbands and Pancakes

Made these headbands for our little ladies to wear on V-Day.

Had chocolate chip heart-shaped pancakes for breakfast.

And daddy got an awesome Valentine delivery with this sweet little picture inside.
