Ice Cream For Dinner

Being the responsible parents that we are, we took the kids to the dairy farm not far from here. They have the most amazing chocolate milk on earth. I'm qute certain of that. We get it occassionally, our little grocery store in town carries it. And. We. Do. Not. Share. It. Not one drop of it. David had heard that they had ice cream there, at their little store, as well as a new flavor of milk. Root Beer. Interesting.

So when David got off work one day last week, which is usually about dinner time, we loaded them up and headed out. We got chocolate, strawberry and the latest root beer milk. The verdict is this; chocolate still as good as ever, and I'm still not sharing. The strawberry was absolutely wonderful and I may share. Sometimes. The Root Beer flavored was interesting. Might be good blended up with some ice cream. The kids can have it.

While we were there we each got a cup of ice cream (except Little Miss, we shared with her). Not surprisingly the ice cream was heavenly. You would think children who are eating ice cream for dinner would be happy as clams to do whatever it was their parents told them.

But. We still. Had to. Tell them.

To sit up. And eat. Their ice cream. It's dinnertime for heaven's sake!

Except for her. Up until that point she generally minded and did what we said. Up until that point.

Be spontaneous

This has got to be Reeds Dairy!? My sister-in-law lives pretty much across the street. They put potato flakes in their chocolate milk to make it so thick and good. And their strawberry ice cream is the best! Is this the same place? If not, you've got to try that one too! :)

Love the icecream for dinner thing, especially if that means no cooking for Mum that night! Anyway, that's what the kids will remember when they grow up, they need some fun stories to tell their own kids ;)
