Delighted about dessert

A few weeks ago we made some chocolate pudding for dessert. We'd seen this post about making pudding in a plastic bag on Chasing Cheerios (a homeschooling/unschooling blog we enjoy from time to time) a while back, and we finally got around to trying it out. Kathleen enjoyed the "squishing" part of making the pudding in a plastic bag, but Madeline mostly enjoyed eating the pudding.

And then, just a few days later, we had to make a visit to the after-hours pediatrician's clinic. Our appointment was at 6pm, so the girls ate a very early (like 4:45!) dinner at home before we left. To reward the girls' good behavior at the appointment (especially Kathleen, who actually needed the appointment), we all stopped at Cold Stone Creamery on the way home. That made Mama and Daddy happy, of course, but the girls were ecstatic. (And they don't even know about mixing stuff into the ice cream!)

And for the record, Indiana seemed pretty excited about the ice cream, too. He just wouldn't settle down after that! Apparently everyone in this circus likes dessert!

We love ice cream in these parts! We usually indulge after Sophie goes to bed. The last few nights, we have included her in our night time ice cream eating. Now, we feel so guilty. She loves it!!! I feel so bad that she has missed out for so long!

Lots of yumminess! I agree with Kathleen that when sickness befalls a house, movies are a "splendid idea!" How do you get 2 photos to sit side by side, as with the girls eating their ice cream? It doesn't seem to work for me.
