HH had a hankering for a M&M concrete from our local ice cream place.

Guess who was sent to retrieve it for him?

Bart: Rough day.  Apu…Pump me a Squishee and don't spare the syrup.
Apu: Oh, perhaps you would like to try an experimental flavor of my own concoction. A delicious Chutney Squishee.
Bart: Oh... okay…

The HandsomeHusband and MonkeyBoy went to see the Green Lantern and I dropped DramaQueen and two of her friends off to see Super 8.  That left me and SD so what else could we do but get ice cream?  First, we stopped by my dad’s house to see if he wanted to come with us (I left my cell phone at home), but he wasn’t there.  I did have a feeling that we would end up seeing him anyway and I was right…as we were sitting at the outside picnic tables and eating our concoctions, he showed up.  I’m psychic! (or psycho)

We All Scream For Ice Cream (115/365)

 
"My advice to you is not to inquire why or whither, but just enjoy your ice cream while it's on your plate.  That's my philosophy."

StellaDella's first T-ball game was tonight at 7pm.  It was hee-lar-re-ous.  Since this is the first year for playing, the rules basically are: everyone bats, everyone plays the field, there are no outs and no score is kept.   The ENTIRE team is sent out on the field when they play defense.  The batter would hit the ball and the kids would all run together to chase it.  Since our uniform shirts were yellow, and most girls had black or gray shorts, our team resembled a swarm of bees buzzing around the field.   The girls were all so excited to be playing...big smiles were plastered on every face during the whole game.  It was fun to watch.  I took a lot of photos and so did HandsomeHusband.  Since I've already posted a SD T-ball picture this week, I opted to post this non-T-ball photo.  Plus, this place was the highlight of SD's night!

Before the game, we promised SD that we would go get ice cream afterwards.   This particular ice cream stand is open seasonally in our town and has been around for quite some time.  I remember walking here to get ice cream when I was SD's age.  SD had a soft-serve vanilla cone and was very happy.
