Super Great Parenting!

I have a personal parenting rule that goes: never say no to the ice cream truck and always be ready for it with a few bucks by the door!!!  It doesn't come by that often, and it's one of the most amazing things that can happen in Kid Land.  It can really make or destroy a kid's day, so I say, MAKE IT!!! Even if they have to flee the table and their current dessert of oreos to catch it ;)











While we were outside having pops, our neighbor pulled into her driveway and Mimi shouts, "Well look who just stepped off the ol' Mayflower!".  WHAT??? I don't know, but it was hilarious.


Also: here are some pictures of the much anticipated but very short-lived backyard camp-out.  M&M lasted about 5 minutes after the sun went down (even with Pa in the tent with them!), but they spent the whole afternoon getting ready for it!
