More adventures in babysitting

Today Claire's mom was feeling a little under the weather, so I brought her to my house to have some fun. I gave KC a Play and Freeze ice cream ball for his birthday, so in light of today's fluffy snow fall, we decided to put it to use.


We filled the ball with ice...


and rock salt.

Then we filled with coconut ice cream ingredients.

We rolled it...

and sat on it.

And then Claire got bored so she took a break with the Rubiks cube...

But came right back to play some more.

Soon it was ready,

and we ate it up (but only a little bit since it was right before dinner)

And to distract the little one from wanting more we read some stories (KC was home to take pictures for us).

Another fun day in the lives of Claire and Emily.

We thoroughly enjoyed our coconut ice cream and our time together, as always.

Rhe ice cream ball works great! We loved it here too--thanks. That is a game that is fun and yummy to play. I am definately trying the coconut flavor next time. We just did boring vanilla!

Hey . . . we plan on doing that VERY THING today. Jeffy specifically requested it for his sick day. He said it's much better than waiting for ice cream, because you get to play with it while you wait. Awesome.

Woa. I've never heard of such a contraption! It seems magical.

I hope Claires mom sees things like this. Very cool.
