Making supper in the morning & eating ice cream before dinner

Wow! We had a really big day today but have no pictures to show for it. Coming off a girl-weekend with Grandma and Toot Toot, we headed out this morning to have a Cooking Day with Teresa and Robert. It was a lot of fun for everybody, and we're looking forward to trying it again. The kids had a ball while Teresa I and baked a lot of meals ahead, and divided them for the freezer. Hooray for that! After cooking our families sat down and shared lunch together. Thanks, Robert and Teresa, for a great day.

We got home just in time to play with Jessie and JP. They took us out to ice cream, where Fiona devoured a Blue Moon ice cream cone (what exactly is a blue moon supposed to taste like? We discussed this for quite some time...) and Nora ate a cotton candy-flavored cone. Don't tell her this, however. She ordered Bubblegum but never noticed the discrepancy.

After a delightful ice cream snack, we enjoyed an invigorating romp in the park. It was too lovely a day not to soak up some of the crisp, autumnal air with friends. We had an amazing time with you, JP and Jessie. Though I forgot the camera and wasn't able to snap a single picture to preserve the afternoon, we'll have a day to remember without it. Thank you for taking time to stop and pamper us!
