Well Friday was cold, really cold. The kids were a little bummed that we were not able to go to the park. I asked the kids what their favorite activity of the week was, and they all agreed… Making homemade ice cream was the winner. I decided that we should make one more batch, and use up our little bits of ingredients.

We worked up a recipe for Vanilla Ice Cream, and it was simple and delicious.

The kids had to try it before it went into the freezer.

We had the ice cream for dessert, and it was extra tasty on top of chocolate cake.

I also got a super cool surprise. James took me yarn shopping in the afternoon. I got a few pretty colors to start an afghan for Agnes.

I’m set for the weekend. Two more days before the kiddos are back to school, and I think that they all actually want to go. The boys miss their friends, and Agnes misses her quiet times. The house will be extra quiet next week, but it has been a lot of fun having all of my kids home and running around the house.
