Free Ice Cream for a Year!!!

There is a new ice cream/sandwich shop in town.  For those of you that are local you need to check out Skipper's Dips and Deli in Charles Town on Washington Street.  Monday night they had their grand opening.  We had been there several times before and it is delicious.  We headed down for the ice cream, fun and festivities.  When we got there they were starting a "Cow Pie Eating Contest".  Jacob wanted to enter.  The "cow pie" was and Oreo cookie with a scoop of chocolate ice cream and whipped cream.  The kids had to eat it without their hands.  

I am ready!!

YUM!!

This is good.

I am finished.

And Jacob won!!  The prize was a free scoop of ice cream once a week for a year.  He was VERY excited.  Several of his friends were there to watch.  Apparently he was the talk of the school Tuesday morning.  Everyone knew he was the kid who won a year worth of ice cream.  I told him that I would be happy to eat his free ice cream if he does not want it but that probably will not happen.  So, we now refer to him as "cow pie" boy and he likes it.

Lunch Buddies

Things around our house are a little bit quieter these days.  I will get to the back to school posts eventually.  But, Jacob and Emma are gone at school all day.  Seth goes to preschool 4 mornings a weeks.  Lucy and I get some one on one time in the morning.  It is fun.  Lucy and I go pick up Seth and come home and eat lunch.  Below is a picture of what lunch at our house is like.  Just the two little ones.  It is an adjustment but we are having fun.  We have fun playing games, coloring, doing play-doh and making cookies.
