| Summer evenings in our backyard |
Gotta love those perfect summer evenings - not too hot, not too buggy, and filled with simple entertainment (not to mention the perfect lighting for photos!)

| An ooey, gooey treat |
I know what you're thinking: what in the world is that? Well, it's a slice of ice cream cake, which, despite appearances of being partially melted, is actually pretty good. I am certainly not one to boast about my cooking skills, because, frankly, I don't have any. I don't cook (but I'm very thankful that Mark is a wonderful cook!). But I do like desserts, so occasionally when we get a new copy of Food & Family I'll feel inspired to attempt making a dessert.
You can check out a preview and sign up for the free magazine from Kraft here:
Food&Family
And just in case you're curious, here is the recipe for the cake, which was a big hit on Father's Day. Cole and Mark give it 2 thumbs up.
Prep time: 15 min
Total time: 4 hours 15 min (including freezing)
24 Oreos (or other) chocolate sandwich cookies
1 pt. strawberry ice cream, softened
1 pt. chocolate ice cream, softened
2 cups thawed Cool Whip Whipped Topping
2 Tbsp. chocolate fudge sauce (I used hot fudge, which explains the melting)
Line a 9-inch round cake pan with plastic wrap. Place 14 whole cookies around edge of pan. Crush remaining cookies; place crumbs on bottom of pan, reserving 1/2 cup. Spread strawberry ice cream over crumbs; top with 1 c of the whipped topping and remaining crumbs. Top with chocolate ice cream.
Freeze 4 hours or overnight. Remove from pan by lifting plastic wrap; carefully peel off plastic wrap. Let stand 10 min.
Top with remaining 1 cup of whipped topping and drizzle w/ chocolate sauce.
Makes 14 servings. |

| Scrambling through the Sprinkler |
Yesterday was a very busy day, with errands to run, a doctor's appointment, and lunch with Mark, so Cole and I didn't have the chance to go to the pool, which is our usual Thursday routine. But we made up for our lack of pool time with some scrambling through the sprinkler time last night.

| "Tlack, tlack, moo..." |
Cole greeted me at his bedroom door this morning with that phrase, "tlack, tlack, mooooo." Last night I read him "Click, Clack, Moo: Cows that Type" at bedtime and I guess the story stuck in his head! Too funny! It's one of my many favorite children's books, and also happens to be a Caldecott honor book...
Other than that, it's a fairly typical Monday here. I think that all I did yesterday was sleep! But we enjoyed a wonderful, sunny, not-TOO-hot time at the beach and now I'm going through the 1000 photos we took (just how many shots of Cole in the water DO I need?)
I took these photos of Cole and the shell on our last morning there. He was very inquisitive about all of the bugs and objects we discovered in the sand, but rather hesitant to touch them, as you might be able to tell from the look on his face in the 1st photo.
