Why I Love Weekends

I love weekends because I get to experience all of the fun moods (and not so fun moods) the kids go through throughout the day.  I feel like since I work full time I miss out on SO much, particularly with Jacob since he's still changing daily (and he melts down around 6:00).  At least with Riley I get an hour and a half to spend with her after Jacob goes to bed.  But here are some reasons why I love the weekends:

I Scream, You Scream

we all scream for ice cream!  So Marc and I got an ice cream maker for our wedding, I think the Goines' actually gave it to us, and it's been sitting in our guest room closet for the past oh 4+ years.  A few weekends ago when it was like 104 out I decided it would be a fun thing for Riley and I to do together, to make homemade ice cream.  So we fished it out of the guest room closet where it has been residing for WAY too long.  Of course I didn't realize how long it needed to be in the freezer before you could actually make ice cream so we never got to it that weekend but last weekend after our picnic I thought it would be a fun late afternoon activity for Riley and I while Daddy watched baseball.  So we mixed our ingredients and got it going!  It was actually quite tasty!

Hello ice cream making friend, it's been TOO long!
