Ice Cream and Bats

This morning we went to playgroup. The plan for playgroup was to make homemade ice cream with the kids. I wasn’t sure how it would turn out, but it was actually pretty good. It was very easy too. Basically, in a small bag you add milk, sugar, and vanilla. You put that bag in a larger bag with ice and rock salt and shake for 5 minutes. If you want more details go here.

After playgroup we came home and ate lunch.

Then, I put the boys down for naps. Noah napped, but Evan didn’t.

Alissa came over around 6. We made signs for the garage sale. I’m helping her sell the rest of her stuff tomorrow. We got rained on a few weeks ago.

After Alissa left Morry and I were trying to decide where to go for dinner. A lot of times we make the decision based on what coupons we had. I had a printable TGI Fridays Coupon for buy one get one free entrée. We decided to go to the Fridays downtown on the lake.

When we got there it wasn’t very crowded and we were able to sit outside. The patio overlooks the lake and the Congress Bridge (where the bats are). After dinner it was just about time for the bats to come out. We sat at our table and had a great view of the bats. It worked out very well and we were able to use our coupon.

We just put the boys to bed. I hope they sleep well tonight. I have to get up very early in the morning to be at Alissa’s at 5:30am.

Here’s a video of ice cream making at playgroup today.
