Unseasonably warm...

As we were playing outside in the ridiculous warmth yesterday, we heard the ice cream truck off in the distance.  It was already 4:30, but the novelty factor of getting ice cream from the truck in mid March was too high to resist.  I gathered up the money and we ran back and forth between the backyard and front door waiting until it got closer at which point we waited curbside.

Paige picked chocolate and I ordered "swirl" for Rose.  Boy was Rose excited about this random happening.

The cones started dripping right away and they struggled to eat them.  We went through many a cloth.

At first Rose didn't want to eat the cone and was dipping her finger in to get out all the ice cream. Paige was offering to eat Rose's cone, at which point she backed herself into this corner and sat down trying to be alone.  Finally she gave her cone to Paige who finished it off.

When they were finished eating them we went back into the backyard to finish our yardwork (wiping down the table and chairs, raking, triming plants back, etc.).  Every so often Rose would hear the truck and yell "it's coming!!!" and jump up and down and run to the gate.

After the late day giant cones, Rose still ate all her dinner but Paige was pretty full.
