Cupid Float...yumm!

Have you ever had a

cupid float?

oh my!

 I was introduced to them by my cousin and they are so addictive!

It is so easy peasy to make them!

You get out a pretty glass and add a few scoops of vanilla ice cream.

Then you pour in some Cherry 7-up and top it with whipped cream and a cherry.

I told you ...easy...no calories either!!! NONE whatsoever...haha!


{disclaimer: they just might have a few of those nasty calories hanging around, but they are so worth it}

**************************************

We are still in the throws of winter here in Michigan. We have had some nasty weather lately.

Last week we went to town to get a few groceries and the weather was okay on the way there.
An hour or less later a snow squall burst upon the scene and it was a mess. There were
white-outs and it was scary driving. We had just got outside of town and headed home and came
upon an accident and then not much farther down the road there was another car in the ditch.

When those white-outs hit you can't see one thing in front of you. I can now understand the accidents
where several cars are involved. As fast as this blew up, there is absolutely nothing you can do
 except PRAY that you make it through.

I am sooooooooo ready for Spring...is it just around the corner?? I hope so!!


Blessings~

National Ice Cream Day!

In honor of

National Ice Cream Day 

{which was yesterday}

I give you:

PEANUT BUTTER CUP ICE CREAM.

YUMMY!

A local brand called Homestead.

We are hooked!

If you missed all the hoopla yesterday,  you have my permission to go out
and celebrate today. *SMILE*

{ I added the little chocolate and peanut butter candies}

The book that started it all and the SURPRISE!

This is the book that started it all. When I saw this in the store, I came home and ordered one online
 {much cheaper that way} and the planning began.

Just a little heads up...these photos are all out of order. Blogger has been giving me fits
so it is what it is today.

After all the festivities grandpa made cotton candy and my youngest son made snow cones.
Like I said in an earlier post we sure sugared up the kids!! :)

At the end of the party we let the guys join us too!! Maybe they could have been elves ? lol

Did I tell you our neighbors stopped by the night before and asked us if we needed more tents?
They thought we were having a wedding! :)

Remember in an earlier post I told you we had a huge surprise right as the fairy party ended?? I
think some fairy flitting about must have told the ice cream man that there was a party on this road.

We could NOT believe it when we were sitting around outside, heard music and here comes
 the ice cream truck!! You have to understand we live in the boonies and we haven't seen one
 in years. It was such a perfect end to a fairy party and grandpa paid so that was even
 better. *smile*

Ainsley sure enjoyed her ice cream. We took her outfit off a little too late, but I
went in the house and ran it under water and thankfully it came right out in a jiffy.

Not the best photo with all the sun and shadows, but Keira loves her jewels. :)

Did I show this photo before? Oh my...I am thinking that I did. I am losing track of what I posed and what
I didn't. lol. 

The night BEFORE the party after I had it all set up and had to take it down because of an impending
storm.

If I knew how to edit myself out I would have , but I don't possess those skills. ha! I look like
I have been drug through a knothole backwards, but I did want you to see all the others. It
was hard work running around after all those fairies trying to get phots. At one point I told my
daughter-in-law that I couldn't keep up and she said, "I know we need wings too"...:)

FUN, FUN day that ended all too soon, but wonderful memories were made!!
{Check out my previous three posts if you haven't already} 

This is the life!

 Last weekend our daughter and her family came down for a visit and our son brought his two little sweeties 

up as well. We all had a wonderful time together!

{I took many, many photos!}

 Annika wanted to set the race car back on it's wheels that were being driven around the driveway, but Jonathan beat her to it so she ran to the side of the pole barn and plopped down in the grass. I told her that they could take turns and she was happy then.

Enjoy your Sunday! This is the day that the Lord hath made!!
