Kate got to have a slumber party with Grandma and ice cream with Papaw. She is always looking for someone to spend the night with. She tries to tell us what her plans are for the weekend and we constantly have to disappoint her by making her spend time with us boring parents. I don't know weather to have hurt feelings or to celebrate her independence? Here's the scoop (ha! get it?)... She just had to buy Papaw an ice cream set for his birthday back in December. It was a cute set with waffle cone shaped bowls, toppings and an ice cream scoop. I remembered eating ice cream with my other grandfather all of the time when I would spend the night (vanilla ice cream from the big tub with strawberry sauce- YUMMO!) so I knew I couldn't resist her insistance. She said they would be having pink and purple ice cream. I told her that I was pretty sure they didn't have purple but pink would work. Well, Papaw was sick and then we made him sicker with our super tummy virus so her plans had to wait a little while. FINALLY, Grandma invited her to spend the night on Friday and off we went to get ice cream. To my shock I found PURPLE ice cream (Black Berry Cobbler)! I bought pink (strawberry) and brown (chocolate) too. I had to resist staying the whole evening and snapping a photograph of their every bite. I left my camera instead so all photos are courtesy of Grandma :) As you can tell they ENJOYED their ice cream! ...and Kate enjoyed her evening away from us.
