Basketball and Ice Cream

Because Paul plays basketball just about every afternoon, PJ has a fascination with anything involving slam dunks, basketballs and hoops. So, to add fuel to his fire, Paul made this make shift basketball "net" even though it is made out of cardboard! The boys have lots of fun trying to make "baskets" now.

Last week PJ requested that we should buy some ice cream cones sometime and have ice cream in them. So, when we headed to the grocery store I picked up a box of cones. PJ picked out chocolate ice cream with chocolate chunks (really good!) and we filled up the cones. Both boys (and mommy) enjoyed this special treat! At first, Calvin wasn't sure what to do with the cone but he quickly figured it all out.

The past five days have been quite rainy here in our part of the world. Thursday to Friday it pretty much rained non-stop. I know many of you out there are not rain-lovers, but I really enjoy the break from the sun! In Thailand when you have a rainy day it's like having a snow day in PA. There's lots of time for cuddling and reading good books, playing games and even watching Winnie the Pooh. Maybe some of you Floridians out there know what I mean! Unfortunately, when it rains here they are no trips to the park or really anywhere because NO ONE wants to get wet. (And when I say NO ONE I don't really mean we foreigners but mainly the Thais...I think they are afraid of the rain!) When it rains here it also means that my kitchen is a bit cooler for cooking which makes me even happier! So this past week we had things on the menu such as macaroni and cheese, lasagna, stromboli, Italian chicken, etc, not to mention the apple crisp and applesauce for dessert! So, in my opinion, bring on the rain! Dibble, dibble, dibble, dibble, dopp, dopp, dopp. =) Can anyone guess what Dr. Suess book that come (correction...comes) from???!!??
