My sister carried on the tradition. To a certain degree, I think that's nicer than the kids knowing it's an ice cream, but never getting to buy any...which is how I was raised. I think I can count on one hand (fingers only) the number of times we got ice cream from the truck. ;-(<br><br>I like that you were so excited for your kids.Kathleenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04399098868122212536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8302027825736277868.post-54599677598916834532009-07-11T18:03:04.457-04:002009-07-11T18:03:04.457-04:00you are a frickin riot! titty talkin!! that'...you are a frickin riot! titty talkin!! that's as good as when i type my email address and "wink wink" accidentally type <br><br>cocmast <br>instead of <br>comcast<br><br>lmaosupah ~dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08216064025672866624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8302027825736277868.post-66333593090477541822009-07-10T21:40:03.929-04:002009-07-10T21:40:03.929-04:00Great idea bout the icecream envelope!!
