jury duty, pool, ice cream truck

monday i had jury duty. i tried to enjoy the peace and quiet. but spending my time in a basement with 80 other strangers is not fun. 'nuff said. fortunately, my stupendous services were not needed and i was home in 3 hours. so after lunch and nap, the girls and i headed to the pool on another gorgeous day!

they love the pool...but i will never again go during 'regular' hours. we from now on will only be at the pool during toddler hour!
it was just crazy with a million much-too-old-for-the-baby-pool kids there...
e even got stepped on.... :( by a 16/17 year old!
but we had fun nonetheless...
after dinner at home, we were headed out with daddy to get some frozen yogurt when the ice cream truck came by our house. it was insane timing and once again i was reminded the universe is on my side....ahahaha.

so we of course chose the ice cream truck selection instead...shrek bars...



looks like she was offering, but trust me - she was NOT.
shrek bars were very soft....and drippy....ad kept trying to save each last drop by swiping it up with her finger and licking it....
and yes, it was right after i shot this picture that elena's shrek got a new home...
in a bowl....
it was still just as good....
ad's knew the bowl would be a better home and followed....

ya gotta love messy ice cream on the front stoop during sunset...



thank goodness for white cover-ups that tolerate lots and lots of bleach...
