Improvising...

Happy Monday all!

Well, we have another beautiful (not that we've had that many but this is a good one...) day and things are busy, busy, busy at P&P...

We've got vacations to cover, monitorings to do and some summer fun to continue to have!

K and the kids are at the beach with their cousins and I'm here hanging with Lilly!

Yesterday, Mr. P&P announced we were going for ice cream mid-afternoon and who was I to argue?!

So, we packed Lilly in the car (she doesn't mind the car and does well, but Ally LOVED car rides...Lilly, we think, tolerates them to get, well, ice cream or to the beach) and off we went to Kimball's II

Now, that is a pic of Kimball's I (aka the Main Kimball's) but we do not go there due to the length of the lines (it can be an HOUR in line in the summer) even though it's mere seconds from our house. (Mr. P&P doesn't do 'waiting'...)

Anyway, we go to Kimball's II and I will not tell you where it is under pain of death. Why?! I don't want THOSE lines to get big...sorry! ;)

We arrive at Kimball's II and Mr. P&P settles on a chocolate chip cookie dough frappe and I, of course, decide to get a pint of chocolate peanut butter for the week. Lilly will get a 'dog sized' scoop (they actually have special paper dishes for the puppies) of vanilla.

I approach the window (NO line!!) and order. The nice boy behind the window tells me they are out of chocolate peanut butter (horrors!)...I say, "OK, how about chocolate chip peanut butter" (a variation on my fave). The nice boy says, "We're out of that too" WTF?

Ok, regroup here...stay calm...

I say, "Ok, I'll have a pint of chocolate and a container of the peanut butter topping".

As we drove home, I told Mr. P&P about the horror of them being out of my 2 faves and what I did to improvise...he said, "Good thinking dear!"

I thought so too!

And you know what?

It's GREAT that way! Chocolate ice cream with the peanut butter topping...GENIUS!

I think I'll have another bowl tonight after supper! (Oh and after kicking your tushes in Circuit!)

HAHA
