Muppets....need I say more?

I wore my muppet shirt today so the boys were pointing at all the characters right away asking me who they all were either verbally or in Andrew's case, with his very ellaborate facial expressions. It made me start singing the theme song and later in the day I obviously HAD to find the song so the kids could hear it. Not only did I find the song but a video no less. Be sure to check out the guest star on this particular episode. Memories...

Blue Bell Factory Tour

I should rename my blog "The Forgetful One's Blog". I don't know how I didn't post about this memorable day on July 9th. I had been wanting to take the kids to the Blue Bell Ice Cream Factory in Brenham, Texas. William was actually excited when I told him about it and we barely made it to one of the last tours they had that day. They started the tour with a short "film" about the history of Blue Bell and then we were taken through the building where we could see into the factory where the ice cream is made and packaged. It was pretty amazing how much ice cream is made and also baffling how although they obviously have to keep the factory and the ice cream frozen and cold, behind the window where we stood there seemed to be absolutely NO air conditioning whatsoever. Besides the heat down all the hallways, our lovely tour ended with a free scoop of ice cream and about ten flavors we could choose from! Yum! Andrew was a bit cranky this day but we made it through the tour and the kiddos got to enjoy their ice cream out in the 90+ degree weather. Right about then we were wishing we worked INSIDE the factory!
