Homemade Ice Cream

Since I have a toddler now, I am finding I have to be "creative" in how I entertain...Has anyone tried this? I have heard it is good....

Homemade Ice Cream: "Homemade Ice Cream

Here is a quick recipe to keep the kids busy and provide them a delicious treat!

1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup half and half
1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 sandwich size Ziploc bags
1 one gallon size Ziploc bag
2 cups ice
1 tablespoon coarse salt

1. Put one small Ziploc bag inside the other then add the milk, half and half, sugar, and vanilla extract to the inside bag.

2. Remove excess air & seal both bags.

3. Add the ice and salt to larger bag and place smaller bag inside. Seal firmly.

4. Now it's time for the kids to shake, rattle & roll the baggie. Ice cream will be ready to eat in 5-10 minutes."

You might as well train them early....

It is my super power...LOL!

I procrastinate at all sorts of things...
cleaning my house...
bills
scrap booking..(I have been trying to scrapbook my wedding for years..I think I have done ten pages..
Reading good books...
bills..(oh..said that already....)

changing diapers...My daughter is still sitting in the one I put her in at birth...(Joking people...relax....)

What kind of things do you procrastinate at??

Mr. Potato Head

Maybe I should just buy the kid some glasses and a hat.....

Sigh...

I guess I won't be looking after Cassidy today after all...I am so disapointed.
I have only seen her three times since birth...

and my son is refusing his nap....coulda used a break today.....

I thought that today, I would post some pics of my grandson Talon, since I don't have as many up here as I would like...
We actually don't get to see him that often, although he and his mommy live three blocks away..
She has been busy with school, and work
and I find it hard to babysit with two under two myself...
I do have my grand daughter Cassidy today...who is 6 weeks older then Gracie...
We will see how that gos....
i am looking forward to it though...
