Dinner and Gelato Cones

This past Sunday, as usual, the kids visited and we had a nice afternoon and evening together. Dinner was a tasty herb encrusted pork roast and, to be honest, I really didn't think it would go over all that well with the kids. I was completely wrong though!

The kids each had three platefuls of pork, roasted potatoes and gravy. Less popular were the carrots but they did have a serving each. Their lack of interest in the carrots also surprised me because these carrots were in a butter and brown sugar glaze which I thought they would really like. Truth be known, I won't eat carrots without a glaze like this!

Typically after dinner, we usher the kids quickly into the bathroom for showers. This time we tried something a little different before showertime.

We had some black cherry gelato in the freezer so we put a scoop or two in a couple of ice cream cones for the kids. That, too, went over well and excited the kids!

Their laps were covered in melted gelato by the time they finished their cones. Surprisingly, their faces and hands weren't too bad. So, after Grammy wiped down all the little hands and mouths and removed all the sticky clothes, the kids went in for their showers.

As you can see in the photos here, the kids enjoyed their gelato cones. Needless to say, we enjoyed their company as well.

Now... where is my bowl of gelato?
