This past week she has been getting so good at walking with her new walker! She will just pull up and boot scoot across the floor! So cute. By the way, if you've never seen her videos, check out youtube.com and search mattschilb and you can see the little thing in action!
Fun times at the Bentonville Square and Farmer's Market.
I had seen some brown paper sacks at Walmart by the bananas several times but never really paid any attention until last week. They are speckled bananas for $.25 per pound. Cheap. That's Lil's favorite food so I bought 3 and a half pounds of them. I searched for fun banana recipes and decided to make banana oatmeal chocolate chip cookies (which were awesome!) and banana ice cream. The website said to freeze some bananas and just blend them without adding anything and it will become creamy ice cream. Super easy, right? Wrong! Guess what it forgot to mention...you can't peel a frozen banana. I was really upset when I got those frozen bananas out and tried to peel one. So I thawed and refroze them, but the blender couldn't blend them. Huge disappointment.
Anyway. We've been enjoying going to the pool the past two weekends while Grandpa and GG graciously baby sit. Our pool is very shallow and swarming with small children and we actually noticed that the water color has just a tinge of yellow to it...but let me tell ya', we feel like we're on a Princess Cruise when we go baby-less! Laying there basking in the sun like lizards is the perfect way to top off the weekend.
Jill - we used to make ice cream out of frozen bananas! You have to peel and dice the bananas into small pieces...lay them out flat on a small sheet pan to freeze them. This will make them easier to blend up! Yum. You should really try again.
