National Ice Cream Day Muffin Tin Lunch
JDaniel ate everything! The cupcake did disappear first! The frozen banana went second. The chicken went last.
He thought the ice cream cheese sandwich was really cute! I just love it when he digs into lunch! I don’t know if it loved that it was National Ice Cream Day or the fun foods he liked best.
We love ice cream at our house. We couldn’t let the holiday slip by uncelebrated.
