Popsicle Truck

On Tuesday after coming home tired from daycare, we watched Daddy finish mowing the lawn then we intercepted the popsicle truck.
We went with one of these tricolor tube like popsicles.

Oooh its yummy and cold on a hot afternoon.

Looks pretty cool too.

Then Matthew decided that he needed to get down off the step and apparently he can't step down without putting the popsicle on the ground.

So after a quick (although not quick enough for Matthew) rinse Daddy gave the treat back.

Still tastes good even with tears, dirt and snot mixed in.

Yep, still looks cool even though it is starting to get a little worse for wear.

More dirt and grass for extra flavor.

Unfortunately with each drop on the ground and each successive rinsing, Mathew is losing his patience with us stealing his food.

Yeah, not happy with us. He is also getting increasingly tired as the minutes pass.

Now he is taking his treat off where we can't get it from him.

At this point I think he was starting to feel the effects of holding on to the icy cold popsicle instead of the plastic handle because he was crying pretty much constantly now.

Still tastes good though.

Uh oh, I think we have reached our limit.

So we let Matthew play with the hose in lieu of a bath.

He loves the hose and played would play with it FOREVER if we would let him.

Happy again.

And we are left with a memento of our afternoon.
