Cravings & Yard Work

Many people have asked me if I've craved any foods during the pregnancy. I really like citrusy foods, like oranges and grapefruit. I've rediscovered the greatest sandwich ever - peanut butter and jelly. And, I believe that a bagel is strictly the means to get the cream cheese into my mouth. But, what I've wanted most is ice cream. I've done well and gotten sugar free or low fat frozen yogurt. However, what I really want is a hot fudge sundae from McDonald's. Unfortunately, I'm batting 0 - 5 in getting one. I've come to the conclusion that McDonald's really doesn't serve hot fudge sundaes. Here's the deal....There is a McDonald's up the street from our house - about a 2 minute drive WITH traffic. I have been there four times in the last 17 weeks. Every time I order a hot fudge sundae the voice on the other end says, "Our ice cream machine is broken." The first time, I believed them. The fourth time, I cried and resigned myself to believe that my McDonald's doesn't have an ice cream machine. So, today, as I was leaving my tennis match (we lost but it was fun), I drove past another McDonald's. Immediately, the tractor beam pulled me into the drive thru. I pull up, and what do I see? A sign that reads, "Ice Cream Machine is Broken. Sorry." Are you kidding me? I am never going to get an ice cream sundae from McDonald's.

Kyle and I had a good weekend. It's gone by too fast. He's spent a lot of time working in our yard lately. Here's a picture of our house. I'm really proud of his hard work...doesn't the front yard look great? And that is from yesterday. It looks even better today!
