My September goal of making ice cream every week has turned to popsicles. I saw this recipe for chocolate pudding pops in Cooking Light and had to try it. I thought they were delicious but Jacob says they were too chocolaty, a concept I am not familiar with.
Jacob would tell you that he was not looking forward to the first day of school but the night before his shoes, socks and clothes were all laid out. This morning he was up all dressed including shoes, bed made and ready for breakfast. While I heated up pancakes he made his lunch! I can only hope that this routine will continue. 
I some how missed making ice cream this summer so my goal for September is to make ice cream once a week. This weeks' selection comes from Cooking Light and was a big hit with the family.
We had a Moroccan Labor Day meal with lamb chops, Moroccan mashed potato casserole and Moroccan carrot salad. The meal had mixed reviews. We all loved the lamb chops, we were divided on the potato casserole and no one liked the dressing on the carrot salad. Dessert was a big hit also. More to come on our ice cream adventures.
At 6 AM this morning we were awoken to the unmistakable sound of balloon twisting. Jacob, inspired by his trip to Farrell's, made this balloon hat. Don't you wish you had one?
