Ice cream truck.





Long gone are the days when Liv thought the ice cream truck was the "music truck".  That worked for two years but this year it isn't flying.  She knows he is good for more than just bringing joyful music to the neighborhood.
The time has come where every night between 6:15 and 6:45, he pays a visit past our house.  It is such an amazing and fun-filled memory that Liv will have of her childhood.  
There are some new guidelines that the Katrina household has set for this upcoming "Soft Serve Season".  Mr. Softie does not have enough ice cream for every kid in the neighborhood, so Liv has to share the ice cream truck with her fellow friends and neighbors.  Last night, Liv waved to Mr. Softie as he parked in front of our house and served the children that didn't get it the evening before (when Liv did).  She knew the next night was "Livi's night".  And Tomorrow night is Holly's night (her friend down the street).  Basically, everyone has their special night and the mommy and daddy's are given a schedule to know which night is their night.

This new guideline prevents me from being the meany......no tantrums.

I am not sure how many years (or weeks) we can pull this "Rule" off.  But is it working for now.
