Vita Mix

For our date night Peter and I stopped at Sam's to check out rings (I'm getting my first real diamond ring soon), and while we were there, some guy was doing a Vita Mix presentation. Peter and I were amazed at how delicious the foods were. We even had vegetable strawberry ice cream. Then, after learning that it cam grind wheat, make peanut/nut butters, we were sold.

So we went home that night and checked out the prices on the internet and discovered that this was a good deal we were getting. Not cheap, but totally worth it, so we went the next morning and bought one. To test out our new product we tried t copy the ice cream demo. We had Joey add the half and half, tomatoes, carrots, cabbage, strawberries and ice. And the boys loved it! The first night it had a mild tomato aftertaste when it was a little slushy, but we freezed the left overs in Popsicle molds and when it was totally frozen you couldn't even tell. It was amazing! My boys were gobbling up veggies right before my eyes :)

Happy customer

I had to get a close up of this eye wound that Joey got. We made a hop scotch outside and when Joey got to the last square he kept right on jumping and rammed his head into the grill. I thought he had a serious concision, but was glad to see nothing else seemed wrong. Until 30 seconds later when blood started coming from the corner of his eye. I thought it was coming from some serious head injury and pouring out his eye. I had a momentary panic attack...planning how I was going to get to the hospital...when I lifted up his eye lid and discovered it was just a small cut. Jeeze, these kids will sure give you a heart attack!

So to help his wound, Joey used his own home remidy of applying lots of lotion daily to help it feel better. His scabage (as he calls it) went away quickly with his doctoring.
