That's a beautiful picture of your kids hon. You should get that framed!! I can see in their eyes that they know how special you are.

Ok...I admit it, lonesome mom is really lonesome!!! A year is my limit.

They look like lovely kids! And any day spent eating ice cream has got to be a good one.

2 Questions:

1) Mr. Butterson?! Ok, there's got to be a story behind that one.

2) So tell me, how do ice cream and tomatoes taste together?

for some reason i made a peace sign right back to those kids in my computer, like they could see me.... i need coffee, i agree with ice bug however, Butterson? Tomatoes? do tell.

It's like Margie's! 

Plus your mom's right about your students--you must be an amazing teacher to have your kids want to meet you for ice cream.  GO Bugg. 

Thanks for the comments everyone.
I'm actually not sure how Mr. Butterson got his name. I think he started out choosing the name John Butterson, which eventually evolved into Mr. Butterson. When I worked at the high school I also had a student named Dr. Eom. Creative students!
I've gotten a tad bit more used to tomatoes as fruit, but it is still a little strange. I greatly prefer strawberries in my ice cream to tomatoes, red beans, or corn.
