… is a summer treat.
Eating it while sitting on top of the dining table seems to be a bigger treat for some reason!
PS: Do go across to Saffron Tree and read my review of On the tip of a Pin was…. a sweet little story about exploring new avenues and being appreciated for who you are. Funnily, it was a well-timed read in the midst of the admission struggles.
The Mad Momma 
Ice cream for lunch sounds very good. Can I have some? 🙂
You didn’t say yes!! I was planning to visit you and kids in May during my holidays 🙂
yes yes. to both. you have to come and you have to have icecream. in fact we shall do a reunion. let me see if there’s anyone from our old office I can invite too.
Sitting on the table for a meal is so much fun.No so elegant when you are an adult and have to worry if the table will just topple over with your weight:)
As a kid, I would promptly go to sleep on the dining table when I was too tired to take myself to bed.And at times while lying and reading on the bed, I would smuggle my cookies in to chomp on.My dad thought that his daughter was weird who liked to sleep on the dining table and dine on the bed 😉
ha ha! he had a point!
the dining table has def hoarded its share of memories! 🙂
and nothing beats ice cream for lunch! 😀
🙂 its lovely to see people remembering such little stuff. like the dining table.
Lookit those darling baby legs of the Bean’s! We’re pigging out on ice-cream too, no thoughts to calories and coughs! Feels so freeing!
🙂 they still look like baby legs na? skinny though they are…
Here’s Bataany’s innovative use for the dining table: She always HAD to go and lie down on her tummy under the table when she had to poop. Always. And she would make a screen for herself with the chairs. Of course, this was when she hadn’t yet started using the potty and was still in her diapers. 😀
kids love doing that for some reason! hiding when they poop.
The other day I had a chocobar for breakfast ! imagine 🙂 I must add..it was a gud day 🙂
He reads books while he eats?
Am reminded of myself,even now while in mom’s place i read something even while mucnhing on some snack.
he reads on the pot too!
Well,i dont do it in pot,but my sis does,later i feel very odd to touch that book even,so i restrict her to use only those books i think i will not read again,how is it with u?
ROFL! the only place i get ten minutes of peace is on the pot. if i debarred those books i’d have nothing left to read. but i understand your pain 😀
Your kids get to eat ice cream for lunch? I’ll give you a good idea. Adopt me, and looking after kids will come free 😉
done.;) now no backing out.
oh thats all ojas has been having here too and the exact same way inspite of the fact that my dining table is glass and i am worried he will break it one of these days
and when i read that book review the first thing that came to my mind was how apt 🙂
aww.. he’s only a baby. he’s not going to bring the table down!
It’s a good thing I can’t see the picture for now. Because the title of the post is bad enough to make me crave ice cream RIGHT NOW.
and why cant you see the pic?
They don’t ever load when I’m connected through my data card. But don’t worry, I went home and saw the pic WHILE digging into chocolate ice cream 🙂
hey. i read your blog often though i don’t comment very much. i don’t really understand the different feelings that children provoke. i’m just a kid, myself.
but there is something i came across, which i think may interest you. here’s the link.

i hope it interests you.
i’ve written on this many a time.. for blank noise.
Send me a link to your blank noise posts, please?
they’re on the old blog that i shut down
Hey, how come I haven’t seen you on MY blog? 😛
sure you have… although i must admit i barely blog surf anymore. 😦
no no, i meant aarabik. you i’ve seen MM. aarabik posted my url n i’ve never seen her! 😦
oh.. *looks embarrassed*
oops.. sorry!
I want some too! Your table cloth is gorgeous! Everyone of them! If you don’t mind can you tell me where you get them?
will you kill me if i say i bought it off the roadside? at a fair? sigh. i thought so.
Why would I? I so luv roadside buys! You get fabulous stuff that you don’t find in stores. And talk about the price difference! I believe in home decor that is not insanely expensive. My home is decorated with pieces that we bought at sales & bargains. I so… love the way you have decorated your home.
🙂 thank you. mostly roadside maal.
“Now look at them yo-yo’s,
that’s the way you do it…”
Ice cream for lunch and photographs for freeeee.. -:)
oh i do love it when lyrics worm their way in.
awww.. icecream for lunch is awesome!! 🙂
and sitting on the table to eat it is all the more awesome!! i still do it at times (enduring the risk of the table breaking down! 😦 )
Loved the review. The book sounds really good. As does ice-cream on the dining table. 🙂
I feel like reading ‘Oh the places you’ll go’ to the Brat. I consider it one of the best books written. Seuss it is.
And there is the dining table. Making more memories 🙂
oh i must get it for him. they have a couple of the seuss books but i am hunting for more. we did a whole seuss special on Saffron Tree. http://www.saffrontree.org/2010/03/happy-birthday-drseuss.html
good fun!
Ice-cream for lunch???? Get out of here!!! You are hands down the best mum everrrr!!!
*light bulb moment*
so laziness and bribery can be made to look good?!
How tall has the Brat gotten? He looks like a big boy now. 😦
Ice cream for lunch is something I used to do when I was in school… aaah… memories…
aah brought back a rush of old memories.. esp Ma screaming at us and Dad coming to rescue and then picking my legs (just like Bean’s) and kssing them *sigh* .. the bygone saga …. awesome treat it looks… oh btw its an awesome cover u got for the table… real neat 😀
