The GI Food Challenge

This is the end picture!

March 3, 2012

Will's GI group likes to have FUN! So one of the attendings found a place in Boonville, Mo which is only about 45 minutes away from us which has a ice cream parlor that has an ice cream eating contest. Well I guess its more like you can order this bowl of ice cream and you have an hour to eat it and then its free, f you don't its $30. Luckily one of the attendings paid for all the ice cream. This place is called Carrie Lynn's Ice Cream Parlor. This bowl of ice cream has 16 scoops of ice cream, brownie bites, 2 big chocolate chip cookies and whip cream and other things.

There were 4 people from Will's work that did this challenge and none of them finished it. There was one guy that had 4 scoops left and Will took a big chunk out of his but they all left feeling not so good. Will got up after he was done and went to the bathroom and felt much better after he left most of the ice cream, in the bathroom.

The kids thought it was pretty cool to watch their dad do this. I'm not sure when Will will eat ice cream again.

Fun Writings

February 20, 2012
Carter has brought home a lot of things from school and these two were ones that I really enjoyed. The first one is from a girl in his class talking about how she likes him, and the second one is written by Carter about what he wants to do when he grows up.

It says: When I grow up I want to be a doctor because I want to work on guts and because I want to be like my dad.
I love to see Carter write what he thinks. Carter is beginning to read and its so fun to hear him.

A New Tradtion

February 21, 2012
This evening we went to some friends house and cerebrated Fat Tuesday with them. We had great food and great fun. When it came time to dessert we had King Cake and we each got to pick the piece that we wanted. With King Cake somewhere in the cake is a little baby and the person who gets it has to bring the cake next year. This is what we did with our friends, I think other people do different things with it. Carter was the one that had the little baby in it so I guess we will be bring the cake next year.
