THE NITTY GRITTY
HELLO

Hi. I'm Amanda...a happy wife and mom to three awesome guys. We've lived here in Fort Collins for more than 20 years and are proud to call it home. Before moving to CO, I worked at a city attorney's office, making use of my law and Master's degrees from Duke. After settling in Fort Collins, I homeschooled my three (now teenage and older) sons and was delighted to experience music classes, soccer, karate, swim team, archery, Science Olympiad, First Lego League, parkour, and climbing (not all at the same time!). From 2005-10, I was also a contributing editor for a national scrapbooking magazine, authoring a book and a couple of monthly columns. From 2009-10, I founded and ran the Good Grief Blog. I enjoy learning new things, spending time with my family, volunteering with The Matthews House, traveling and indoor rock climbing.

Taquito ice cream.

DateTuesday, January 20, 2009 at 11:58PM

Just a quick Micah funny...

So, we were on our way to the mall where I'd promised the boys a stop at Dairy Queen if they behaved themselves while I got some shopping done (needed to use those Gymbucks, lol!). They did, and we headed to DQ for the promised ice cream. When I asked them what they wanted, Micah kept insisting that he wanted "taquito ice cream." Seriously. That's what he was saying. Asher and I were baffled, but Noah figured it out...Micah actually wanted COOKIE DOUGH ice cream! Ah. Why didn't I think of that? ;)

HA!!! That cracks me up! LOL! I bet you could make ice cream taquitos, though...fried outer shell stuffed with yummy ice cream and drenched in caramel or strawberry sauce instead of salsa or enchilada sauce! Oooo....that sounds good! We will use Cookie Dough ice cream just for Micah!

my older son (now 9) would translate his lil' brother's (now 7) language to us when they were small. we had to keep gabriel around whenever we need a translation. i miss that part of my boys when they were about 5 and 3 years old. they grow so fast!
