If Your Girl's Night Out Flops . . . .

because only one of your girls shows up. Here's whatcha do: save the fondue fixings for another day and head to Outback for a Bloomin' Onion. Eat a lot, and then try and prank someone who couldn't show up to par-tay.

Then, use the fondue a little later to party with the boys. I think they might be more fun anyway. Well, I guess it just kind of depends on what you're after. If you need some girl talk - - - 2 and 4 year old boys aren't you're best bet. If you need someone to be amazed that you would even let them have sharp sticks and dip sweets in chocolate and get chocolate everywhere including your ears, then 2 and 4 year old boys will do.
Here's What We Dipped.

Here's what we dipped it in. Or what was left of it after we were dipping.


Here's how we dipped it. Yep, two at a time. We Shafer's don't do food halfway, as in with only one hand.
And here's how we felt while we were eating it.

Except for Yo' Mama because my invention was too sophisticated for the stick. And in case you are wondering, it is: a Pepperidge Farm Milano dipped in chocolate, then topped with one slice of strawberry and one slice of banana. Then dipped in chocolate again. Noah's exact words were, "I guess if you are going to choke and die, then that is the way to go." To which I responded, "mmmmmmhhhhhhmmmm, dslfkjasldfd," Translation: "mmmmhhhhhmmmm, this is seriously awesome."

Steph, it is just IKEA. You could have your own for $5.

Calvin has really transformed into Yoshi. I see a little Asian inspired features in his face.

never really thought about it, but that is definitely a desirable way to die!

I can't believe my girly, girl could get most of that in her mouth in one bite. What a grand time, I wish I would have been there to share your fondue. That is what you call pure bliss.

I dream about the food pictures on your blog.

Are you eating chalk and morter this time around? Or just milano concoctions. Good choice. I can't go to the Fountain City library without seeing you eating the rock wall. Crazy.
