A very serious, professional survey

ICE CREAM NIGHT!

My dear hubbie is addicted to Cinnamon Buns Ben and Jerry ice cream. ADDICTED. (which doesn't bode well for my calorie counting). And, he often (at crazy hours) decides that we should go for ice cream (and, no. He's not pregnant). A lot of times this is when I'm working. He packs up all three kiddos - puts them in the car - and heads to Wegman's for ice cream. All the boys pick out one pint of ice cream each- then they sit in front of the TV and eat their ice cream w/ a spoon - directly from the pint.

Are you getting the picture?

Well - after soccer tourneys a few weeks ago, Eddie decided we should all go for ice cream. And then we (mutually) decided to try 11 different kinds of Ben and Jerry ice cream and rank them on a scale of 1-10 to determine which we like best.

By about the 6th pint, we were sick. Kind of like..."OMG! I'm going to puke." Then, "YOU CAN'T STOP. EAT THE ICE CREAM. WE MUST RATE IT!!!!"

So, after the miserable task of trying all the ice creams - and watching the super funny show "Tooth Fairy" while we were getting sick. These are the final results:

Overall fave: Cinnamon Buns

Owen's fave: Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

Megan's fave: Everything But The

Eddie's fave: Cinnamon Buns

Emmett's fave: Brownie Batter

Henry's fave: ALL OF THEM!

Least fave: Strawberry Cheesecake and Banana Split (no chocolate in these - automatic low rating from Owen and I)

More top rated picks: Karamel Sutra, Milk and Cookies

We are planning an upcoming Factory Tour of Ben and Jerry's in Vermont. A family has to have priorities, right?

OMG! That is pure craziness! What a fantastic memory!!! We don't eat B & J's but if we did, I'm sure I'd be all for chocolate chip cookie dough!!!

No New York Super Fudge Chunk! What is wrong with you chocolate lovers! You may not be eating as much ice cream now that you are all sick from it! I do that with cookie dough every time I make it! Why do we punish ourselves with over indulgence?
