  4. I have two... lol - one -

    Grapelicious Yogurt Pops

    Popsicle Mold
    Grape Juice
    Vanilla Yogurt

    One teaspoon of vanilla yogurt in each popsicle mold. Fill 3/4 with Grape Juice and then add another teaspoon - or maybe two of more yogurt. Stir them up - and freeze! It makes the greatest swirled yogurt and grape popsicles and the kids LOVE them. Even my middle child who hates yogurt eats these.

    Now - for something more adult that James used to make when we had parties for my August BIrthday -

    Watermelon
    VOdka

    Drill a hole in the watermelon - and insert the bottle of Vodka. Flip it over and let the vodka slowly drain into the melon. We used to ice it down and let the vodka just drain into it all day - and then cut it open mid party. Many people had just a little too much fun after a little of James's Vodka Watermelon. Of course we don't do that anymore!! Ha!
