Christian gets one visit with the "ice cream truck" per summer. Now if it wasn't really just a popsicle minivan selling frozen corn syrup and FD&C colors for THREE BUCKS A POP I might revisit this policy. But it's not hard to stay firm after he walks away with the Sponge Bob monstrousity (the same thing he picked last year- and he's not even allow to watch that hideous show). We had to have a little chat about how much a whole box of popsicles goes for at the grocery store. Yep, about $3 buddy!

oh the damn ice cream truck-what a terrible rip off and the bane of every parent's existence. thankfully they do not come to our neighborhood, but i hear their noxious bells and want to tell the kids "hear that? that means little demons are coming-quick! go in the house!" it is best to teach them these things early on i think.... and we have a just say no to spongebob policy around here, too. you are among your people here sista!!
I love the ice-cream truck! :) It is such a good childhood memory. Unfortunately, it doesn't stop in front of our house b/c we live on a bussier street. I know you hate the idea and I'm all about being wise with money, but it's so fun to splurge on things like that every once in a while. :)
I sound just like you. Unfortunately, the ice cream truck LIVES on our street - ok, that's an exaggeration but it comes daily and most of the kids purchase several times a week (I think the reason he hits us up so often). And popcicles, actually only cost like $1.50 for 12 and yes, that's the discussion my kids get everyday when he comes round and its worked - they don't ask so much anymore!
my kids thinks it's a music van! It plays music when it's out of ice cream. And I won't financially support a man that speeds through our neighborhood with music blaring when my kids are trying to sleep.
We say no to Spongebob too!
Icecream truck doesn't come here! Thank the Lord! I am too frugal, too, to give in to THAT! BUT, I suspect my oldest would be sucked in...with her OWN money, of course!
