Happiness in a Cup

We contemplated the fancy yogurt shop in town.

The getting out of the car, the getting in the shop, the $20 for everyone's treat, the mess all over everyone's shirt, the getting back in the car.

So, we decided to head toward the golden arches and get everyone nice self-contained milkshakes.

Let me tell you, the McD's have upgraded their milkshakes from back in the day.  Whip cream, a cherry on top, and a generous portion, all this worked out well for the kiddos.



And mommy and daddy got 20 minutes of peaceful conversation in the car.

{Eli and Colin finished their milkshakes just fine. Walker declared that he had enough sugar and stopped halfway through. Comments like that certainly don't come from my side of the family, in fact we are still searching for the origin.}
