I love this story: McDonalds, Dru, Ernie, and the neighbors.



There's a reason my kids have never had them - not by my buying them, anyway. True story - when my oldest was 6, he and his little brother, 2, went on a playdate to the movies with neighbors. My 2 neighbor friends were shocked and delighted when they brought all the kids (7 total) to McD afterward and my son said, "but there's nothing here I want to eat. What about the salad, I suppose that's not so bad." so he ordered a salad for he and his brother. The other kids ate mcnuggets and fries and sodas. Operation don't go there successful.


Evelyn has still not eaten anything from McDonald's. It never became part of our habit.  It never will.

snowmen in the park by the river

what a cool little accidental find! A park filled with snowmen! We
loved it! Dru was sleepy so he stayed in the car. Evelyn was done
about a second before she got INTO the car! What fun the two littles
had running and throwing sticks into the water! (and dodging the "52
bomber" poop!)
