Swimming in the pool everyday, even if it's only for an hour or so, is wiping the kids out. Late afternoon naps are becoming longer and longer and many evenings I am waking them up just before dinnertime. Later naps, later bedtimes...but that's what summer is all about!
Last Thursday both kids were konked out all afternoon. Todd had a business dinner that night and wouldn't be home until late. At 5:00 Ross had just woken up and Bridget was still sound asleep. I didn't feel like making dinner for just the 3 of us and with them napping so late I'd knew they'd be up late. A little trip out seemed more than appropriate! Bridget was thrilled when I woke her up from her nap and told her we were going to McDonald's for dinner and then to the park!
I guess not everything from the past is long forgotten because a trip to McDonald's is still just as exciting as I remember it being as a kid. She was talking notstop about the McNuggets, the chocolate milk, her little ketchup cup and the toy she would get in her happy meal. I know some people would rather croak than feed their kids fast food, but I'm okay with it. Every once in awhile a surprise fast food meal is just what you need. And...it was GOOD!
Mmm, mmm, good!
Just a few pictures from the park and mostly of Ross since I can't over the fact that he is FINALLY walking! The heat at 7:00 at night was only slightly more bearable than the middle of the day heat. We weren't there long...
Where is my baby and who is this little boy??
It makes me happy to know that a little trip to McDonald's can mean so much to the kids. It was fun and yummy and for all of us!
