A Yummy Treat!

Last Saturday morning I took the girls to get their haircut. Brian stayed back so he could clean the house. I was lucky in that there were two stylists available to cut the girls' hair at the same time, so I didn’t have to wait around. However, it meant that I needed a way to waste some additional time so Brian could clean and vacuum in peace. I decided to take the girls to Krispy Kreme. While we have had many donuts over the past few years, we haven't been to Krispy Kreme.

For $3.00, I bought at least 30 minutes of entertainment value. Allison painstakingly picked every single sprinkle off her donut and ate them before she finally ate the donut itself. I thought that we were never going to get out of there. Amelia, on the other hand, stuck her face in the donut and licked the frosting. At the end, she had a face completely covered in frosting and sprinkles and a donut with a mouse-sized bite out of it. After they ate their treat, I showed them how the donuts are made. Allison was fascinated with the whole process. When I told her it was time to go, she told me “Eight more minutes Mom!” Normally she says “Two more minutes Mom” so I knew that she was really enjoying the tour. I think we will be making more trips to Krispy Kreme in the future.

For Christmas, the girls received trays with their names printed on them. Not having complete confidence that Amelia wouldn’t just sit on them and break them, we kept them hidden until a few weeks ago. Now Allison always wants to eat her meals/snacks in the living room using the trays. She tells us “I want to eat on my name.” We also have placemats with their names which has worked out wonderfully. There are no longer fights on who is going to sit where at the dinner table.
