Sonic and Smile

Maybe I've been living under a rock, but did you know that Sonic has "happy hour" everyday from 2-5?  You get half-price drinks from the "world's ultimate drink stop"!  I'm going to see if I can use "quotation marks" in every sentence (okay, I just cheated, but here's more)!  The other thing I just discovered is that we live within a few miles of "The World's Newest Sonic".  How do I know this?  They have a big flashing sign, so you won't forget.  After all, that's a much cooler thing to say than "Just Opened".

I became privy to all this amazing new knowledge yesterday, when all three kiddos were under the weather.  Riley was a complete wreck.  The poor girl was stuffed up, had a sore throat and was sporting a fever.  Noelle was a little better, and Brooks is still bothered by incoming teeth.  Obviously, we didn't have any big plans.  So at 3:00, I thought it would be good and fun to throw the kids in the car to get the girls a special cold treat.

We drove to the world's newest Sonic, where I learned about happy hour (woohoo!).  I ordered creamslushes (I think that's what they were called) for the girls and a raspberry Coke for me.  The creamslushes came with huge dollops of whipped topping.  The girls were thrilled.

See what I mean?!  Noelle was loving hers... clearly. 

But for reals, people, she did love it.  She loved it so much that she ignored my order to wait till we got home to eat the whipped cream.

Then she was so thrilled that, when we did get home, she accidentally knocked about 8 oz. of the stuff off the table onto her lap, her chair, and the floor.

But we did get her cleaned up, and then they watched Little Mermaid.  So, all in all, not bad.

But since we're looking at hilarious pictures of children, check out this one I took of Brooks.  Oh, there's just so much to be said.  It makes me laugh every time. :)
