We made it! The first day of MOPs was a huge success. Mommy Lion is co-co-ordinating for her first time. She told me yesterday she would give it a nine on a scale of one to ten! Woo-Hoo!!!
We celebrated last night with a trip to Sonic. Mommy Lion got a Caramel Crunch Blast, Little Lion got a Jr. Banana Split, Little Pumpkin got a Strawberry Shake, and I got a Lime Slush.
Yuck! I traded with Little Lion because lime slushes from Sonic are not good! I remember, from being a little boy, going to Burgerville U.S.A. in the Portland (OR) Metro Area and getting green slushes. They were lime, and the only flavor they had. For some reason I've been reminiscing about them the last week and really wanted to get to a place where I could get one! Sonic uses real limes, Burgerville was like the slushy machine at Target (remember when the only place you could get slushies was K-Mart?). Anyway, the Burgerville slushys had the green snowcone juice all mixed in and were pretty good 29 years ago! And you could sit in a train car and eat your food. Oh to be five again!
Back to the story. I ate the rest of Little Lion's Banana Split, he spilled the slush on the floor of the truck, then put a hole in the bottom of the cup trying to scoop it up. Mommy Lion gave me the last of her Blast, and after Little Pumpkin had fallen asleep, her Strawberry Shake . . . Disappeared?????
Everyone ended up happy, thanks so much for your prayers and support over MOP's!!
