French Fries and Chicken

Thursday was the infamous day for Ol' McDonald's. When Grandma Sherry finally told the kids, they were ready to go right then! They immediately said that they would get French fries and chicken. We don't go out to eat often, (okay, it's almost never) so when we go to a "restaurant" it's a big deal to the kids, even if it McDonald's. They always order the same thing, so I guess it doesn't matter where you go, does it?

We didn't have as much time at McDonald's as we would've liked, but it was fun regardless. There are Wizard of Oz toys now (which in my opinion are less scary than Batman...just don't ask my brother in law, Kyle for his opinion on that subject) so I requested that the kids get those in their happy meal. They've never seen either movie, but Marshall's track record with any super-hero that he's seen at Target or Wal-Mart has taught me to avoid all serious-looking action figures. ("He is staring anxiously at me Mommy." or "Spiderman is scary. He has no eyes!") They named their Oz figures Mr. Phillips (the teacher's name in Anne of Green Gables) and Mr.Green. We have heard numerous conversations in the car ever since. What vivid imaginations these two munchkins have!

All in all, Sherry got major brownie points today. There's more on the way for sure.
