Late Night Date Night

We have been promising Truett and Emma a trip to the snowball stand for a couple of days, so last night, we headed to Bahama Buck's at 9:30!  We usually go through the drive-thru and take our treats home but being that it was so late, we weren't sure our kids would still be awake by the time we got home, so we decided to go in.

While Jay stood in line (yes, there was a line even that late at night!), I sat at the table with the kids and Emma's date (who is lying on the table and will be explained later in this post) and played checkers. 

Truett ordered his favorite - RAINBOW!  I'm pretty sure, just like every other kid, Rainbow is his favorite because, in theory, you assume it has more juice than the other flavors.  At least that's why it was MY fave as a kid!  :)

Jay gets something different each time, but it's usually some sort of 'cheesecake' flavored concoction.

Emma's flavors are usually based more on color than flavor, being that she's still not the cleanest eater around.  I went for the cream soda option, thinking it would be a clear color, but I guess Bahama Buck's thinks cream soda should be brown, instead!  Emma didn't really care WHAT color it was.  :)

Now, to Emma's date, Ken....So, my mom has had a Ken and Barbie doll at her house for as long as I can remember.  Emma has never really shown much interest in them, but Emma has this new found love for Ken eversince we took the kids to see Toy Story 3.  She LOVES Ken and refused to leave my mom's house without him.  She also LOVES taking off his Indy 500 racing uniform (NICE!), but we figured Bahama Buck's had a 'no shirt/no shoes/no service' policy, so my mom wrapped him in this raggedy old towel.  :)

Emma + Ken = True Love Forever!

This is what I found when I went to check on Emma before heading to bed that night!  Hopefully, Emma thinks that she and Ken are married!  :)
