I never buy Happy Meals!!!




Today was an exception. I had Natalie's ears pierced when she was seven months old, they got so infected I took the earrings out and the holes grew back in. (Rachel saw this happen and took hers out, she got pierced at nine months, and has refused to wear earrings since then.) Well, today we were walking through Wal-Mart (I know, I know, Wal-Mart is evil, but way too convenient for me to muster the will to stop going there.) when Nattie saw the jewelry counter where they pierce ears. She insisted she wanted to get her ears pierced, I told her it would hurt. I said "It will feel like getting a shot." She didn't care, she had made up her mind. I let her pick out her earrings, she chose the marquise "diamonds" and we were set. I thought for sure she would change her mind, well, she didn't, okay she did after the first ear was done. Too late now baby! I held her on my lap for the second one. They gave her suckers, one for each ear pierced. Not good enough, she decided she needed a Happy Meal from McDonalds (conveniently located inside Wal-Mart, see what I mean...), so I of course was suckered into buying her one. Nuggets, fries, chocolate milk and some Star Wars junk, pardon, prize. She told me her Happy Meal made her happy, perfect, that's what I was going for. So, here are some pictures of us eating at home, I did not eat McDonalds, it doesn't make ME happy. I took some pictures at the store with my phone, I will have to load them onto the computer and I can post more later. :)

Happy Meals make me a better mom. The kids love them. You should get them more often. It is worth the smiles.

What a Happy time! I think she looks sooo cute with the ear rings.
