Why? Because 1) they're amazingly delicious and a perfect summer treat; 2) it's so darn easy to grab one at the McDonald's drive-thru; and 3) I'm pregnant and can do whatever I want in terms of treating myself to chocolatey goodness!
Today was the first real day of summer for us. It was 80º and sunny. It was perfect weather for being outside and perfect Milkshake Weather. So I knew it was time to officially begin The Summer of Chocolate Milkshakes.
And I knew it was high-time our son had his first taste of a chocolate milkshake. I'm actually surprised he hasn't had one so far. I'm slightly embarrassed to admit such a horrendous oversight on my part.
We brought the milkshake back home and sat outside on the deck to enjoy its cool, chocolatey goodness. Caleb took his first sip, smiled, took a second sip, smiled still more, then chugged, chugged, chugged for his third taste. He LOVED it!
When Eli came home we ate dinner on the deck and enjoyed the perfect weather. Eli has been on a rotation the last two weeks which has allowed him to be home every single evening! It's been the most wonderful thing!
And then we played in the yard. We have lots of dandelions since we haven't mowed the grass in awhile. But Caleb loves them. More than anything, he just loves being outside and crawling through the grass.
And I can't resist sharing these photos with anyone who wants to adore our son with us :)
Here's to the Summer of Chocolate Milkshakes!
I'm melting at the sight of these photos!! The Superman shirt is far too adorable on him. Here's to many chocolate milk shakes in the months ahead!
