do things in 7's or 11's.
do things in 7's or 11's.
#1. 7/11 for slurpees!

That is a great way to spend 7/11!!! So fun. I'm soooo glad your kids finally had Slurpees. You just haven't lived without them! :) I used to make my husband go get them for my at 10pm when we were first married. And he was so nice to do if for me, too! :)
wow, I am jealous of your kids. I want to be your kid. you rate as most awesome mom ever, at least for 7/11 day! :)
I briefly contemplated taking my three along with the kiddo I babysit out for slurpies, but the thought of buckling all those carseats and sugaring up my autistic kid exhausted this poor preggo mommy, so I didn't. good thing my kids can't read your blog and find out what they missed out on. ;)
You are the most creative/fun/amazing mom/friend/woman I know. So cool!!!
7/11 slurpee day! We mark our calendars in the Ramsey home! Luv it!
I gotta admit, I'm still thinking about those pancakes. Didn't you blog about that place before? Oh, it sounds wonderful!
Love 7/11 day. Fun, fun, fun.
