the coffee shop
i like starbucks. okay, i love starbucks. i am not a coffee drinker. i know, tisk, tisk. but, i do enjoy chai. and starbucks, of course, has the best.
i tend to frequent their drive-thru’s vs. dragging 2 or 3 kids in with me. last week when going through the drive-thru, wilbur asked, “do they have food in there?”
me-”yes.”
wilbur-”what kind?”
me-”well, they have cookies and cakes and breads and bagels and doughnuts. sometimes they have sandwiches.”
wilbur-”how do you get it?”
me-”you order it.”
wilbur-”do you have to go in there to get it?”
me-”no, everything they have inside, you can order outside and they will pass it through the window.”
wilbur-”oh, okay.”
me-”would you like to go in there with me sometime so you can see everything that’s in there?”
wilbur-”yes.”
so yesterday morning, we did it. we went into starbucks. we took amelia to school and had mommy and sons time at the coffee shop. i brought along some juice for the boys and ordered doughnuts for them and a chai for me. we picked a table. they picked their seats, and mine too. we said a prayer. they ate. i drank. we all enjoyed.
this is wilbur imitating josh’s ‘one raised eyebrow’ face.
oh, and this morning,the boys were playing with their mcdonald’s playset. wilbur had the headset on and i overheard him say, “you’ll have a grande chai? will that be all?”
mmmmmm….starbucks.

So fun! My kids LOVE Starbucks! Emma, who is 3, frequently says she needs coffee (meaning hot chocolate). Here’s a tip: they sell kid’s hot chocolates or vanilla steamers for like a buck! The only catch is now EVERY time you go through the drive through, they’ll yell “AND 3 KIDS HOT CHOCOLATES!!!” But it’s so fun!!! :)
I also love Starbucks!! Mocha’s are my downfall…your boys are cute and must really listen to their momma :-)
So funny – I too love Starbucks but hate coffee. For some reason the Tazo Awake Tea tastes better when they make it in the store than when I bring the tea bags home. Maybe it’s the cup? Maybe it’s that the water is hotter? Maybe it’s just that it’s a treat:)
