When we have a slow morning I take the kids to the playground to have a breakfast picnic. We usually hit up the drive-through Dunkin Donuts on Route 10 for bagels and donuts and an iced decaf caramel latte for Mama. And can we just take a moment to rewind and notice I said a DRIVE THROUGH DUNKIN DONUTS. Perhaps one of the greatest ideas EV-ER. I actually pass 3 Dunkin Donuts just to hit the drive-through one so I don’t have to deal with the hassle of car seats, controlling wild children in busy parking lots and the inevitable public melt-downs in the check-out line that follow after I say “you can have your donut AFTER breakfast IF you eat all of your breakfast.” So we hit the drive through and then head over to the park which is perfect b/c it is still nice and cool and the playground is somewhat shaded at that hour so the slides have not yet reached the too-hot-to-touch scorching temperatures they can reach mid-summer AND everyone is in a great mood because we are outside and Mama didn’t have to cook or do any dishes!! A win for all.
