It's the Thought That Counts

Both Mackenzie and Nelson were out having fun tonight so it was just me and the three little guys at home. I decided it would be okay for us to do something a little fun too so at the last minute I called out, "Boys, go get your shoes on!"

"Where are we going Mama?" they chimed in unison.

"McDonalds!"

They jumped around a minute and then disappeared. I scooped up Max, got my purse and called for them but got no answer. I called again but still nothing. Finally on my third try, I heard a faint, "We getting a surprise for you."

Dawson ran into the garage waving his little wallet, a huge smile on his face, and shouted, "I'm paying!" He then pulled out a shiny nickel and handed it to me joyfully.
