As Hubby has to work on weekends too these days (poor Hubby, so tiring!), Saturdays & Sundays are not whole day outings any more (boo-hoo!). So, we tend to go out in the afternoons instead.
After having delicious food at my mum's place, we decided to bring Ayra out for ice cream nearby. Nope, we did not go to Swenson's ... haha! Nope, can't afford it! We went to McDonald's lah! Its more affordable for us.
I realised ... long ago, its not what you eat that matters but the time you spend together that matters more. Sure ice cream at Swenson's is more delicious but its also much much more expensive, something we cannot afford to spend on right now. But a simple cone or hot fudge ice cream is definitely do-able.
At the end of the day, did the kids mind that we went to the neighbourhood fast-food chain to have ice cream? Nope, I dare say they didn't! They would have loved it any other way. Its the time that we spent, having ice cream, having fun, the sheer act of going out for ice cream ... is fun in itself. It doesn't matter that the ice cream cost a dollar or 10 bucks! Besides, Ryan doesn't even like eat ice cream ... haha! But that doesn't stop him from having fun either - he just had a cheeseburger & some fries.
See ... everyone's happy!
This red outfit was a gift from my friend, Saro (she really spoils my boy, she's so nice!). I call it - the treasure map shirt. It was purchased in the USA. (Thanks Auntie Saro!)
Mummy : "Ryan, I can't see your eyes!"
They were waiting for their ice cream.
Ayra wanted to pose ... pose away my dear!
