FTF: Breaking the Rules

by Amy on June 4, 2009

finer things friday FTF:  Breaking the Rules

Here are the rules:

  • No unnecessary trips into town.  (“town” in either direction is at least 15 miles)
  • No driving into town for just one thing.
  • Kids in bed by 7:30 (not asleep, just in bed)
  • No pop except for special occasions (like whenever grandma hands it out)

Every once in awhile it’s okay to break the rules. (Aren’t you glad to have permission?!)

Driving 17 miles (one way) to the nearest Sonic… an hour past bedtime… in our jammies… to enjoy FREE Rootbeer Floats? Definitely a Finer Thing!

Indeed! Expeditions such as this one are the ones that make summer special and are things the kids will look forward too.

How fun!! You are right. Sometimes you really do have to break the rules. Great memory made that night, and for a free root beer float!! You did good, Mommy! Amy, have a great weekend.
