FTF: Breaking the Rules

finer_things_friday

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!

She prefers to wear her ice cream.

Did you get your free float on Wednesday?
