Friday nights are pretty laid back at our house. I am borderline comatose after pouring myself into work all week while also trying to keep my family afloat. So, this past Friday night was no different. I was watering my tomato plants in the front floor beds. Really, I was pulling the blasted tomato worms off of one. I need to remember to buy worm killer. The Schwan’s man was driving by and saw me. He knows I am a sucker for a man who delivers food to my front yard.
So, it is really the Schwan’s man fault for what unfolded after his arrival. I stocked up on push ups and bomber pops when I notice the drink mixers. Frozen daiquiris in single serves. I am an impulse buyer, so I bought them. After filling the freezer with sugar laced ice cream products, I went inside to make myself a stiff drink.
As I was making my daiquiri I heard the front door open and the kids race in. I never heard them race back out. But, I did hear the shrieks coming from the front yard about midway through my stiff drink making. As I walked outside with my rum filled cup daiquiri this is what I saw:
Now, Friday night was not a particular hot night. But, rather a more 70 degree night. And my kids were pumping water out of our well at a nice, brisk 56 degrees.
And a freezing five year old. By 8 o’clock they were heading inside!
I blame the Schwan’s man for any freezing that might have occurred.

lol. I'd rather have a daiquiri than get squirted by the hose anyday!
Just wait until they give up on throwing it on each other and turn on you one day…lol!
The title just drew me in…but you didn't answer the burning question. How was the drink?
That is cute. Great pictures. I hope that you enjoyed your Daiquiri.
Happy Monday

It was chilly Friday night! We had a fire in the fire ring and roasted hot dogs and marshmallows! I think you are right, a kid's tolerance to cold water is way higher than ours, especially when we can hold ice in a glass with good stuff mixed in!
I wish summer will extend for like two month maybe with below 90 degrees so more fun we can have. Look at how much fun you kids are having.

Just for the record, the daiquiri was fantastic!
Looks like they had fun. And, a daiquiri sure sounds tasty.
(I hope next week you can get in the pictures, too! That's what Mommy and Me is all about!)
