Yesterday, my kids and I took a day trip to Boston with one of my oldest and dearest friends and her family. Near the end of our day, the four children in our group were sweaty and tired, and we adults were ready to pay up on our vague bribes for “a treat later.” You know, “Walk like a big girl and you can have a treat later,” or “Eat at least three bites of the $10 chicken fingers you ordered, or you won’t be getting a treat later,” or “No jumping over ancient headstones. Seriously, get off the grass, or no treat for you!”
My brand of parenting is a mix of bribery and threats, and while some may say it’s not the best way to raise humans, we didn’t ruin any national treasures yesterday, and everyone got fro yo.
While we were cooling off and chowing down on frozen treats in a shop on the Freedom Trail, “Let It Go” began blasting out of the speakers. All four kids started singing, and so did one dad who may or may not be married to my friend. I don’t know if it was the sugar blast that perked everyone up, the sweet jams of Elsa shaking off societal expectations, or the air conditioning in the fro yo place, but we bounced out of door with renewed spirits. I can only speak for myself when I say the large coffee and the fresh application of baby powder to my chafing thighs helped, too.
We felt like winners, and now you can, too, thanks to this Frozen giveaway!
Are your kids obsessed with Frozen too? Our kids are all about them, but the toys are next to impossible to find. Luckily, Stephanie from Binkies and Briefcases just so happened to be at Target at the exact same time that they were restocking the shelves and she scored an entire lot of toys from Disney’s Frozen. Yes, she even found an Elsa doll! Now she’s teaming with a group of bloggers to give them away. That’s $120 worth of toys, and we’re giving them all to one lucky winner.
