Happy Hour

Weston is a lover of the Sonic Powerade Slush.

We all actually have a love affair with the ice at Sonic, but truthfully, who doesn't? Truly, I think we'd participate in Sonic Happy Hour more if we weren't submerging ourselves in a bathtub full of ice cubes at the moment.

No worries. One of us did not succumb to the Urband Legend regarding losing a kidney...it is just so dern hot in Houston right now that no one dares open any doors for fear of even a smidge of cold air escaping the house.

When it was time to pick out birthday gifts for Mr. Weston, I went in search of our very own Slushie Maker. Ah, the possibilities! We could make slushies out of whatever we wanted.

So today, almost a month after his birthday, Fun Laurie showed up and she busted the Slushie Express out of the box and made homemade slushies.

The boys were elated! Weston chose to make his out of Dr. Pepper and JT went safe with Ginger Ale.

Bleck.

I wanted to be more creative and try some fun fruit juice, but alas, it wasn't meant to be. Not my day to pick slushie flavors.

I wish you could see them sitting on the back porch, looking like two old men at Dairy Queen swapping stories and tellin' lies.

Then, of course, they began blowing slushie at each other through their straws.

In an effort to fulfill our educational requirement for the day, I proceeded to offer a lesson about evaporation.

Um, yeah, sure I did...

You NEED a Slushie Express. 28 positive reviews on Amazon.com and more economical than a Magic Bullet.

Just don't try to make queso in it, K?

2 smiling boys can't be wrong, right?
