Beer, er donut run!!

I went on a donut run this morning.  Yes, you read that right... a donut run.  A donut run that lasted 45 minutes.  No, I don't live far from a donut shop, and yes, we were there within five minutes of leaving the house.  No, there were not any complications that led to what my friends would deam a "stinky crap" kind of moment... but indeed, we were gone, for an insane 45 minutes, getting donuts.  Did I mention, the donuts were for Kaeden?  That could possibly be the 45 minute cause, right?

Yesterday we did a family day and headed to a local children's museum.  After leaving the museum eighteen hours later (three, but I digress) we intended to hit the attached donut shop.  It was closed, since it was Sunday.  Kaeden did NOT forget that he was entitled (hah) to a "doooo nut"  (insert: Kaeden was telling everyone "I want big boy do nuts" yesterday, which left quite a chuckle for most).  He has told me now for over 24 hours (cause he totally talks in his sleep, right?) I want yellow doo nuts mommy!!  So, what's a mom to do?  ....end the  madness, duh.

After we finished the morning "chores" I packed him into his coat and we jumped into the car.  We headed to the local donut shop, where I ordered half a dozen donuts--figuring Joel would enjoy some after school.  I asked for all frosted, some with sprinkles, and explained they were for little kids.  I got the box and showed them to Kaeden as I pulled into a gas station to fill up the car.  Kaeden said he wanted the "yellow" one--but there wasn't a yellow one.  I told him the colors (though he knew them anyhow) and he decided on a pink one.  After pumping gas I asked how his donut was and he said "no like it, different one".  ...I asked which one, frustrated, and he responded "not those".  Hmm?  Okay, so, what kind?  "yellow doo nut balls"  (insert embarrassing laughter here... my boys and their crazy speech issues).

Kaeden, for the record, apparently, does NOT like donuts.  He likes donut HOLES.  Duh mom, "yellow" means the type of cake, not the frosting.  So, off to a SECOND donut shop to get what the prince wants for breakfast... "yellow doo nut balls".

Note: they sell donut holes in smaller portions, and they're crazy affordable.  Ten donut holes--$2.  YAY.  We'll go that route in the future, all the time.  Regular donuts "aka "hole donuts"-per Kaeden, are far more expensive.


Til next time...
