sharing a shamrock shake

One night, as we're prone to do--we splurged and took the girls to McDonalds. Not because that in itself is a splurge, but because we don't do restaurants all that often.

We were on the way to the big Disney on Ice show--and dinner was hitting at a funny time. They weren't really THAT hungry, but we knew we had to get something, and wanted the whole evening to be a treat.

Amara saw the green shamrock shake on a poster and asked for it. I had the server divide it into 2 cups (I've learned that not only do they not even come CLOSE to finishing something that big, but it's too heavy for them to hold with one hand).

So after dinner, the girls got their surprise and LOVED them. I had no idea they would both like it that much! and of course, it was mid March and now we can't get them.  Amara asked for a shake last week at Mc.D and when the chocolate one came, she was notably disappointed.

I guess we're going to be 'those people' who wait for the shamrock shake all year and then enjoy it while we can  :)
