Maybe...
it is because I'm pregnant.
Maybe it is because the "high" for the days have been below zero.
Maybe it is because I have a toddler to bundle up, shoes, scarf, coat, car seat...
Maybe it is because this is the longest winter I remember with more ice than I have ever cared to experience.
Then again, I decided it doesn't matter- some genious (I'm convinced it was a parent!) invented the drive thru!
Ha! If you would have asked me three years ago how often I used the drive thru - I would have asked "Drive thrus? No way! Get out of the car- get some exercise, save some gas!!!" No really I didn't think that much about it, but it never occured to me what places that I visit on a regular visit had this particular feature. Fast foward to this winter and here is my current prayer: "Dear Lord- could you have created a drive thru at Walmart during last night?" Seriously! With Belle all bundled up and not liking to walk on the ice- I am carrying her across the ice and in the wind with both of us arriving out of breath and most likely to catch our death of a cold. Only to run in for one item and then start all over again trapsing outside and braving the weather. The only way I'm suriving is I know that spring is around the corner... I wonder if they have a Facebook countdown for that! Ha! Anyway, what a wonderful blessing to have a few places that we visit have a drive thu. Maybe I don't get as much excercise, maybe it takes a little longer waiting in line with the other 20 cars and maybe I've used more gas during those moments than I would like to think- HOWEVER- I don't have a cold as of today and Belle has learned what "patience" means. ;)
Ps. As I was getting ready the other morning, Belle walked up to the wall in our hallway upstairs and said, "Large turtle mocha please.....THANKS!" and walked away! :)

Abrianna likes going to her play kitchen and ordering a Decaf French Vanilla Breve.
