Starbucks
Today Bee and Paddy had another day with no school (they must have the best trained teachers at their school as there always seem to be teacher training days...always). With a babysitter scheduled I took advantage of the situation to spend some one on one time with Bee.
I should also add that Bee has gone away on a little trip with hubby. He asked her a while ago if she fancied flying to Omaha, Nebraska with him....thinking she would say no...as it is a business conference attended by thousands with the infamous old guy Warren Buffett scheduled. Bee however fancied getting one over on her brothers by a flight out of state with dad an educational getaway..although I think she will be sorely disappointed. I think she believed that Mr Buffett himself would be there to welcome her....
So this afternoon we went off and stocked up on things that could help fill her time over the next 24 hours whilst these lectures are going on...a new book, a new journal and some wool/yarn as finger knitting is the latest craze in 4th grade. Also the Nintendo DS made the trip so she should have plenty to do. She is quite independent but I spoke to them tonight after they arrived and she sounded still quite little...I miss her.
We also made a stop at our local Starbucks for snacks....and Bee went for this:
together with a Strawberry lemonade. She was digging down, really just eating the granola part and then she started to dig into the yoghurt and said; "I think we should take this back and complain." I thought that maybe it had been refrigerated too cold and that the yoghurt was frozen as it did seem to have a bit of a film on it.....
however it turned out that the granola is actually stored in a separate see through container that sits on top of the yoghurt...hence no spoon being able to reach it until you remove said granola from the container and mix it into the base of the cup.....how we laughed at our stupidity... that we hadn't noticed this and were both ready to go and complain.
And do you see the chair she is sat on?
I commented to her how snazzy they were as this store recently had a refit and it has some swish bits and bobs in it....
Bee then pointed out that she didn't like the chairs much as the leather-like fabric caused a problem when you stood up....to my 10 year old that is. she worked out that the indentation of your bum was visable to all in the dents you left on standing up...and that people had a clear measurement of how big your bottom was given the size of the dents you left behind.
I am not sure i would even have thought of that at her age....doesn't bode well for the future me thinks....
