Sometimes I wonder if God gave me children to make me more creative and let go of my controlling nature. I never would have thought to stick a straw into a 1/4 watermelon and drink the juice. What fun it is to let go and live a little. I know we are just talking about watermelons and straws, but sometimes us Moms say “NO” way too much, me included.
Watermelon Smoothie
Seedless Watermelon (cut into chunks)
Vanilla Yogurt
Sweetener (Sugar or Honey)
Crushed Ice
:: Blend all the ingredients together and enjoy with a straw!

I agree. I feel like all I say sometimes is “no” or “stop that” ……… I need to lighten up just a bit myself.
Yum, yum! Here in Thailand they add sugar water to their watermelon shakes (heat some water on the stove and then add some sugar…put it in the fridge to cool and add it to the blender…and they don’t add yogurt but often add sweetened condensed milk). Any time we eat at the market we get fresh fruit shakes…you can’t beat it and in the heat it tastes even yummier!
I LOVE the innovative minds of your boys!
