Double Bacon Burger

Parenting moments like these break my heart into a million pieces.

In a moment of weakness (okay I had 4 miles to talk myself out of it and didn't) Ella, Sadie and I pulled into a Steak n Shake drive thru for lunch today. When hunger hits it hits hard. And Ella was "sooooo hungry"-whats a mom to do.

They are very polite at Steak n Shake and told me to order whenever I was ready. So we took our time reading the menu. Ella's booster is directly behind my seat and since she is a reader now I let her look over the menu. After a few minutes I slowly ordered my hamburger and looked at Ella next. I'll have a DOUBLE BACON BURGER she said! My heart. The epitome of a RT moment.

Now obviously a 5 year old should not eat 2 beef patties with bacon on top, but there was no way I could say no!! The way home we talked about how Daddy would be proud-and he was. She didn't finish it, but I'd say she ate most.

She is just a sweet girl who can read who wanted the double bacon burger!

how did the burger treat her that night? Did her stomach take it well?
