Maccas

James and I have done pretty well with our kids and Maccas. We would always stop at Maccas when driving up to Hervey Bay for breakfast but we would pack some cereal for the kids to have while James would often have a Maccas breakfast burger. Sometimes I would and sometimes I wouldn't. But for years Maccas was something referred to as a 'breakfast station'. They didn't really know what it could provide for them, and we weren't in a rush to introduce it to them.

With Daniel being 8.5 years, Eliza 6.9 years and Alexander 4.5 years all this changed. We decided to get the kids a Happy Meal and they were so excited. We bundled them up in the car, went through drive through and each kid received a Happy Meal. It was pretty stressful ordering them though because there are now so many options - it's not just a cheeseburger, fries and soft drink anymore. So each kid ordered their own meal. 

They were very excited with their dinner!

Eliza chose the traditional Happy Meal with a cheeseburger, fries and an apple pop top drink.

Alexander chose the healthy option of a chicken wrap with fries and an apple pop top drink.

And Daniel chose nuggets with fries and an apple pop top drink.

Each kid received the same book (which wasn't heaps helpful. It would have been nice to get a variety but oh well). They were excited about that.

So Maccas for dinner was a success, but definitely not something we will regularly do. It's a sometimes thing and I'm proud of the kids for understanding that.
