krispy kreme

What is there to do on a Saturday afternoon when we have nothing special planned and a handful of free doughnut coupons set to expire on Monday?

Grab the necessary Elmo gear

and head to Bentonville for some Krispy Kremes.

Liam chose a custard-filled, chocolate-glazed little number. Good choice.

But his favorite part was watching the proofing, frying, glazing, cooling process behind the big window. And the hat he got to take home.

We surprised my mom by stopping to visit her at Kirkland's, where she was spending the afternoon working. And then we went on to ooh and ahh at Williams Sonoma.

Liam had a sugar crash in the car for the drive home.
