Big. Fat. Donuts.

Today, to wrap up my week with Jesse, Max, Dylan and Emma,

before Mom and Dad got back from their big adventure in London,

I took the kids to Gourdough's.

For those unfamiliar with Austin cuisine,

Gourdough's is a part of the ever-growing, super hip,

"trailer food" industry in down-town Austin.

For some reason, we Austinites love the individuality and Austin "weirdness"

that comes from eating cool food from a cart or trailer.

Well Gourdough's is no exception when it comes to weird;

it's all about "Big. Fat. Donuts."

Huge donuts.

Slathered with lots of chocolate, ice cream, cookie bits, cake batter, icing, etc...

There's even one that has bacon on it.

When I told my brothers and sister about it, they wanted in.

They didn't quite think they could handle the donut with bacon on it,

but they had to go.

I think D-bob was especially excited.

(waiting impatiently.)

Dying in 99 degree weather...

but we still love Austin!

Here's the options.

And after much deliberation,

here's what we chose...

Clockwise from top left:

funky monkey

baby rattler

dirty berry

blackout

Watching them eat the chocolate ones reminded me of the book/movie "Matilda"

where Ms. Trunchbull makes a kid eat a whole chocolate cake.

It was against his will though.

These dudes were enjoying themselves.

(and I didn't make them finish them... we have lots of left-overs!!)

This was the most I could get Dylan to eat all week while my parents were gone.

Best sister ever?

No, probably more like worst! :)

...but maybe favorite

(at least for today...)

Grateful for:

such cool siblings to hang out with all week,

and a little sister who makes her brothers breakfast every morning.

They're just the bestest.
