Archer Farms Donut Rings from Target (no, really).

Archer Farms Glazed Donut Rings 

Today, while experiencing the luxury that is grocery shopping at Target with three children now that summer is here, my 8 year old BEGGED ME to buy these donuts for her for this blog. I, personally, do not think that they should count for our little project here because they are pre-packaged, but she insisted. So I struck a deal with her that she could get them as long as she wrote the entire blog post about them and used complete sentences. At some point she is going to figure out that this whole thing really is just a tricky way to get her to keep practicing her writing and she will rebel against me with the rage of a bull on fire, but for now she thinks this is fun and agreed to it.

 If I'm being honest, they were better than I expected. Please ignore the God awful mess in the background because its totally not like that all the time or anything.

I wrote a bunch of questions down as suggestions about things she could write about (some of them are questions from the many wonderful comments we have been getting already! thank you!!), and then I went to put a load of laundry in.  Like any typical mom, "putting a load of laundry in" turned into cleaning the cat box, cutting gum out of one child's hair, and killing a nest of ants I found under the chest freezer (drat - I forgot to put that load of laundry in), and when I finally came back to check on her she had typed all the questions out and was answering them withOUT complete sentences as our deal had required. She very firmly insists that the QUESTIONS she typed out are complete sentences and so they count as her having used complete sentences. I argued that all she did was copy MY complete sentence questions, not generate her OWN complete sentences which was sort of the point. She glared at me and added the last sentence you will see below and told me to calm down. 

And THAT in a nutshell, is my life with this child.

 
Review of Archer Farms Glazed Donut Rings by L, age 8: 

how did they look ?  pretty nice.

were they warm or cold?  both. (editor's note: They were room temperature)

how did they taste? DELICIOUS.

Why did you want to try them? they  looked  good.

Do you like hot glazed donuts or cold (room temperature) glazed donuts better? I like them  both the same

How do they compare to other donuts you have tried? they tasted  like  heaven, just like the rest.

i am very glad we tried  them.--- that is complete sentence.



Bottom Line: Thumbs Up from the donut fanatic (the rest of us just thought they were pretty much okay)
