By Suburban Wife | Published: May 18, 2008
Ein­stein Bros. Bagels — $17.29 It’s been sev­eral weeks since we made an after-church bagel run so when The Son requested one this morn­ing I said sure.  The kids had got­ten hot and sweaty play­ing ball in the church park­ing lot so I also let them each have a drink — The Son chose a Sprite [...]
