Gimme some chocolate milk, please!

When I was a little girl {and a big girl}, my most favorite drink other than Mt. Dew was {and is} chocolate milk. As in, I would have a huge glass of it everyday after school. My mom used to buy us Nestle Quik, but when we went to Grandma's house, we got Hershey's Syrup. I grew up associating Hershey's Syrup with Grandma's house ... crazy, but true.

I still do associate it with Grandma's house, actually.

And now that I have my own money, I buy Hershey's Syrup. I spoil myself like that. Ha!

Unfortunately ... or fortunately, I'm not sure which ... I've passed my love of chocolate milk on to my kids. They love it ... LOVE IT. All day long, they are asking for chocolate milk.

For a long time now, Payton has taken it upon herself to get the Hershey's Syrup from the fridge and bring it to us ... that is her way of telling us she wants some chocolate milk ... and she wants it RIGHT THEN. As of late, she also signs "milk please" ... how could we turn that down? For those of you not familiar with sign, she is signing "please" in this picture ... love her!

  4. So funny...Hershey's must be the Grandma Way to make chocolate milk because mine did it too. She had these metal cups that she would give us the chocolate milk in. The cups would get all cold and frosty.YUM! I only buy Hershey's syrup too, and my kids are just as crazy about chocolate milk. Nicholas has to have his warm in a coffee mug with whipped cream and sprinkles every cold morning, here in CA that means 60 degrees. He sits by the fireplace in his little feety pajamas and drinks it from a straw. So cute!! So see, Payton is not that spoiled. Nick is worse, LOL.

  5. I couldn't refuse her anything.. that's why YOU are her momma. She's so darling. If Austin asks us with signs and words.. we cave to him too. It's just so encouraging to see him communicate.

  12. My 5 year old will not drink any other milk but chocolate! We go through roughly 2 gallons of chocolate milk every week. I have tired adding the syrup to white milk, but she won't drink it.
