There must be an old adage with kids that if you do something once be prepared to do it over and over again.

This can be said of me surprising the kids with an afternoon hot chocolate while they were doing their school work.

For the days that followed they requested hot chocolate every day. Of course I obliged because it was a good time for a coffee break for me. My littlest even started using her afternoon break time to prepare it. Not just a powder mix for her - she got out the whisk and made it from scratch.

We even enjoyed the hot cocoa bomb craze this year. We would make a few rounds of them and they were ready to add to warm milk. The ultimate holiday afternoon treat!
