    Your a good mom. I never let my children buy from those machines, but that is just because I know they will only play with the item for a whole 10 seconds. The Meatloaf looks yummy. I put a tone of veggies in mine too.

    I hate those vending machines, especially when there's only one thing that kids want inside… and they never get it. Your pictures are great and your girl beautiful :-)

    I love that kind of vending machine…really do. I always buy one for myself if I treat my nephews on a magic bubble. I´m a big kid! ;)
    That place looks so inviting…I´m getting hungry just looking at what they sell…empanadas…veggi chili…mjmmmm.
    And love the doll on the bench. ;)
    Have a wonderful weekend!
