Rainy Day Fun

A couple of weeks ago it was raining...a lot. Like, everyday. We had just gotten back from somewhere and were getting out of the car and filing into the house when Edward wiggled out of my arms, ran over to one of the many large puddles in our driveway and starting splashing around, displaying the joy that only a child can experience doing such thing. I almost yelled - "Edward - get OUT of there - your feet are going to be soaked!!!" And then I realized, who cares? So he gets wet. We weren't going anywhere right then, so let him be a kid and splash in the puddles.

And so the fun began...
(sorry it's sideways, I couldn't get it to rotate - annoying)




The kids and I had so much fun splashing around and getting absolutely soaked. I'm glad I lightened up for an afternoon and just let my kids be kids. I need to do that more... :)

The sweet tooth strikes again...

I do not like Twizzlers. Like DO NOT LIKE them. I think they are L-A-M-E. I don't care how bad I am craving sugar - Twizzlers are just never going to do it for me. I hate how they are so stiff to chew, and I think the flavor stinks. Yuck.

HOWEVER, Twizzlers are on my "A" list as of Easter, when Lou left these in my basket:

Sweet and Sour Filled Twizzlers. Oh. my. gosh. yum. And I mean SERIOUS YUM!! Oh, my mouth is watering just thinking about eating these. They are soft and chewy, and the filling is extra yummy - even softer, with an awesome sour flavor that is just enough, but not too much.

Just look at those juicy centers - don't they look mouthwatering?! Yes, as you can tell, I am a candy lover...

Seriously, you MUST try these - they are quite possbily my favorite candy right now. The texture has a terrific mouth feel, and the taste is the perfect blend of sweet and tart. You NEED these in your life.

But WARNING: these are seriously addicting, like crack addict addicting, like eat-the-whole-bag-in-one-sitting-addicting (not that I would ever do that...)
