Fun Finds

The warmer weather has been a very welcome sight here.  We have grilled a few times, which is something we always enjoy, and we have planted flowers and vegetables.  We enjoy being outdoors and with school coming to an end the mother in me has started thinking about snacks and lunches for the boys while they are home with me.  One snack that I enjoy as much as the boys is Super Heroes Popsicles.  (Plus, I can eat two of these a day instead of the ice cream I was guzzling each day--LOL). 

Last summer the boys asked for these every time we went to the store.  Some one had given us a box of the "cheap" popsicles in plastic and I told the boys I wouldn't buy these until they finished the other ones. Needless to say, they never finished them.  The idea of popsicles was fun, but they weren't too excited about the cheap ones!

I was shopping this week while the boys were at school (which allows me time to think and decide what I want/need).  The boys have been asking for popsicles and I saw these in the freezer.  I noticed they are made with fruit juice (unlike the cheap-o ones) and they contain vitamin C.  SOLD!  They taste so much better than the cheap popsicles in plastic and the boys love them.  I like that they are actually GOOD For my boys.  We will go through these pretty quickly but they will be something that is consistently stocked in our freezer this summer.

Oh, I want to mention one other thing, too--for me, not the boys.

When I was a little girl my parents, grandparents, and of course, my brother and I went camping during the summer. We would go several times throughout the summer.  My dad had a boat and it was always a blast--its something I miss some days.   My mother would take us to the candy store before we left on our trip and we would pick out a TON of candy and snacks.  We loved it!  Pixie Stix, Twizzlers, Gum, Sodas, candy bars, and my mom always got a big bag of Jolly Ranchers.  I loved these things.  Well, I was at the store this morning and saw these big bags of Jolly Ranchers and the pregnant woman in me could not resist!  The candies are actually too big for the boys but I will probably go through this bag pretty quickly.  Ha.

These are my fun finds this week.  HA. 

Now, I'm off to make a Spinach Frittata for dinner.  What are YOU having for dinner?
