S. N. A. C. K. S.

Grace has snack this week at school and the letter of the week is "V". Am I just a crazy person to think that vegetables would be a good snack? I sent a whole bottle of Ranch dressing for pity's sake.

Oh well, we can always have them for dinner.

The other two days are a bit easier with Vanilla wafers and Viking cupcakes. For some reason the thought of inverting savory Bugles into any kind of iced cupcake seems like the perfect food for a bunch of four year olds who are not going to care about the letter thing anyway. (Update: three days later... The cupcakes were a HUGE hit! Carrot cake cupcakes with white icing were very well received but the nacho cheese bugles were probably JUST for decoration.)

Speaking of which, your dad and I had his parents here this last weekend. In order to not cause a riot, we spelled out a few words. Like "gin" and "beer" and....oh, that's right. Your grandparents can understand those....

But we did spell out a few others like "ice cream sandwiches" and "snacks". Your father and I were a bit shocked and more than a bit proud when Grace said, "I know what that spells! S, n, a, c, k, s spells snacks."

We're in trouble.
