Rice krispy treats




We made peanut butter rice krispy treats with chocolate on top last night. The kids were salivating at the thought of eating them. After making them we had to wait an hour for the treats to cool and harden a bit. Cameron and Lilly couldn't bare the wait but I distracted them on the trampoline until it was ready. They each had a large piece and devoured it like it was the last thing on earth to eat and they only had a couple of minutes before everything would be destroyed.

I couldn't help but record the evidence of the disappearing rice kispy treats. I knew that they must be hiding them somewhere because food just couldn't be eaten that fast. Its not possible especially for funny little kids with tiny tummies.

I happened to glance down at Miah and saw her trying to eat several rocks all at the same time. What is happening to my children I thought? How can this be done? I quickly pulled the rocks from her mouth and never was able to recover the disappearing rice krispy treats. Oh well. The world would be not different with out them.
