Man-go-round and I were lucky enough to score a date with my 3 year old niece today. Although it was 37 degrees the last time I checked (ew), we had our share of fun.
We bundled up with jackets and gloves to find the neighborhood daffodils… (bringing me back to my own childhood while playing “one two three JUMP!”)
We did some coloring, some reading, and some playing with Rapunzel while wearing sunglasses inside and listening to classic rock and toddler tunes. It was an awesome afternoon.
Then, later on, I went to Target and did my best to get into the springtime mood, whatever the weather. New floppy hat ($2.50! get away from my face, sunshine!), and shades…
Pineapple Mango water…
And finally, with the sweet sounds of the Sharks playing the Kings, I lacquered up my nails.
As we sat with my niece having a snack today, and I watched how she ate her fruit snacks, I was reminded of some of my own favorite snacks as a kid. Some of them, I still enjoy. Some of them– not so much.
Baby Meri’s Snack Attack Treats!
“Yummy” (snacks I still like)
-Fruit snacks! (shark bites, gushers, fruit by the foot)
-Lucky Charms (well, the marshmallows)
-S’mores! (by bonfire, by microwave…)
-Puffed Rice (now I like puffed millet, but whatevs)
-Chips Ahoy cookies
-Cheez-its
-Peanut Butter apples
“Yucky” (seem to have outgrown these)
-Hostess Cupcakes (If I never see another one of these… good…)
-Cookie Crisp cereal- gag…
-Doritos (Cool Ranch)
-Lettuce on a Napkin (don’t ask, don’t tell…)
-Better Cheddars (there are so many better crackers)
-Kraft Singles (ick. ick. ick. ick.)
-Ramen noodles. Still ate these faithfully through college. Can’t stomach them now.
-Juice
-Rainbow drinks (yes, with the foil top)
And now, for the highlight of my day, I will reveal the details of the most recent Munch Madness match. See yesterday’s post for an updated bracket!
Pineapples vs. Apples? Pineapple wins! They move on to the next round.
Tonight’s battle is back to the veggies.
Are you team Broccoli or team Onion??? And furthermore, tell me about the kind of treats you ate as a kiddo! Reminisce much?
-Baby Meri (A certain sister of mine will surely appreciate today’s alias)
