That’s right.  Oli actually jumped off of the diving board today.  Proclaimed it “wicked fun” and did it again and again.  And much to my delight swam halfway from the board to the side of the pool all by himself.  This is a big day for Oli.  He’s been in swim classes literally all summer.  Start to finish next week.  I am so proud of him and just about jumped up and down right there at the pool.  Good job Oli!!!!!

Max and Tru just finished a week at Planet Granite rock climbing. They loved it and can’t wait to do it again next year. We showed up the first day and Oli wanted to do it too even though he declined when I signed them up months ago. Unfortunately all the classes were full. It would have been so cute to see him climbing. The boys did great though. Made it all the way to the top and everything. I never caught Max climbing so I don’t have any wicked cool pics of him.  Tru is in the orange shirt.

Yes, considering all that’s going on Pop Tarts are a rather silly thing to be blogging out but that’s exactly why I’m doing it.  I love Pop Tarts.  As far as I’m concerned a Pop Tart is good for breakfast or lunch (Or really anytime they pop into my mind.  he he he).  Now I don’t let my kids have Pop Tarts for lunch.  That privilege is reserved solely for me.  I am the main consumer of Pop Tarts in our home.  I don’t feel bad about eating them because they have vitamins sprinkled into the delectably crunchy shell and ooey gooey filling.  I like to toast my Pop Tarts until they are super crunchy and the filling will scald me.  That’s when they are at their best.  Then give me a cold glass of milk and I’m in toaster pastry heaven.

So I have two favorites that I keep stocked in the house and switch back and forth in between.  One is Frosted Chocolate Fudge and the other is Frosted Cherry.  I usually eat the fudge one with milk but I’ve had the Cherry one toasted and crumbled onto ice cream.  Ooh.  I get chills just thinking about it.

OK now.  ’Fess up.  What’s your favorite flavor and your favorite way to eat it?

You know when you’re running around trying to get as much done as possible before you pick up the kids and you get hungry?  What do you eat?  My favorite thing to grab is a Coke and a Snickers.  Got your basic food groups represented for sure.  I was at Safeway the other day and grabbed the best Snickers I have had in my whole life.  I looked at the package and lo and behold it was a Big Bite.  So not only was I eating heathy, I was eating an appropriate portion.  And while we’re on the subject I want to say that I personally think Coke tastes better out of a bottle.  Plastic is fine.  There’s something about the flavor of bottled Coke that just denser and more enjoyable.

Anyway, I want to know what you grab when you’re running around.  It’s OK if it’s actually healthy.  I wont think less of you.  I promise.
