Over the years the boys have renamed some popular snack foods. For example, Ritz crackers are known as circle crackers; sunflower seeds are called baby nuts; Oyster crackers are called stop sign crackers.... I told the boys once that I read somewhere that ginger can help wake-up your brain. So, quite fittingly they renamed Ginger Snaps, Brain Cookies!
The teacher in me gets fed over the summer with our daily schoolwork during Owen's nap. In addition to workbooks we are learning the first grade sight words, keeping journals and lots of reading. Naturally, the boys are so much more alert when they eat 'brain cookies while they work.
