Give me a break!

October 15, 2010
I cheated on my picture today. Cole had a fever all day and wouldn't let me set him down for 10 seconds to even pee. When I did finally get my chance to pee, Pearl snuck herself a little treat... one of Jeff's Kit Kat bars that had been sitting on the counter. She was so proud of herself, shouting to me through the bathroom door, "Mom, I did it! I got a candy that you break. They are my favorite!"

Hmmm. Luckily she countered her sweet fix with about five apples today.

So as I was um, er borrowing a photo of a Kit Kat bar from Wikipedia, I learned some interesting facts about this classic Hersey's treat. Like, did you know it's the #1 selling candy bar in the UK? It's origins extend all the way back to 1911? It was first call "Rowntree's Chocolate Crisp?" And it's made in 17 countries? Of course I skipped over all the nutritional facts...
