What a Health Nut

Today was a lazy day at our house. We went to the home of friends of ours last night, and played until well past our bedtimes. So we've been tired and lazy all day.

Eric went to have lunch with friends, and I managed to keep the laundry moving along, trying to motivate myself to tackle bigger projects. No luck.

At one point, in a fit of motivation, I left the kids home alone to run to the paint store. Theo was reading a book and Ben was in the backyard trying to chip a rock into the shape of an arrowhead. Ben is the only one of us who slept in until 11:00 this morning, so he was clearly more able to be motivated.

Well, all of that rock chipping must have worn him out, because when I got home I found this:

Some of you may not recognize it. Maybe you've never seen one before. It's a chocolate syrup sandwich. That's right. Hershey's chocolate syrup between two pieces of bread.

Hint: Best when you also leave a pool of syrup on the counter.

Even better when you wash the whole thing down with a spoonful of Nutella.

Ah, to be a kid again.
