Sour Patch Kids!

Ok, here is a little story...
I love sour patch kids, and well the bag you have to buy at the grocery store isn't very big. I only eat a few sour patch kids at a time, in order to savor them and make them last longer.
Yesterday, at Bible study, we were discussing the selfish things we do and I have to confess the other night I only had like 15 sour patch kids left, and Shane reached his hand over asking for some too...I gave him 5! And asked if I could please have the rest to save for later (after I had eaten the whole rest of the bag myself over the last several days!) I did feel selfish and childish...I can always buy more sour patch kids, and I should have enough self-control to not need a 'fix', and be able to go a few days without them, if that means letting my husband have as many as he wants.
So after Bible study, I went to Wal-Mart (b/c I needed more sour patch kids, among other things, like diapers, etc.) and I happened upon the bag below!


If you can't read the bag...it says it weighs 1.9 lbs!!!

Bella was in heaven with the small of the bag alone (she also loves sour patch kids...but rarely gets one...selfish me again!)
Anyway, I took this picture so you can see how big the bag is relative to Bella.

And look at all that 'sour patch kid goodness' inside!

Anyway, last night I apologized to my husband (he forgave me) and told him he could have as many out of this bag as he wanted and didn't even have to ask!

I will let you know how long this bag lasts us!

Question: How do you eat your sour patch kids?
Shane eats them one at a time, but me on the other hand, have to eat two at a time, each different colors (they just don't taste as good one at a time). My favorite color combo is red and green!

And what would be a Struckman post without a picture of Emma!

So here is our girl!

Hi Katie!

I LOVE sour patch kids way to much, too! I ate them like crazy when I was pregnant with Maverick and now he loves them too. Do you think me eating all of them while pregnant has anything to do with his love for them also?
I love the orange and red ones, Maverick loves the green ones. When I buy a bag, I let Mav have the green ones & I eat the orange and red ones; sometimes together, sometimes not. Neither one of us is too keen on the yellow ones so they are eaten last.
Now I need to go buy some tomorrow after work.
Take care!
