Need to get to the market and pick up some snacks before they come over today.

Have a wonderful Sunday!

Oh, I love this!

Our two little folks have a special place in the pantry for snacks. Yeah, the stuff they don’t get to eat at home. This picture is just adorable!

@Cakers3

That reminds me of a sign I have that says, "Unattended children will be given lots of sugar and a free puppy!".

LOL! You can bet that when friends or family visit with their kids, they watch 'em!

The last thing they want to do is deal with their kids on a sugar high OR house train a puppy!

Funny... I saw a sign that said...”Unattended children will receive a free espresso and a

kitten”.

@Cakers3 that really hit the spot and made me laugh. As soon as my grands get to my house, they head for the pantry and the refrigerator.

When they leave to go home, they seem to always have something in their pockets. My grandson who is 10 took a jar of Nutella home once.

My daughter found a sign for me that says "What Happens at Mimi's stays at Mimi's - love it.

Unfortunately my little ones don't get to visit much as they are 700 miles away. We do try and go up as often as we can and load the car with snacks - some healthy, some not!

that sure is the right photo. we had our grandson for a couple days this past weekend (he is 5 yrs old). mom said to give him something light to eat before leaving. he finished off, snack pack (grapes,cheese,apples), lunchable pizza snack, cottage cheese -2oz size. plus drink and small dessert. he can put away food. he burns it off in a matter of a couple hours. he was hungry and being grandma, i can't say NO.

One of my grands age 5 only wants sweets. Ever. The only healthy food she will eat is my homemade vegetable soup. She has been loving it since she was 18 months old...especially the Lima beans....now her little sister who is 15 months loves it....followed by ice cream of course! I always have something in my purse for them to find to eat...right now it is snack size m&ms and cupcake-flavored goldfish crackers

Our son lives at South Lake Tahoe and we go to the red hut sometimes for breakfast when we visit. The sign always makes my day.

We didn't have a lot of sweets as a child. I remember my grandmother would have a glass jar in the den with See's marshmints. We would sneak in there, put them in our undies and run to the bathroom to feast.
