For the Love of PB & J

To say my kids are addicted to Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwiches wouldn't be an exaggeration. It's been their lunch of choice nearly every day since they strung the three words together. About a few months ago honey entered the love affair and we would alternate, one day having PB and jelly and the next having PB & Honey. The boys couldn't have been happier. Then one day it happened...I'm not sure how, but we ran out of peanut butter! And I dreaded telling the boys! The first day I was able to keep it under wraps by offering grilled cheese sandwiches, which they accepted happily. The next day I had to fess up, there was no getting around it. They were bummed for sure so we had to get creative. We tried fusing the two remaining items together and had jelly and honey sandwiches. The boys said they were ok, but it was nothing like their beloved PB&J. That night while they slept, I made a run to the store and restocked our supply!  I was never so excited to make them lunch the next day. The way their faces lit up at the sight of their sandwiches was almost silly, but I sure felt like I'd regained Best Mom Ever status. (Mom and I also picked up 4 huge containers of peanut butter at Costco that next weekend. So we should be set for a while. Gotta make sure this incident doesn't repeat itself).

Here are the happy children:
