I know I haven't finished our holiday recap, but this is just too funny not to share.
We received a care package in the post on Monday- full of Halloween candy!! What wonderful friends we have for thinking of us. It included Candy Corn, Circus Peanuts, and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.
I can remember my grandpa eating circus peanuts when I was really young and I could not stand the smell of them! Many years later, I meet Marc and find out he LOVES circus peanuts. Gag. In fact, he's sitting here right now eating them and trying to make me sick. I decided to look them up online and found this on Wikipedia-
In 1963, General Mills vice president John Holahan inventively discovered that Circus Peanuts shavings yielded a tasty enhancement to his breakfast cereal. General Mills formalized the innovation and created Lucky Charms, the first breakfast cereal to contain marshmallow bits (or "marbits").
If any of you know Marc personally, you know that Lucky Charms are his favorite cereal in the world. It's makes sense now.

I absolutely LOVE Lucky charms and have had to stop myself paying £8 a box for them in Howells. Why they stopped selling them in normal supermarkets is just beyond me!
What's not to love? They're "magically delicious!" I also love Circus Peanuts.
Haha...
Funny facts!!
Mom,is saying "Hi" back!
And she is asking about the baby...
We love you all in Christ!!
That is just too funny!!
What? No way. I love Lucky Charms so much....hate Circus Peanuts with a passion. Must be all in my head!!
I actually knew Marc liked Lucky Charms, because I remember that was one thing he would not let you go generic on in the grocery store. I also knew circus peanuts were a favorite, but I never in a million years head connected the two!! Enjoy your goodies!
I'm with you on the 'GAG'. Ick!
I do love Lucky Charms. However, I must admit that I have never even tried Circus Peanuts because they just look so disgusting to me. But now you have me intrigued. I must try them next time we are in the states!
