SCHOOL SHOPPING...NIGHTMARE OR DREAM COME TRUE?

Back to school shopping....nightmare or dream come true?  Krumbs and I just can't decide.  On one hand, it is awesome to buy new things like SNEAKERS!  Check out my new ones in the picture below...AWESOME KICKS, right?  (Red, black, white and lime green...WOW!!)  On the other hand, who wants to stand around in a hot and sticky dressing room during the last days of summer, trying on pair after pair of jeans, just to find one that fits?  UGH!

So you see where I am with this, right?  Yesterday I was living the dream (or surviving the nightmare) ALL DAY LONG!  We went from store to store to store to store....AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!  I tried on tee shirts and shorts, sweaters and sweatshirts, jeans and sweatpants, sneakers and boots--and that was just the start!  After that, I bought backpacks and binders, pens and pencils, rulers and writing paper--all the things I forgot when we went school supply shopping two weeks ago.  Four clothing stores, two department stores, one shoe store, a quick stop for a fruit smoothie and before I knew it, seven hours of my life passed (seven long, awful, hot, cranky hours that I'll never get back) had passed right before my eyes.  UGH and DOUBLE UGH!

You can bet Krumbs and I needed a treat after that horrible mess of a day and Krumbs was prepared!  He visited the Cafe during his long, lonely hours stuck in the house and found a fantastically fun article by Judy Parker called "Mmm...Mmmm, Marshmallows".  What better way to get back into the "Late, Great Life" of summer than with a marshmallow treat?  The article told us how to make "S'mores" and of course, mom and dad let us use the barbecue to make these toasty, after dinner treats.  Marshmallows, graham crackers and chocolate bars, melted into a mad, mushy and terrifically tasty mouth miracle...who could ask for more? 

Actually, we did!  After Krumbs took us to visit the "Mmm...Mmm, Marshmallows" article, we followed the link and found a slew of other exciting recipes. Tonight we are making Marshmallow Fondue, a recipe we found on the Campfire Marshmallow website.  Are you looking for the recipe?  Click here to find it!  Krumbs and I figure we can use fresh fruit as our dippers and then we can pretend the whole dessert is super healthy!!!  (Not so much, but that's okay because it's a treat!)

How about you?  Is back to school shopping a dream or a nightmare?  Let us know how you feel.  Check into Klub Krumbs and talk about it!  And while you're there, let us know if you've tried any of the marshmallow treats!

Ciao, for now!  Check back for more of the fun and fabulous...(or, at least for yesterday, "the terrifically terrifying")!
