For the Love of Peeps

Alright, so we're a little challenged marshmallowy here in Scotland. There are marshmallows, and they actually taste quite nice, but they can't be roasted and they don't have as wide a range of sizes and shapes as we do in the States. Knowning this, my lovely mother figured we probably didn't have Peeps over here so she sent me a couple boxes to share with my small group girls.
They had never seen a Peep before! Can you believe it?! It's just weird. I, personally, can't imagine my life without Peeps (even though I never actually eat them) just because once Easter hits, a small army of Peeps make their decent upon the "Seasonal" asile of every grocery store in the Nation.
So here we are, enjoying our Peep adventure....

Two Peeps facing an imminent death by explosion in the microwave. We were all laughing, but a couple girls did think I was kinda mean for doing this. "It's nearly a chicken!" Martha said. But I was like, "No it's not! It's made out of marshmallow, you silly." Then Rachel argued, "But it has a face!" Hahaha... so special...
Pure awe and amazment as they watch the Peeps expand to the brink of bursting.
All the girls in my small group say, "Thanks, Mum!" for sending the Peeps :o)

LOL! My brain just popped over the plethora of thoughts/comments I could put here.

Way to carry the torch and spread the legend of the Peep Anna!

girls would ask why you would explode a Peep, because they think it's mean.

guys would ask why you wouldn't explode a Peep, because they think it's awesome.

haha, so hillarious! i do have to agree w/ you, that somehow you find yourself missing things that you never really ate before while @ home. peeps would be a perfect example of this! i never really liked them, but you're making me crave them somehow! hehe ohh yes, i can be the queen of exclamation points, i'm told!!!!!!! hehe

I think Peeps and cockroaches are going to be the two things that survive a nuclear holocaust if it ever happens.
