So I am constantly running around like a crazy woman to the pool, tennis, practices, the store..you name it if I am going I am running out the door to get there. Before I make my quick getaway I find myself in the pantry grabbing hand fulls of this and that for snacks for the boys. About a 2 months ago I was watching the TLC series Jon & Kate plus eight *which I love* and Kate was making dried cereal snack bags for her kids while they traveled to church and a light bulb went off in my head.....So the next time I went to the store I bought all different ingredients to go in my snack bags like fruit loops, teddy grahams, kix, chex, mini marshmallows, small pretzels, gold fish, dried fruit *we loved dried pineapple, yummy*, cheese crackers just basically anything you kind find finger size. When I got home I opened up all the packages and dumped them in a huge ziploc baggie *you know the huge ones they recommend for storage and such* I then mixed it all up and made my own individual baggies for me to grab on the go. I have done this three time *it makes a lot* and I have just loved it! My boys are big snackers especially Landon and whether we are going to church or the pool I have a great snack to bring along and the boys love it because it if different every time so go snack happy!!

Great pool treat idea. Thanks!! Heaven knows we love snacking.
This is a great idea! I love Jon and Kate plus 8. Another tip that I learned from that show is the clip fingernails and toenails into a plastic container. That's much better than having to drag out the vacuum after clipping!!
I did something similar when I nannied for the lacrosse coach at UVa. I usually did a sweet version and a salty one, the kids and I devoured them!
