I tried to do photos for the Easter card this morning. I was going to use peeps to get the kids to stay in one place. The candy trick worked quite well with the Valentine’s Day lollipops. Unfortunately, they didn’t like peeps.
Stumble it!

St. Paul hit the nail on the head when he said, To the pure all things are pure, but to the impure nothing is pure (Ti 1:15). It is a tragically impure world that labels the purity of a baby at the breast as "gross." For those with the purity to see it, a nursing mother is one of the most precious, most beautiful, and most holy of all possible images of woman. (source)

Does anyone like Peeps? LOL What about trying to find an Easter sucker, maybe in the shape of an egg, duck or bunny?
February 22nd, 2008 14:07
Well, I think they are gross but they are the first sweet thing F has ever had she didn’t like. In fact, they are one of the few foods - if peeps can really be called food - she doesn’t like. This is a girl who eats SOAP. Peeps taste worse than soap.

Did you let the Peeps get STALE first? They’re no good when they’re fresh and squishy.
February 22nd, 2008 15:14
I’m thinking “Peeps taste worse than soap” should not be their next slogan. Does she eat all soap, or only tasty kind? I do love the photos, anyway.

Finally — something Fiona doesn’t like to eat. It’s snowing again.

I love peeps.
It’s a lonely job. Kind of like being the one person who eats those stupid Circus Peanuts (that would be my aunt B, by the way).

Smart kiddos. Peeps are gross
They look so pretty & tempting though. Evil little tricksey things.
February 22nd, 2008 17:37
what are Peeps ??
the expressions in the photos are a great capture.
February 22nd, 2008 18:26
Thank you for this post. I am having the worst day and this actually made me laugh. Thanks.
February 22nd, 2008 23:42
I make the same face F has on here just THINKING of them. Bleah!
February 23rd, 2008 00:11
HA ha ha ha!
Yeah, I am pretty sure I made a face like that the first time I had them, too. Yuck.
February 23rd, 2008 04:32
Both their expressions are hysterical. Thanks for the delightful pictures.

I love the idea of using peeps for an Easter photo! I’ll have to try this with Zane and see if he likes them or not! Their faces are sooo funny!
February 23rd, 2008 18:03
Brilliant. There’s a Peeps advertisement in there somewhere.

So cute, I love her dress! Go for a super messy Cadberry egg next? We used the plastic eggs with *surprises* inside for my son, it worked quite well last year. (Surprises being one or two jelly beans an egg, or a small car, think matchbox but slightly larger)
February 24th, 2008 11:51
I love peeps, myself…And i *love* F’s expression!!
February 24th, 2008 13:37
Fi’s really got the right mix of disgust and disappointment on her face that shows just how I feel about peeps.
My spouse, however, actually likes the repugnant things. Blech!

(Trish, my husband is from the US, so I can translate - they’re little marshmallow baby chicks, which are sold at Easter. I haven’t seen them here).
Ok, AUS/USA moment over!
I love the expression on her face. “Dang - that looked like it was going to be SO GOOD!”.
February 25th, 2008 20:03
They may not have liked them, but the yuck face was pretty cute. Tell F they taste better roasted.
