Peanut Butter

Last Friday we went out for Family night as usual. Although we attempted to go to Cici's since it was Jack's pick for getting all Smileys at school, but it was WAY too packed. John and I were trying to think of other places to go and for some strange reason Five Guys Burgers popped into my head. John liked it and the kids too so off we went. While sitting and eating Jack discovered that they also had peanuts in the shells. He was watching kids at the table next to us break them open and decided he wanted to try it too. They have little paper trays (they look like french fry trays) that you scoop the peanuts into and bring back to your table. Needless to say Jack had a blast doing this and was fascinated by the peanuts inside the shells. I suggested he try one which was met with a scrunched up face response. I told him that is where peanut butter comes from and that then sounded like a good idea to him. He tried one and was amazed that this little thing no bigger than the top of his finger tasted so good! He proceeded to break a few more peanuts and put them in a ketchup cup and declare them his peanut butter. He wanted to bring them home and carried them with him for the rest of the night. It's so much fun to watch them when they learn new things and then are proud of their new discovery!
