I most definitely grew up as a child of the 80's. In addition to the perfectly pegged pant legs, side ponies, and LA gears, one of the crowning icons had to be sucker peddlers on the school bus. If you don't know what I'm talking about, you might want to go talk to Deb about Boondoggles.Yesterday my husband decided it was high time that our children learn the intricacies of sucker making. With hand-me-down molds and enough nostalgia to fill the room, we created more than just blue coconut suckers.

How fun! I love the look on baby's face in the last picture!
That's funny that you did this,not too long ago I went to a cooking store that they have here to buy the supplies and the lady pretty much laughed at me. No one really does that anymore she said so they have never restocked any of it. So I had to go to nuts and things to get some molds and flavorings. My girls had a blast...It is a fun to do with the kids!
What else did you make? Did you take away her sucker and make a little Sissy mad?
And to think I left Bentley's sitting on your counter...
i'm totally laughing right now...i used to do the same thing. We would sell them on the bus for a quarter, or five for a dollar. Once year, my friend and I made almost $400! And by they way, Hudson was an absolute angel in primary...he sat that so proper with his arms folded. He was the cutest little guy...you should be proud!
Hillary and I were JUST talking about when my mom would give us an extra quarter to buy a sucker at school...oh, but the plethora of NOT ONLY sucker flavors, but shapes. So fun!
I love making homemade suckers! They are my fav!

Your blog is so much fun! You have the cutest kids! Cute idea to make the suckers. I will have to try that with Housten. I can't believe what a doll Hudson is in those pictures in his suit- I can't believe I have a sunbeam now too! Housten loved it as well!
Hey Karisa! I *did* provide links for the green beans, marshmallows, pecans, and split-pea soup. The links are just a little hard to see. Run your mouse over the words and they should show up. Sadly, I've lost my sandwich recipe and and am currently tearing my house apart looking for it. Enjoy!
