Simons don't like Peeps

Easter candy is not my favorite, so I kind of surprised myself today when I picked up a package of Peeps on impulse while checking out at the store. I think Peeps are especially gross, or I guess a better word would be "Blah." What's to like about them? No flavor and way-too-intense sugary taste (probably why kids love them).
I'm not a candy snob--my husband will tell you that I have quite a sweet tooth and won't snub my nose at most any candy that comes my way. Easter candy is just not up to par in my opinion. Anyway, I think what made me pick up the package at the checkout is the fact that Will has been on a restrictive diet as we try to get to the bottom of his eczema (another story for another day). This was one "treat" that he can actually eat. Unfortunately, Will decided that they were "Too Scary" and wouldn't eat them. Jane took a couple bites and then stuck it on the rug. So, it's looking like my dislike of Easter candy may have already been passed down to my offspring.
