It’s snowing puffed rice
Right after the boys were born I salvaged a plastic riding truck from the dumpster, thinking that in what seemed like several eons, the boys might like to play with it. Their first year did, indeed, last several eons. I just pulled it out. There’s a reason it was in the dumpster: it doesn’t work properly. The wheels are messed up and instead of being able to push with your feet and ride, you have to basically walk it everywhere.
No matter. Jonah is obsessed with it.

He crawls over, gets on, walks it in the living room, kitchen, bathrooms, on the carpet and rugs, and uses it to climb onto the couch. Benjamin is not allowed to come within a radius of two feet of the truck. Although when Jonah crashes, Benjamin is permitted to assist with the repairs.
So Benjamin got bored and decided to help himself to a snack.

He climbed up the stroller, opened the ziplock bag (??) and….. puffed rice all over creation.
