Two boxes within a month!  That's spoiling us!  We have great friends in Japan that know we miss the yummy treats we enjoyed while we were stationed there.  They sent us a very generous variety of candies, cookies, and chips.  The kids shared a few with their friends, just to familiarize them as to why they were so excited to open the box that arrived today.  Their friends thought some of it was strange and not to their liking, but they loved sharing in the excitement.  J1's friend brought it to our attention that Japanese pop-rocks actually pop and crackle a little louder and harder than the ones here in the states. 

I wanted to post a photo of the treats, but I'm having camera issues!  Locating my camera would be great.  I've been using the camera on my BlackBerry, but the quality of the photos are terrible.  My Sony CyberShot is hiding from me.  It's old, tired, and barely hanging on.  Since my Canon EOS Rebel was stolen last summer, I haven't come around to replacing it.  It's not cheap and I'm trying very hard to spend less this year.  We'll see!  I NEED a camera.  My kids are into sports and school activities that I would love to have photos of.  Okay, in two sentences I've talked myself into purchasing a new camera.  Stay tuned for the photo updates!  That was easy.  Maybe I should blog about those shoes I saw at the NEX.  Hahaha...
