If you read this blog regularly, you know about the
kids' love affair with their nutcrackers! They have REALLY been bugging us about trying them out with actual nuts, and yesterday we gave in! Don't you love where Tyler was trying to put the nut first. I'm sure his nutcracker didn't appreciate that in the least. No wonder it wasn't working (check out Ty's frustrated face!)
Anyway, we've now discovered that Nutty and Golfie (the kids named them, not us!) are purely decorative. Golfie took one for the team ... on an almond that was a particularly tough nut to crack (ha)!
Fortunately, Tyler took it well. Had it been Abby's nutcracker, I'm certain there would have been tears. Instead, we just broke out the mallet and cracked a few nuts the less traditional (and much messier) way instead.
Too bad both kids thought they tasted horrible. Anyone have a nutcracker (a real one) they want to bring over and use on this whole basket of nuts I bought?

Funny, Jamie so badly wanted to crack the nuts and eat them at her house too...when she did, she did not like the way they tasted either! Guess they need to come out of a can to taste good! :)
