After school it seems like most moms show up to pick up their kids with a snack or "treat." The first few days when I showed up empty handed, Dylan asked why all the other kids had a juice box and usually a Kinder chocolate bar or some other pre-packaged (what I'd call a "Little Debbie" in Midwesternese) snack. If left to his own devices, Dylan would be a junk-food junkie and would subsist on candy, Kinder bars and Nutella. He has a massive sweet tooth. He's too young to understand what trick-or-treating is and that he is seriously missing out on that living here (Halloween is fairly "new" here and is not really celebrated at all but happens to coincide with All Saints and the Day of the Dead Catholic holidays so they put up a few random decorations). For his snack, I usually bring a mini pizza from the bakery, but he complains when he looks around and sees all the other kids munching on their Kinder bars. So I was happy when I went into the bakery on Friday and saw they made these Halloween-themed cookies. It was the perfect snack (still sugary but fresh baked and not full of preservatives) especially because he had worn his glow-in-the-dark Halloween shirt to school.
