Saturday = Candy Day

Today is Saturday and to most Swedish children Saturday means CANDY DAY!!!  This is how I also grew up.  You don't get to eat candy throughout the week and on Saturday we would use our allowance to go buy candy at the candy store.  On Wednesday two of my mother's friends came to visit and they brought a candy bag each for the kids.  They all had to put their bag on a shelf in the room and have been eyeing those bags for the past few days.  Of course, when they weren't looking I have been sneaking candy out of their bags (!)  I'm actually just being nice, so they don't get a belly ache from eating too much... ;)

This morning they hurried up to have their breakfast before they were allowed to chow down on their sweets... Lovely!
