yes those are skittles! the "moment" is really in the story behind the picture. the kids have recently started receiving a weekly allowance, and are fascinated with the idea of having money in their pockets and getting to spend it on whatever they want when we're out (we're talking small change here) but now i don't have to say no to them when they want to spend their quarters on vending machines or packets of gum. here, we were in a store and my youngest was thrilled to spend a quarter on a handful of skittles, which he was excitedly savoring, so long that they melted in his hand. i asked him what he got out of the machine - he opened his hand and with a huge grin on his face displayed his slimy mess of skittles, placed one in his mouth, closed his fist back tightly, and danced off in the store! precious.
