Healthy kids snack recipes

WELL,it has been a while since I have been able to write.My laptop crashed and so now there is 4 other people Ishare my computer with plus I do my biofeedback therapies on mine as well.So grabbing some computer time is kind of hard.Not to mention life isbusy.This weekend has been very busy to say the least.Ihad my nephew over to spend the night because Little Mister was very sick, and neede a lot of care.He is doing better now,though but he had us worried.He has vasculitis and his chicken pox caused it to flare up.Then Handsome's brother and wife bought a house and needed help moving so we were there all day Saturday packing ,mowing and loading and unloading.The kids were quite bored till loading time and they really did a lot of carrying boxes which really helped save a lot of trips.Princess andBubba had diahrea all day and were glad to go home.Ifelt so bad for them but couldn't do anything about it.We got home at 9:30 and had some dinner.I GAVE THE KIDS SOME PEPTO BISMOL AND SENT THEM TO BED. Handsome was mowing for over three hours and ended up really burnt.Fathers day plans changed as we were going to go to the park ,but he was so sore he did not want to go out in the heat.Ithink he got heat exhaustion so I have been making him and the kids drink lots of water and pedialyte.I took a melon ,bananas and lots of cut up veggies to much on and that was very refreshing too.If you have it available the kids will eat it.Well if your kids are like mine then they like to snack.And actually snacking on the right things is very good for them.It keeps them from getting low blood sugar which is behind a lot of behavioral issues .So here are a few ideas.
