Who Knew Cheerios were really doughnut seeds?

I had no idea cheerios were doughnut seeds and my kids didn't either until Aunt Elizabeth came to visit. She had a baggy of what looked like cheerios and told Karson and Kambree that if they planted them in the garden the next morning they would grow to be doughnuts. Kambree was so excited, Karson was an unbeliever. Monday night we planted the seeds.....

Tuesday morning just as Elizabeth had said doughnuts, glorious glazed doughnuts, just like the ones you would find at your local walmart, were growing out of the ground.

Elizabeth and Kambree went out to pick them and Karson the unbeliever had now had a change of heart. He couldn't believe it, he immediately turned to me and asked if we could throw cheerios all over the yard so we could have a hundred doughnuts for breakfast tomorow.
Thank you aunt Elizabeth I now have a summer full of finding cheerios wherever there is dirt, and two very disappointed children because lets face it i am not going to do a midnight run to Walmart every time I see a handful of cheerios go out the door.

  1. Wow your blog is beautiful!! and fun to read. That was fun. You should probably just keep some doughnuts on hand from now on.

  2. I don't what your problem is, doughnut seeds grow just fine in Ohio. Your kids are singing the "Grow Doughnuts Grow" song right? It works everytime. I am sure Elizabeth can help if they don't know the words.
