Banana Boys

I have banana boys. We love bananas at our house and luckily our local Smith's sell red-band bananas. These are the bananas that are ripening so the store tapes them up to mark & sell them at a discount ($.29 a pound .)

We eat them a lot so when I see those bananas available I buy a bunch of bunches. :) Sometimes I freeze a few but most of the time they're consumed before they turn very bad.

I take the bananas home and I can't even get the kids to wait long enough for me to take a picture, thus the cute little hand in the bottom corner.
Then being the frugal self that I am, I save that great red tape! I carefully take it off the bananas and wrap it around a plastic spoon. We use that tape for art projects and whatever Salem wants it for. He loves to wrap up "presents" (various objects around the house) for Oaklen or Dad to open later that day.

Oaklen knows the sign language for banana and he is always saying banana and doing the sign to try to finagle another banana. I usually limit to two a day just so he can have variety in his diet!
