It's flavored sweet gelatin, right?<br /><br />For us, "jelly" is the stuff you spread on your bread and butter in the morning, being different from "jam" in that it has no seeds and can be seen through.<br /><br />I was crinkling my brow while reading that your son ate jelly while he had the mumps, as I couldn't imagine eating (our) "jelly" straight from the jar - ew!<br /><br />Now it all makes sense.<br /><br />Well, whatever you call it, it's gorgeous in those glasses!Marchelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11201825708442679157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25059881.post-29686664850173027842009-12-29T20:38:40.118+02:002009-12-29T20:38:40.118+02:00I love your festive table, (Lindt - YUM!) - especi...I love your festive table, (Lindt - YUM!) - especially that huge tree in the backround! I had a similar 'joy' last year with my Wee One doing a double whammy of Chicken Pox and German Measles over the festive season. Hope you have a fabulous time away 'mump' free!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25059881.post-85812250947048934092009-12-29T10:28:32.132+02:002009-12-29T10:28:32.132+02:00He's much better now, thanks for the sympathy ...He's much better now, thanks for the sympathy everyone. And at least now he is immune for life!<br /><br />The glasses are clear, Marcheline, with different colours of jelly in.

It looks magical, whatever it is!<br /><br />Cheers,<br />MMarchelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11201825708442679157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25059881.post-66865189111073114162009-12-28T19:32:44.818+02:002009-12-28T19:32:44.818+02:00Oh dear.

They are probably working on a vaccine against skinned knees here by now :-) Anyway hope the rest of your kids get it over and done with easily and you all enjoy your vacation.Mary Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08923591889426758103noreply@blogger.com
