Milk and cookies for breakfast!

No, the twins had 6 Ritz crackers and a half of a pop tart each, plus the usual milk. No fruit Loops or Cheerios (yet.)

Well, at least that's what they were served.

What they ate was one and 1/2 half pop tart in one and all of the Ritz crackers in the other......... The remaining 1/2 pop tart became a bridge for the car one was driving across the table across the remaining Ritz pile.
