Candy... lots of it!

Too much Halloween Candy! the other day after school I decided to do away with the daily rations (mainly because I couldn't resist sneaking some for myself throughout the day) I figured we'd have candy around the house til' July tempting me! So I told the boys they could eat whatever candy they wanted, any amount! Just to get rid of it. I didn't have the heart to just throw it away! You should have seen the joy in their faces, especially Eli, he is a sugar addict! There were candy wrappers and candy trails and sticky fingers! Gabe was squeeling and literally shaking as he watched the boys with their suckers- he wanted one sooo bad! As you can tell I was in the giving mood, so I handed him a red lollypop just to see what he would do. Well he's no dummy, he shoved it right in his little mouth and of course, loved it! I snapped some pictures and in that short time he became a sticky mess. I came to my senses and realized I would like my sleep instead of dealing with a baby on a sugar high all night! I took the lollypop from him and he yelled in protest, it quickly turned to sobs, and that holding your breath kind of crying!! Guess he really liked it! I am happy to report no more candy around here!!
