Oh That Jonah!!!

I wanted the kids to smile and NOT be grumpy for pictures...so I had what I thought at the time was a great idea. I went to McDonald's and ordered two small Sprites. (My thinking here; sugar = energy, energy = not grumpy, not grumpy = smiles) When I got to the window, they gave me two SUPER SIZED sprites. I told the lady my order was wrong, but she asked me if I wanted to take it anyway, since there was a long line behind me and I would not have to pay anything extra. Great deal right??? WRONG!!! Ever heard of too much of a good thing? For children who are rarely allowed to have sugar, a super sized Sprite turns them into screaming hyper maniacs running at break-neck speed. It also produces pictures like this...

Jonah could not sit still for more than 1/2 a second, but boy did he enjoy himself! I on the other hand was ready to pull my hair out...and the worst part is that it was my own doing! Note to self: massive amounts of sugar = misbehaving children.

Yummmm Chocolate

We gave Noah and Jonah a rare treat this evening, double chocolate ice cream. It was so much fun and an even bigger mess! Double chocolate ice cream was probably not the best idea as a Friday night treat for two boys who are rarely allowed to have sugar and never allowed to have caffeine. Nearly three hours after their bedtime and they are both still wide awake. I have learned my lesson!!!
