Melt Down and Candy

Yesterday, Lily had a little melt down. I'm starting to notice she doesn't have those "I'm a little kid, throw a tantrum" type melt downs, but more of a "someday I'm going to be a teenage girl so I'm just practicing now" type melt downs. She was upset because she got hurt. Her grandparents were here and when she finally felt like seeing them they had to leave which caused her to be more upset. Neither thing was a big deal, but those pre-teen moods were just too much for this seven year old. So in retaliation, she made this sign, posted it on her door and hid in her room.
(No one's allowed unless Lily wants you to come in. Why? Because sometimes I get mad. Yes:Lily. No:anyone.)

Then today, after his preschool Halloween party, Jeff decided to just help himself to as much candy as he could eat at one time. when I looked and saw this I asked him how he was going to eat the Whoppers when he already has two suckers in his mouth. Without a word he pulled the suckers out, ate a Whopper then put the suckers back in his mouth. Not long after I found an empty Whoppers wrapper on the floor and a three suckers in Jeff's mouth. It was a very busy day, obviously I wasn't watching him super well. And while I was busily trying to clean up the house and make dinner before the missionaries came over Jeff's sugar high hit it's peak and he fell asleep on the couch. He slept through the whole dinner with the missionaries.

Ah, the joys of children and their mood swings!
