A clear case of too much sugar

We were at a party today, and the after effects of the loot bags the kids took home were a bit noticeable.

Nathan gobbled his sugar laden articles at a remarkable pace. Remarkable, especially when you compare this with his ability to eat speedily at lunchtime when his dear mother is in a hurry for nap time. Once he finished his own he managed to convince Melanie not to save any of her candy for tomorrow. After all, it's not as much fun to be a glutton all by yourself!


Melanie obliged without any complaints, only too happy to follow any excuse to gluttony. She was probably already wondered why she'd thought saving the candy for another day was wise. After having consumed it all, she was rather pleased with the results. Her mother, however thought she ought to tone things down a little. There are times when I feel a bit grateful that there is only one girl in the house. Sugar does crazy things to her silly factor.


Even Daniel got a sugar high, but I suspect that he was only pretending.


Matthew, believe it or not, did not like his candies, and handed them out one by one to the rest of us. (Score for me! Usually I have to snitch some from their bags while they're napping and hope they don't notice. Today I was a good mommy.)
