Sweets FROM my Sweets

Luckily I have never tried smoking. Unfortunately I can't say the same about sugar. I have often wondered at what age my kids will start noticing that mommy eats a good portion of their candy from Christmas, Valentines, Halloween, etc... Last week after the kids were in bed I raided their stash of Valentines candy and came up with a box of Nerds. Carelessly I didn't make sure the evidence made it to the garbage. The next morning Mallory discovered this evidence and was overheard asking Kelly accusingly, "WHAT is this?" To which he replied, "Ask mom." The dirty rat!
The guilt was magnified last night after the rest of the family went to Krispy Kreme while I stayed in bed with a migraine. After eating their hot light specials on site they came home with two chocolate glazed sprinkle donuts. One for mommy and one for the kids to share the next day. By bedtime I was feeling better and ready for my treat. When I asked where it was Kelly revealed that Mallory had asked him to hide the donuts so "Mommy won't eat ours." Oh the shame!
I am however, happy to report that today after lunch I gave the girls their donut and begged only for one tiny bite before they split the rest. That's progress I think!

I feel your shame! I eat more candy than the rest of my family combined and frequently steal the treats that come in the mail from their Grandma's! It's a good thing Kris will be a dentist some day. My boys are picking up bad habits.

I love that Kelly snitched on you!

It's good to know that I'm not the only one that snitches from my kids treat bags! We usually just take all the candy they get and put it in the family candy jar so it seems normal for me to be eating it too, but I'm afraid that won't last forever!

Becky that's too familiar. I would eat ice cream everyday if I could. It will only be a matter of time before Brigham figures it all out.

I think eating our kid's treats is a fitting reward for our labors ;)
I'm sorry you had another migraine- poor thing!

You are so funny. I feel the same about sugar. I've tried to keep it away from Beckett for as long as possible because I don't want him to share the same terrible fate. Your girls are darling. What a cute family.
