The Gluttonous Day After

Everyone knows that candy spoils quickly.  Because of this, the kids and I are doing our best to consume all of the candy as fast as we can.

School is so much more enjoyable now that we take breaks to maintain our sugar rush.  Being in charge, I decide how many pieces we will have.  But the kids know me too well.  They keep the pile of candy in front of me so that I'll cave in and say, "Let's have another piece each!"

These indulgences actually have an academic side affect. My 5 year old has learned that when Mom says 5 pieces and she's eaten 2, then she can have 3 more.  Math like this is so much more fun.

If all goes according to plan, I won't have this candy around for much longer to tempt me.
