we are going thru a little phase here. (this one among MANY others).
it's smoothie central over here at the likkels. i'm sure like many of you out there, your children get off the bus with these words...."i'm STARVING!! if you don't feed me something SOOOON, i'm going to DIE of starvation!! please FEED me! " as if they hadn't eaten in days. no mention about the fact that a mere 4 hours earlier they had consumed more calories than i do in a 2 day period. boys do that.
they eat.
they eat much.
so i'm a sympathetic mother. i feed them when they are hungry but somedays i feel like they eat because they are bored? or they are stalling on homework?
my children do that.
they like to eat.
i struggle with healthy food for them. i hate to admit this but somedays it's easier to just let them eat something instead of something good for them.
can i hear a 'amen' here?
anyways, the point of this post is to show you how thrilled they were when they walked in last week and i had these pretty little things sitting on the counter.
fruit and yogurt.
'healthy food'.
NOT CHIPS.
NOT COOKIES.
but something somewhat healthy!
oh, maybe i should have omitted the BIG glob of Cool Whip.
nope, i need to ease them into this eating 'health' food......
