It's Easter AKA Free Chocolate!

Its Easter and that means your kids get a LOT of candy, but you don't want your kids to eat all that sugar. It just wouldn't be healthy for them to eat all that....I better help them out! 

Happy Easter! Its that time of year again when you find your stretchy pants and one size to big sweaters, because the amount of turkey and ham you will consume is going to make you jump a size! I don't know what you guys do for Easter but generally for us it includes large amounts of turkey, ham, potatoes, and so much candy you don't know what to do with it all. Some how your pants feel tighter and you wish you would have brought along your sweat pants for the ride home. There is a upside to all this for me. My parents have finally returned from there winter home in California, which means sleep over for my 2 older girls. I don't know about you mom's but only having to put one child to bed is a dream come true. At least when you are use to putting 3 to bed and it becomes more of a assembly line.

In our house bedtime is a big job. It is not so much quite and clam as, screaming, back talk, and saying "But mom i am not tired!" to which i usually reply "I don't care! I am!" The conversation will continue until i win and they suddenly are in bed and asleep. For me i had to girls first and didn't know how easy they where. Until i had my son then bath time become more of a struggle. It is a struggle to wash his hair (he cries and says "NO mom" or "OCH" not sure why lol) or even to just get him into the tub.  Then he relaxes and plays, then it becomes a hard time to getting him out of the bath. At which point he starts screaming again.  Some one once told me that boy's would be easier than girls. I call BullShit!! My son is a bigger whiner than my girls where. Every little thing will set him off and i end up on the cough with a little boy, that whines every time i try to do something. 

Well didn't i just get way off topic! I can't wait for fresh Ham, and Scalp potatoes tomorrow and so much chocolate  that i can't even think straight. People wonder why diets don't work! Food is just to go to not eat! It wouldn't be a holiday if you don't get a big home made meal, and the chocolate is free...to your kids but what they don't know will not hurt them.  It will only make your pants tighter but it should at least it give you satisfaction that your kids are healthy! 

Anyway Enjoy your family time and all that lovely food!.....Have some chocolate for fuck sake!
