It's a mystery

I have been trying to cut down on sweets lately. I finally gave into temptation and thought that I would allow myself one treat since I had been so good lately. I went to the store and bought myself a candy bar and put it in the fridge. I was super excited to eat it today. This morning I was downstairs doing the laundry (the Boy had opted to stay upstairs.) I'll let the pictures tell the rest of the story.

If the dinosaur in the first two pics didn't give away whodunnit, I have included the last two photos for identification.





CAUGHT!!!!!!!!!

Victorious over violence (for now)

I feel that I am not a violent person, and would like to do the best to pass this trait on to my children and teach them that violence is not the answer. I do not allow toy guns in my house. Guns are not toys and should not be used as such. We do not play war games or shooting games.
It is however , important to teach children about guns and why we do not use them in this manner, and I don't mind them playing at other children's houses with guns as long as I can teach them the lesson. I cannot control what toys other children play with.

To my surprise a few days ago, we were at the in-laws and the boy was playing with a couple of action-figures. They were facing each other. As all boys are innately blessed with the gift of amazing sound effects, he was producing some serious blow-up sound effects and some that definitely sounded like the shooting of a gun. One of the action-figures was then knocked down by a pudgy little hand. Thinking that this would be a great time to teach a lesson, I asked what was happening.

"Well mommy, this guy just got squirted."

Lesson over.
Victorious. (for now)
