Beaver Lodges

It all started with the damn beaver lodges, no pun intended :) In one of the darling little magazines the boys get montly was a project to make beaver lodges... a no bake cookie. Well stupid me, I tried it with my boys. Why? I guess I was asking for 2 tantrums and a half hour of misery! A simple project that required minimal listening skills and my boys failed miserably! It ended with me making the damn lodges (again no pun intended) and them both on the floor crying and sreaming because they were "hungry" and needed to do nothing but eat the chocolate and lick the spoon. SIGH! Some days I just think why do I even try! ...oh yea and the screaming fits woke up my 8 month old after only a 30 min nap...is this some kind of sick joke because it isn't funny! :)It is now noon and they have both been put TO BED...not because they were tired but because I was ready for a break. I am quite certain everyone will feel much better after nap time, most of all me. :) It's moments like the one described above that make me fat...why? because when the going gets tough I hide in my pantry and eat chocolate chips :) :) :) HA ! LOL!
