All attempts I made at "How about cereal? How about eggs? How about yogurt?" were quickly rebuffed in the strongest terms, using an unearthly, growling voice.
As I tried to convince the two year old of the delicious nature of peaches, I began to realize that we are in desperate need of a junk food "detox" before we enter the Halloween to Christmas Candy Marathon. And when I say "We" I mean "all of us"...or at least those of us that are too short to reach the M&Ms.

Day 2 was a nightmare.
Day 3 resembled a hutu uprising.
Day 4 isn't going so well:
Oh well. There's always tomorrow.
I clicked over to your blog from Steph's blog and oh my gosh! I have been dealing with the same little candyholic children at my house. We definitely need detoxing, and I have been trying this week but seem to face sabotage everywhere I turn.

Good luck to both of us!
We try to be somewhat reasonable with the sugar thing...it gets harder when they're old enough to start stashing in their rooms.:} Crazy boys!
