Every time this year I buy Chocolate. I know being a Diabetic Chocolate can be your worst best friends but I only splurge this time of the year plus, Valentine's Day, Easter and of course Halloween. This year I decided not to go hog wild and buy the whole store out of there collection of different Holiday Chocolates and went with Lindor Milk Chocolate Truffle's. I would have to say they were amazing. I savored the Chocolate ball as long as I could before it melted in my mouth. The hubby and I enjoyed some while we were watching Bad Boys 2 last night after the kids went to bed.
Today I am sad to say my small box of Chocolate Truffles are no more as in all gone. I should have known to hide them but as a mother I didn't think about it until it was way TOO LATE. I can tell my children are up to no good when the house gets quiet. It's a sound of trouble. I decided to take a break after playing Thomas the Tank Engine with the children and decided to check my email while the kids kept on playing. I didn't hear from them in awhile so I decided to see what they were doing in the other room. The daughter was stuffing something that looked like a red box in her play kitchen and asked her what she was doing at that same moment the son turned around with a chocolate goatee. I then proceeded to ask the daughter what they were doing and her hyper self gave me the lowdown.
Here is the low down what happened from a hyper child of 3. She was hungry and saw the red box on the counter so she took it. She wanted to use it for the tea party with the trains. She then opened the box and unwrapped the ball and ate it. She then gave her brother one because he asked for it (mind you our boy doesn't talk yet). She then preceded to tell me she was going to throw the box out but couldn't because the garbage can was under the sink (which is baby locked for good reason) so she put the box in her kitchen for safe keeping and put the wrappers in there too so her brother wouldn't get to them. Good explanation and I asked her why she didn't ask me to get her something to eat because in our house the children don't go and get food themselves and have to ask me or an adult first. Her answer: the box was pretty! yikes!!!
My first thought was to just punish them but how can you really punish children who are strung out on Chocolate? You can't! They ate the rest of the Chocolate which to 30lbs children was a lot of Chocolate. Yes, my 1 and 3 year old are around the same weight..scary I know. The oldest is tall and skinny, the youngest..well he's just big and solid.
I was actually pleased the daughter decided to share with her little brother with the chocolates and she actually listened after I always harp at her to share with her little bro. It's not something I really wanted her to share with her brother with but it's a start. I'm trying to be positive here seeing how my wonderful Chocolate got hijacked by my children and trying to see some good in this child thieving chocolate stealer's incident. I think I was more disappointed my Chocolate is all gone then the children getting into them. I hope they enjoyed them as much as I did. So Sad!!!
Seeing a light side of my disappearing chocolate .....Children and Chocolate are a very different situation. At least my children are happy when they are strung out on chocolate. I like those kind of kids. It was a hoot and now I should have taken a small video of them running around like they had no control but to laugh at every thing. I think my daughter kidnapped my chocolate because she knows it's mine. I am a fickle of sharing my food of any kind and I know how my daughter thinks because I done the same as a child eating the sweets in hiding knowing I will get caught but who cares they were good in the moment.
So be Merry and have a good Holiday Season even when you have chocolate thieves in your house!! Take care, Peace!
