An evening with sugar and television.

Well, Halloween was a wonderful event for our family with pumpkin waffles for breakfast, pumpkin carving in the afternoon, a long nap (for Emma) before suiting up in our costumes and joining our friends at the party. All the girls in there costumes together was much adorable! We did a little 'treating' after but Emma wanted to head home at a reasonable hour.. ;-) 

The 'tricking' is what I experienced today.. With a little sugary sweets from Halloween and also being treated to probably an hours worth of age appropriate TV programming over the course of a day (thank you Netflix), Emma morphed into a boisterous, unruly, demanding wild child. Can I say holy s*** for the one and only time on my blog? Alright then. I'm still recovering, and she's certainly still reeling from the effects of so much stimulation because bedtime was nightmarish and she's already woken up once in a fit.

So: TV, Sugar... The daddy and I enjoy you in moderation and I like being in control of our relationship but you are just Not Right for our daughter at this time. 

Regards, 

The mommy.
