So, I was trying to think of something fun for the kids to do this summer and I thought about how their favorite thing about a cruise is the endless food. So I decided to give them a "kid's day". A day that they could eat whatever they wanted, whenever they wanted. I would not say a word. And they could not say a word if they got a stomach ache. Then I added that we would go to the store and let them each pick 5 things to have on hand for that day. From left to right: Jared, Carter and Claire. It was funny to see what they picked. Cheetos Puffs-I never buy them because they are so messy-Claire loves them. Lucky Charms-I don't buy sugary cereal, or pop tarts for that matter. I buy Yorks, but they are mine and I'm stingy about sharing. They really enjoyed going to the store, they got their own cart and shopped by themselves while I bought real food. I would cross their path and they would show me their finds, so excited! They enjoyed their day of feasting. No stomach aches. They were pretty controlled actually.
