gimmee some candy corn!!!

If you know me really well, then you know that I LOVE candy corn. I think it might even be classified as an addiction. Guess if you are going to have one, that is a safe choice, right? :) I have to have it every fall, Todd always starts buying it for me within the first few days after it hits the shelves. He picks it up at lunch time from the druugstore and fills the dish back up for me. The candy dish stays well stocked throughout the fall with it! ;)

Well, we both dip into it during the day/evening and I guess Lucas has picked up on that because about a week or so ago he started reaching and fussing like he wanted something off of the counter. He had been doing that the last month or so to pick up his little toys, medicine bottles, whatever, but not this time.....he wanted the yellow, orange and white things in the candy dish- and nothing else would do!!! If mommy and daddy could eat them, he could too!

So we caved. Yeah, I did it even after saying throughout pregnancy and after he was born that sugar would not be an option for a long time in this little mans life, HA! So much for that huh? What do I expect with my own addiction to them, not to mention his father's sweet tooth (microwaved M&M's anyone?). So every time Lucas finishes a meal in his highchair (not quite sure why that triggers it) he reaches and begins to "whine". If we try and ignore it he really gets upset, to the point where serious tears are shed and a temper tantrum (baby meltdown)ensues!!! Not a pretty site at all. My boss assures me that when the candy jar is empty Lucas will get over it and move on to something else that he has to have- hopefully something that is not edible. I guess we will see soon how well that works but until then, he gets the candy corn!

So here is a video of our little addict for you to enjoy ;)

And here are some pictures of Todd, Hunter, Bailey, and Lucas ALL enjoying the candy corn. The doggies love it too :) It is a family affair that is for sure!!!

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!!
