Snack Time

Drew and Gracie typically have a snack at about 10 AM every day -- nothing fancy -- sometimes Cheez-Its or graham crackers or some fruit or yogurt.

One morning last week I was working on writing some thank you notes for Christmas gifts. (I finally got them all done!) I knew it was almost 10:30, a little past snack time, but Drew and Gracie seemed content to sit at the table with me and color while I wrote notes. At least I thought they were content, until Drew climbed down off of his chair, came up to me grinning, and said, "bite!" Uh oh! What did he just take a bite of? I looked into his mouth. Orange crayon. Yummy. It's a good thing crayons are non toxic!

After brushing Drew's teeth to get as much of the orange crayon residue out of his mouth as possible, I fixed him a snack. Poor guy, I guess he was so hungry he had to take matters into his own hands.
