WiredWhenever I go away for an evening, my husband and girls play. It is somewhat interesting that he keeps the kids up longer when I am away, while I seem to put them to bed earlier so I get some sanity time when I am alone. Last night, I had a rehearsal so it was Hubby and the Girls all night. He kept them up late again, but this time he added a game. Not just any game, but a treasure hunt! The interesting part is that his treasure hunt consisted in a big bag of popcorn with chocolate (treasure) mixed into it.
This game sounds like a lot of fun. Especially with my girls that are way into popcorn and especially love chocolate. This game would ensure a happy time. I however wonder about my husband's timing. He started the game at 7 pm and the chocolate that I mentioned was an entire huge bag of M & M's. They were greedily consumed by the children who then proceeded to bounce off the walls for the next hour. The five year old came down from the chocolate buzz much easier than the two year old. By 8:30, she crashed and fell into a deep and happy sleep.
The two year old needs her own story. You see, I control very carefully the candy intake of my kids. They get it somewhat regularly, but in very small doses. She was so wired that when I returned home at 10:30 pm, she was still dancing and singing on her bed. She was contained in her room, but she was very far from sleep. My husband said that she had been like this all night!
By 11:00 pm, she was coming down a bit from her chocolate induced high, and she just sounded silly. She was sitting up on her bed singing songs that she didn't know the words to, so she interjected her own. I think that we had a Twinkle Twinkle Little Star that had barking and mewing at one point. She sang and sang. I am glad that she had a wonderful time, but it is one more reason to control not only the portions of my children's chocolate intake, but the timing as well. At least we were able to laugh about her till the wee hours of the morning, but it sure makes for a grumpy child today!
