Sugar Booger.

Well, we had quite the experience last night.

Remember when I learned the hard way about leaving Sassy briefly unattended in my bedroom?

Well, we got slapped with another little lesson last night.

Tyler was unable to view our awesome family picture previews from Unruh Photography at work. He's been so busy with work, overtime, and side-work that I felt as though I literally needed to nail him to my office chair and force him to look at our photos so that I could order them before next year.

While we were in my office, Sassy and Tink were playing adjacent to us in the basement, but we did not have the gate closed to the upstairs like we normally would have. And, since we were focused on viewing the pictures on the screen, suffice it to say we weren't paying 100% 10% attention to what the girls were up to...

After a few minutes, Sassy barrels into the office and yells, "{Tink} is in my bedroom eating the pooper candy!!"

Let me back up a minute. My mother, bless her strange, strange soul, had the gumption to buy Sassy a version of this. Then, when she quickly ran out of disgusting poop candy, my Mom purchased her a giant 3 lb. package of white nerds to go into the dispenser. Joy. It's a very rare occasion that the girls even get candy period, let alone at their disposal. NOT!

So, we took reign over said candy and had it secretly housed on the open counter top in the kitchen...

Back to the basement scene...

So, we jumped up and ran upstairs to find Tink shoveling handfuls of nerds into her mouth. God knows how much she had already eaten. What are you going to do? We told her that she always has to ask Mommy or Daddy before she eats any candy, and we proceeded with our evening...

We put Tink to bed at bedtime and took Sassy with us to grocery shop for the week. We returned home at about 9:30, and walked in the house to find my Mom with an evil look on her face and Tink running in circles around the front room.

Apparently, the sugar got the best of her.

She's always been a bit sensitive to the effects of sugar, but I never...

Girl was crazy. For hours. Through Sassy's bedtime routine. Through putting groceries away. For ever and ever and ever. {Or so it seemed}...

Needless to say, last night was not a very restful one. And, guess what? Tink was still up bright and early this morning.

Let it be a lesson to you all.
