Sugar Fueled Fun....

We had dinner at my mother-in-love and father-in-love's house this evening. We enjoyed pizza and some yummy chocolate cake. This was a real treat for our boys because we haven't allowed them much sugar at all for the past couple of weeks. If you know our boys, you can probably guess why. They have enormous amounts of energy. We decided to try cutting back on sugar to see if it would help calm them down. Believe it or not, it has helped tremendously! So, tonight when they got a taste of that sugary cake, their energy levels sky-rocketed. It only took about 15 minutes and they were climbing all over Bryan like he was a human playground. The laughter and the squealing was almost ear piercing!

Quiet and still for a few moments....

Today I am thankful for fun times with family. Dylan and Evan were having so much sugar fueled fun. Honestly, we all had fun watching them. Its fun to laugh together, even if it is because of wild children running around. I am also grateful that reducing their sugar intake has really helped the boys to have more self control and be a little calmer. I would have never guessed that their diet would affect their behavior but there is definitely a correlation. One evening of this high energy excitement was fun though!
