Day 188: Snack Attack!

In hopes of snacks lasting longer I spent the day bagging snacks in to portion sizes, and every night I will now set out snacks that they can have for the next day. Once they eat it, it's gone. So they can eat it all at once, or spread it out through the day. We spend so much money in food, and with in a few days a lot of stuff is gone because they over consume, and go way over the serving size. I'm sick of it! Call me mean, I don't care. But most of the time I'm sure they are just bored. Skipping a few snacks won't starve them, but it surely will save our check book. So I'm wondering how long my snack will last, and how this will go. They have quite the choice in snacks! Cookies, fruit snacks, pretzels, goldfish, chips, cereal bars, applesauce, cheese, carrots, muffins that I made, yogurt, smore's mix I made, blueberries, melon, animal crackers with frosting dip, celery & P.B, turkey, and I still have to boil some eggs I think Kwin will like that in his snacks. It took me a few hours to do all this, and get it all organized. I had to move a few things to make room for the snack. I really want to make my closet in to a pantry!!! I told the kids I will be keeping count of all the snacks in my snack drawers, and will know if any is missing. Again, call me mean...tell me something I don't know. Keep rolling you're eyes while your at it. (Just cause I know how pissy people can be, and are..and like to judge people on all sort of stuff now days..like from the snacks I picked, and I know I'm gonna offend someone, always do!) Don't give me the excuse of "they are growing." They get breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and a lot of times dinner gets wasted due to all the snacking through out the day....Simple solution....cut out & portion the snacking.
