The NO CANDY challenge


SO, i usually have a huge bowl in my cupboard full of fun size candies. these are usually purchased for super cheap in mass quantities after holidays and rationed throughout the year. i let elise and michelle after lunch and dinner choose which type of sweet they might like. it could be a cookie, a piece of candy, soya ice cream etc.

a friend of mine had challenged her kids to no candy for one whole year! January 1 she posted pictures of two of her four kids who met the challenge and received $1oo for their accomplishment.
i thought this was a great idea. so, last night i challenged both girls to the same challenge. no candy for one year. they could still have cookies, cake, ice cream or other desserts and they can choose two times through out the year to enjoy one piece of fun size candy. michelle automatically said NO. (she is soooo in love with her candy, preferring that to any other type of sweet) elise on the other hand, took the bait and is now on the challenge. i think she just really wants to see if i will give her a $100. and i will if she sticks with it. we'll have to see. i'm excited to do this and i hope she makes it!
