My children are nuts!

Walk in the door tonight from teaching carrying a sandwich I picked up on the way home from lessons. Matthew sees the bag and immediately wants french fries (I didn't buy any). I did have a chocolate shake cup in the bag from an earlier treat. I wasn't completely empty. I put the bag on the table. Matthew starts drinking from the cup while it's still in the bag. Allison comes to join us; she wants FF too. She asks for a bit of my sandwich I said sure. I turn to grab a plate and she has pulled my sandwich out of the box and is getting ready to take a bite!

By this time, Matthew has pulled the cup out of the bag and is doing his best to get every last drop out of the cup with teeth clenched tightly on the straw. No one is taking this away from him.

Allison was given a new job this evening. She gets to water the plants. She has a trigger bottle and one sad plant that is her's to water. While Matthew is slurping, she is watering the dirt, the leaves- each leaf on the plant and, being so proud of her accomplishment, has started to move on to other plants as well.

Matthew gives up on the cup. Allison finishes watering and grabs the cup. Matthew grabs the water. She then attempts to get anything that he couldn't from the cup and he attempts to water the saturated plant. Matthew's aim isn't as good and he waters the window, floor, blinds.
