How did the kids do? They were fine. We went out for dinner and had a yummy chocolate cake for dessert. Our kids are certainly not deprived and get their fair share of candy for our family movie nights each week. Collier did say that everyone was eating candy at school on Thursday…I know he would have loved to have a bunch of candy, but I would not have allowed him to bring it all to school anyway. As a teacher, the day after Halloween was always a hard one--most kids were candy drunk.
My husband and I have always felt it important to limit our children's sugar intake--we value healthy eating habits and moderation.
Have you found honey? Eat only what you need. That you not have it in excess and vomit it. Proverbs 25:16Evan, in the past few weeks, has been more anxious, explosive, and hyperactive--thankfully we have an appointment with his psychiatrist in a few weeks. I am looking forward to hearing what she says in regards to his meds. They don't seem as effective lately--perhaps from a growth spurt? But, it has also been heavy on my heart (and I have shared this my husband) that we try weaning him off of his meds… Now that he is not in school, he does not have to sit in a seat or focus for an extended period. However, he must behave and have self-control. And, the meds have certainly helped with his obsessive behaviors, hyperactivity, anger, and outbursts. For so long our family walked on eggshells. But, so much has changed in our life--that is not to say that his ADHD/ODD/Anxiety will just disappear… We are praying for God's will and protection for our sweet, loving, intelligent little boy.
Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. James 1:2-4
