I Gave My Kids Candy Right Before Bedtime

Okay, I'll admit it. Last night before bed, when my kids begged for just one more sweet treat, I gave in and let them have a couple of lollipops. We had leftover Halloween candy from the night before, so there was no shortage of options, which made saying 'no' even harder. And honestly? Watching their faces light up with pure joy over a few pieces of sugar felt almost worth it, despite knowing what would come next, an hour of wild energy that usually doesn't end until they crash into sleep around midnight. My husband just shook his head when he found out this morning and whispered something about 'ruining our lives for the night.' But honestly, who can resist those big eyes asking for one last candy before bed? I'll take my chances with tired mornings.
