A Valentine's Treat

Law school is great and all (who DOESN'T like enclosing themselves in a tiny cubicle for 12 hours a day?!?) but, sometimes, I really miss doing "mom" things.  So when I saw that somebody signed up to bring boxes of raisins as the "healthy snack" for the Valentine's day party tomorrow- not that there is anything wrong with tiny shriveled up fruits that I have never, ever enjoyed on any occasion whatsoever and would never force my children to eat- but when I saw that kids were getting raisins for their Valentine's Day party, well, now, I just couldn't resist.  Let's be honest.  Valentine's day is the day for testing your child's dentist's work and for throwing up the candy in the middle of the night (this is why you don't have the younger siblings you have been praying for for the past three years, cough cough- maybe you should think about that every time you want to eat nine thousand cupcakes and fourteen hundred chocolate hershey kisses in one sitting).  Furthermore, this is why kids don't want to eat "healthy" foods.  Because no person in their right mind says, "Self.  I'm hungry.  Let's have a box of raisins."  But do you know what people DO SAY?  They say, "Self!  I'm starving!  Let's eat something that is pretty and delicious and will make me feel happy and good about my food choices!"  I have never seen a raisin raise their hand when someone has said that.

So.  I present "yogurt on graham cracker in the freezer ice cream sandwiches."  I dare someone to tell me 1/4 a teaspoon of sprinkles are unhealthy.  My mom job of the day is complete.  Ideas on healthy eating saved.
