More of Day 14 of My UN-Processed Life! The Kids Come By! March 27, 2014

After the shopping, cleaning, and organizing my kids came by to see my for a few minutes while they were out and about! I went ahead and showed them the new changes! My kids knew that change was coming because I had discussed it with them through out the week at different times, but I am not sure they were prepared for this:

Keep in mind if you had opened my pantry the day before you would have seen an assortment of chips, candy, cookies, granola bars, fruit snacks, and fruit roll ups, just to name a few! My kids opened up the door and immediately wanted to know what had happened to their food and what were they suppose to eat!? I proceeded to tell them about all the great meals I had planned, snacks and even healthy desserts on menu for the week! I can assure you they were not impressed! My daughter Shelby who is 16 was least impressed! She has been eating processed foods for the past 16, almost 17 years of her life and now the junk food is gone! My 7 year old son, Rhett followed her lead, as she complained he repeated it! When they left I knew I had a battle on my hands, this was not going to be easy at all!

Funny story: After my daughter left that night she went around telling everyone that I had thrown away all their food and they had nothing to eat! She also told them that I had thrown away the Oreos she had bought the previous week with her own money! She has a job and drives so she had gone and bought herself a bag of them, they were in the closet and yes I did throw them away! When her and Jacob came by the house the next evening she started up again about me throwing away her Oreos! I proceeded to tell her she should thank me for throwing them away! She started back up and I cut her off and said, "You should be glad I threw them away because last week your brother opened each Oreo and licked the middle and put it back together and put it back in the bag!" I wish I had a picture of her face when I told her that! Not only did I save her from a processed food, I saved her from her brothers germs!
