Sneaky, Sneaky....

The other day the kids were sitting at the table eating their lunch while I was across the kitchen folding clothes and doing laundry. I could see them from where I was, but not close enough to see exactly what they were up to. Evidently there was some sneaky business going on at that table. I kept hearing them giggle back and forth, totally cracking up laughing. I think I heard the word accident, so I figured one of them had dropped some food on the floor....no biggie, we'll just clean it up later. Then Hunter stood up in his chair and announced to me that he was "really full, and needed a good job sticker". I knew something was off when he asks for the sticker (I've tried to bribe them a few times to eat certain things with little happy face stickers- which usually could care less about). I walked over to look at his plate, and sure enough, he'd eaten all of his food...not a crumb on the plate, so I gave him a sticker.

Mr. Sneaky a.k.a Hunter

A few minutes later, as I was wiping off the table and their booster chairs, I happened to notice something down one of the side hole of Hunter's booster chair (this TINY hole is where the tray table originally went into, which we no longer use)

Upon further inspection, I find that shoved through that tiny hole was the remains of Hunter's lunch that he had been so proud of eating that he wanted a sticker for it....
Let's see, it looks like his entire sandwich and 1/2 of his baby carrots were just hiding out!

**Note to self: Periodically check underneath booster seats to see what surprise awaits me
