Bedheads and Fruit Snacks

Although my kids are voracious breakfast-eaters, some mornings at the Flanigan house are just not eggs-bacon-and-toast kind of mornings. Sometimes Mom is just in no mood to argue. And at those times, I tell myself that maybe by letting them indulge in {insert ridiculous behavior here}, maybe {insert same ridiculous behavior} will lose its allure. Since these pictures were taken a month ago and I can't remember a morning since when we've had fruit snacks for breakfast, I may have accidentally rationalized myself into a legitimate parenting technique!
