Sneaky sisters!

We've been dealing with some sneakiness lately, mostly instigated and led by the leader of our gaggle of girls, Lily. Most of it is sneaking snacks, treats, taking things in their room or the playroom that are not allowed like markers,etc. We're trying to explain that sneaking is just like lying,etc., the good thing is they're not very good at it yet and we're really hoping that this continues through the teen years OR that they really start tattling on eachother. Tonight, the girls went up to their room rather quietly, closed the door and were very quiet while in their room...always a danger sign. I figured they had snuck stickers in there since I had just told them they could not take their stickers in their room so headed up there to check it out. It didn't take very long after I asked them what they were doing for Lily to say, "We have food under our beds" and out came the box of ritz bitz and graham crackers. Then, after they handed over the evidence, Lily informed me, "That's all the sneaky we have" AAAAAHHHH! Needless to say, they are NOT getting their bedtime snack tonight and got a lecture from Daddy which is always much more effective than mine.
