No Junk Food Challenge

Q:  What happens to a Lenten "No Junk Food Challenge" when you have to prepare for a birthday party by making cakes, frosting, cookies, and candy?

A:  It goes right down the crapper.  In fact, two weeks later we still aren't back on track.  With a birthday party, five high school state basketball games (darn you, concession stand!), and a bout of strep throat for two members of our family (darn you, Sonic shakes!), staying with this challenge would have been nearly impossible.  Well, we are going to get back on track someday...just not today.
