Spring Clean: Host an "Ugly Top Night"

Have you seen these cute little juices? They are super cute and very attractive to the kids! My kids noticed them right away in our fridge and could not decide on which they wanted first. They drank them way too fast and immediately asked for more. I wanted to let them have more, but they needed to eat dinner. So I made them wait till the next day. They didn't forget and my 4 year old begged me until I let her have another one the next day. Cuties ...
