Pumpkin oatmeal is da bomb! Now, add the pumpkin along with an envelope of SF hot chocolate mix, and you'll be transformed, I tells ya! At this time of year, you should be able to buy pumpkins in the store and make your own puree. I did this yesterday a.m. - I cut it in half, scooped out the seeds and baked it till tender in a 350-degree oven. It was super-easy to peel once tender, and I used my hand blender to break it down to a puree. It was also <half the cost of the canned pumpkin.
As for sharing dessert with your son with your WAPs (Weekly Allowance Points, as they are currently called), that's another reason why WW rocks the casbah. The new program will continue to push this, if I am understanding it correctly. This makes all the difference between hosting pity parties of deprivation and the empowering feeling that you are in control.
I've done WW with "banking Points" and with an allowance, and if I knew that I was going out on Friday for sushi, I'd feel kinda deprived during the week if I'd have to save up. Having a daily Target plus an allowance is a much easier way to operate. It's the difference between having a vacation fund that allows you a weekend away whenever you find a deal online versus having to finance the same vacation from your current account when you're "living from paycheck-to-paycheck". Same salary, but the different pocket = different impact.
