When cookies attack

There are those times as a parent where you just have to say, "Screw it, I am getting the HUGE cookie for my toddler, I don't care if it's cover it black and white frosting!"
I did just that thing. This is what happened:


It was Daddy's night to give her a bath. Everyone survived.

The Red Velvet Trauma

It was just the girls yesterday so Julia and I went for a very long walk to a park near us. We enjoyed riding on a pony and a whale and some great swim time. On our long walk back home we said we would go home and enjoy one of the red velvet cupcakes that I had picked up that morning at the grocery store.

We arrived home to find the empty container and no sign of the cupcakes and 2 very guilty dogs! After spending time get one dog to puke up the cupcakes unsure of the amount of chocolate we decided to head out to get another treat.

I took Julia to store and let her pick out what ever treat she wanted. She really wanted a “cuk cake” but once she saw the monkey cookie, she was sold.

Grape Stomp

All 3 of us went to a local winery for a grape stomp festival. It was very warm for September, close to 90. We enjoyed our time but struggled to stay cool. We got some apples and made apple crisp.

She was having so much fun she put the strap to her bag around her head, wearing it like a necklace. She also shoved her face into a flier she found in her necklace.

We indulged in some wonderful cookies, rode on the ponies, drank chocolate milk until our bellies ached and even did some bike racing!

Phone home…

I picked up a new hoodie and Jules wanted to try it one. She reminded me of E.T.!
