The Mother of Geese

The kids were so thrilled when I picked up 250 boxes of Girl Scout cookies ready to be dispersed around the neighborhood. We ordered an additional 118 boxes so the girls could participate in a sale in front of the grocery store in a few weeks. It was driving the kids crazy having all these cookies just sitting in the garage. I told them have to pay to play so they all ponied up the cash and bought (and hoarded) their own boxes of cookies. Max with his trefoils. Amelia with her Samoas. Abbie with her thin mints

Before Stockholm Syndrome fully set in I decided to take the kids out of school for the day to take advantage of the clear skies

I really like looking at these pictures because I can see Max's snaggle tooth. He's getting to be such a big boy!

That tricky leprechaun came again and left chocolate coins and lucky charms.

so sometimes it takes Max's walk home from kindergarten to have me really notice the little things. I would have easily walked right by this worm if it wasn't for him. Such a great reminder to take things slow!

What a better place to enjoy your birthday than delicious Golden Corral? The kids thought they were going to lose their minds when they saw that there was cotton candy.
