A Frock and a Frightening Penguin

Which of these two cards makes you laugh harder? I am partial to The Penguin of Death...

HobNobs in My Bed

My sister stepped off the plane bearing gifts of goodness...HobNobs to be precise. And it didn't take Chase long to fall in love with these British cookies. So in love, that he ate them high and ate them low and eventually landed in bed to finish consuming them.

Considering that most three-year olds manage to get some food inside their actual mouth, it is not hard to remember the truth: most of it ends up crumbled. And in this case, crumbled into the bed. So, essentially, Chase created a Cookie Bed without even the slightest intention.

Now, I know it may be argued that crumbs in a bed are the most irritating friends to play hide-and-seek with (you see, they want to play when I want to sleep)...but, I will suggest that a HobNob crumb is of another variety. In fact, a HobNob crumb is the very kind you DO want to consort with.

I'll take cookies in my bed over sand (and I know there are those who could probably sleep in a bed made of sand). And I'll definitely take HobNobs however I can.

April Fool

Last night, I quietly emptied all of the cereal. I filled the Chex box with Legos, the Raisin Bran with marbles, and the Crispix with dried pasta. This morning when I poured the boys their cereal Chase got the giggles and couldn't stop. James just kept staring, confused; he even tasted the dried pasta. But, then I yelled, "April Fool's!" and welcomed the day that is sure to be filled with teasing and tricks.
