Yesterday was a pretty busy day for me, and in the evening, I looked back to realize, with dismay, that Lily had eaten cold cereal at three separate meals.
That girl has a sweet tooth problem, which is compounded by my inattentiveness on busy days. And by her ability to finagle treats out of any occasion. (Lily, you ate two pea-sized bites of cauliflower? Have a doughnut! You let the dentist count your two big teeth? Have a sucker! You took off your diaper for the tenth time today, and used the big potty? Have a sleeve of oreos! You didn't cut your hair or stuffed animals or my sheepskin rug? Have a three layer cake!)
Maybe it's just because she's so easygoing, or maybe it's her little dimple on her right cheek, or maybe it's just that I know whose genetic material produced Lily's sweet tooth, but it's hard to resist this cheery little face.
Cupcakes from here: raspberry lemonade, toasted coconut, grasshopper, root beer float

mmmmmmmm. smart girl!
Look at those cupcakes!!! And even better, look at Lily's happy face! Love it!
Straight-up hilariousness, everything you said was (sadly) exactly something I would do/have done/will do with Eden on any given day...our kids so know when we're distracted and boy to they suck every mom-would-never-let-me-do/say/eat-this-if-she-were-paying-attention opportunity out of it! Classic parenthood!
P.S. Did you make those divine looking cupcakes? Oh my word!
When you go for your weekly desserts, you go for the gourmet!. You make the rest of us look like we're eating mush!
Mmmm—a sleeve of oreos. I totally understand that girl. And where on earth did you get those cupcakes?
ha ha ha! but she wasn't the one gorging herself when we made gingerbread houses...Lily is so hilarious!
Or maybe it's because that is the funniest picture of all time. HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So - I totally, like, made sure my kids didn't die today. Do I get a cupcake?
I can relate...sadly. I hope I don't pass along my sweet tooth to my kids! We miss you guys!!!
