Summer Break and Our Brains are Nowhere to be Found

Miss Language: *hiccup* I have no idea why I have hiccups.


Miss Dog Lover: Because you love me. Or because you don't eat enough sugar.

I Don't Get Out Enough

Last week we ate out at a chain called King's. I noticed they have introduced a new dessert which was cracking me up, "Frownies" - brownies with an icing frown piped on. 

Now, frownies are kind of funny on their own, but really funny if you also eat at King's local competition, where the specialty kiddie treat is "Smiley Cookies."

But the embarrassing part was when we mentioned it to the waitress and she assured us frownies have been around for at least five years, so apparently it's been at least that long since we've been in a King's. Now, there's something to frown about. 


As a bonus, I took photos. Super Frownie artwork:

More Sugar Need Amongst the Bananalets

Miss Dance is a girl who lobbies for a snack every night after the younger ones are to bed. This is in addition to the snack every night BEFORE the younger ones go to bed.  :-P


Tonight, when I suggested we have bananas for snack, she helped me "clarify what an actual snack is:


S - sugar
N - not fruit or vegetables
A - adequate quantity (that's very important)
C - cookies and cake are good
K - kitchen worthy"


*headed off now to see what will meet her criteria and pass the Mom Test*
