Tantrums and Cookies

Go together.
Too many cookies,
and you'll have one.
Guaranteed.

Sofi and Izzy wanted a lemonade stand.
We had an hour.
No lemonade.
Plenty of cookie baking supplies.
So a cookie stand it was.

Apparently I did a little quality control.



And today I had a two minute tantrum.
Up 1.3 pounds.
What goes up,
must come down.

No more cookie stands with me supervising.

  3. No worries. It does take a bit of time when we are putting in the effort, doesn't it? Sweet pics & sweet memories of that lemonade stand!

  4. Funny! I too thought it was about one of the kiddos having a tantrum over cookies! Not the mom!

  5. Your children are so adorable! I have self made promise to ALWAYS stop at a Lemonade or Cookie stand whenever I come across one. Growing up out in the country the REAL treat was getting a customer....so I delight in making a child's day and memory. Afterall, I remember all 3 of my customers. :)

    Cheers~

  6. If you think about it, a two minute tantrum could burn a lot of calories!!! Maybe you can supervise after all! That is, if the peeps will go for it!

    And I so love the sign. The "Good job" on the bottom of it is precious!

    Have a wonderful weekend.

  7. How cute. My daughter wanted to do a lemonade stand. Dad went and bought all the materials, made it painted it and the craze was over. It is still sitting in the garage.

    I feel for you on the weight thing. I feel like I have been starving myself and still gain weight! Ugh, so not fair!

  10. So glad you have tantrums too! My husband calls me Thumper because I tap my foot when I don't get my way! They are cuties those girls of yours! I never pass a lemonade stand without stopping. I've been to a couple questionable looking stands before so, I just give them money. They love that!
