Will a parent please step up?

Hello and Welcome.

Levi visited with Great Grandpa Phil today, who in anticipation of Levi's visit made him a special cookie. The cookie and child combo would normally not be an issue of concern but when given at 7 o'clock at night with bed time just around the corner? This situation was screaming for an adult to step forward and say, "What are you people thinking?" We apparently had no adults among us.

One big chocolate chip cookie, made with all the love and good intentions in the world, in the hands of the most energy efficient vessel alive.

He looks so innocent doesn't he?

Shortly after this 6 inch chocolate chip treasure of 1500 calories was devoured, the fun began. The cats ran away, the laps began and the absent minded parents began to realize what they had allowed to happen.

With the exception of the oldest members of the family who, as you remember provided the source of energy, were able to escape to the serenity of their room and get a full nights sleep, the rest of the household was finally allowed to go to sleep around midnight when the last calorie was exhausted. This all the night before a trip to the zoo.
