Caught Cookie-handed


This is our first post on the blog! Yay! It only took us a few years :-). I just wanted to share one of the many hilarious things Samantha does on a regular basis. This was shortly after Christmas. While I was using the restroom (ahem) one morning, Samantha decided she would help herself to some breakfast. She went into the kitchen and pulled down a neighbor treat plate that was up on the island (supposedly out of her reach) and retrieved all three cookies that were left on the plate. When I came out of the bathroom and around the corner to the stairs, this is what I found (the fact that her hair had been in ponytails the night before only added to the perfect picture):
