if you give a moose a muffin.

reading is great. 

usually...but then there are days when you're just trying to get in and out of kroger for say organic whole milk that is on sale for 2/5 bucks.  but when you're heading down the baking aisle to get flour, your kid spots muffin mix and starts to scream, "muffin!  mom, muffin!  moose, mom!  paint!  and muffins moose mom!  ahhh!"

and then, well, then you stand in the aisle begging him to pick out which kind he wants.  prompting him.  telling him he has to choose quickly.  because all of a sudden the aisle is getting more crowded and no one thinks it's cute that he remembers books or muffins or the fact that the moose can paint. 

it took pratt forever to choose between strawberry, chocolate chip and blueberry.  he finally decided on chocolate chip because...well, because the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.  and i honestly believe that ALL things are better with chocolate chips.  the darker the chocolate, the better.  yum. 

so this morning we decided to make the muffins.  and of course, as it always goes, in the end, he really liked the cool whip better than the muffins. 

go figure.  and have wonderful weekends too!

see- i would have began a conversation with you out of the blue if i heard pratt talking about moose & muffin, or a mouse & cookie, a pig & a pancake. that proves you are an awesome mom and have a super cool kid!

you know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams. - dr. seuss
