A few weeks ago our fabulous neighbor/HT :) had dropped off a plate of cookies for
our family to enjoy in the evening.

When I came out of my bedroom,
I saw her little body flash down the hallway as if she were hiding something.

There was nothing left but broken pieces of cookies.

"Mommy so good. Try some!"
