cookies in the milk jug

McKayla: "Mom, you are going to be soooo mad." (This is never good to hear!)
Me: "What did you do?"
Mckayla: "I didn't do anything, but sissy was trying to get cookies and milk."
Me: "So did she spill the milk?"
McKayla: "No. she dropped her cookie in the milk carton."

Just so you know, the milk carton was less than half full.

Me: "Alina, why didn't you get a cup?"
Alina: "The milk jug was too heavy so I couldn't pour it."

I still don't understand how she thought she could dip her cookie in the half empty milk carton. And I really don't understand how she got a piece of cookie that big through the little hole at the top of the milk.

So question: Has anyone else ever had to fish cookie out of a carton of milk? Or do I just have brilliant children?

pumpkins

We finally carved pumpkins this week, the girls have been begging to do so for the past month. We almost didn't get any pumpkins because they were all bad when we went to look for them. The weather has been so cold that all the pumpkins froze then rotted. Luckily Target keeps theirs inside, so we were able to get some. The girls loved scooping out all the goo and picking out a pattern for them.
