The littles are officially ‘cookie monsters’!!! What kid isn’t, right? Well… these boys are ridiculously addicted to them… kinda like their mama! We’ve been making chocolate chip cookies for an after school treat a lot lately. I’ve been buying the break & bake Pilsbury and/or Toll House, and they never seem to last long in the fridge. Fortunately these cookies are small, because a pack of 24 disappears before they even have time to cool around here. Good thing I have 5 boys, otherwise I would probably eat them all myself. (There’s just something about warm chocolate chip cookies!) Daddy probably has no clue that we make these things, because he’s never seen one.

Aidan…
and the biggest one of all… LUKE…
It’s always the smallest kid that consumes the most sugar… go figure!
Noah & Eli are ‘monsters’ as well, just not as keen on getting their picture taken with cookies. You might also notice Morrie in the background in picture #1, licking his lips. However, this is one delicacy that he’ll receive a good smack on the nose for even attempting to snatch. Luke packs a powerful punch when it comes to his ‘Cu-Keeeee’!
Store-bought cookies will work in a pinch, but everyone prefers the ‘homemade’ ones. In either case, I have to keep the pantry and the fridge ‘locked’. People get in BIG trouble at my house for leaving the fridge and pantry locks off. BIG trouble. It only takes seconds for one of the littles to find this mishap, and then all bets are off. Yogurt cups, produce, milk jugs, frozen pizzas, Diet Cokes, shredded cheeses, leftovers, (etc!)… parade through the house at lightning speed. It creates major chaos trying to get everything safely back in its place, and always results in someone crying… me or them. On more than one occasion the littles have had something they shouldn’t for breakfast… just to keep the peace!
See???
Yes… those are Nutter Butters in Liam’s hand.
Little Monsters!!!

September 6, 2010 at 7:51 pmI love your post. Can I copy and paste? Just yesterday I was calling my 3 boys cookie monsters after they got up from nap and immediately went to the kitchen to help themselves to the cookies that my husband and older son had just made. It was the highlight of their day. I also have to keep the refrigerator and pantry locked! They love food!
