Zhu Zhu

The fad toy of the week is the zhu zhu pet and Kyla is determined that she needs about 10 of them. In attempts to make some additional pocket change, I have caught her scouring couch cushions, washing walls and most recently trying to pull out her own teeth. I give her an A+ for creativity.

The Cookie Bet

We spent the afternoon making cookies - and then eating them. At one point I told Kyla to slow down on the eating or she was going to be sick. "Mom, I bet you I can eat a zillion cookies and never get sick."

I won this bet. Unfortunately my victory was short lived because I spent the rest of the evening trying to get the smell of cookie puke out of the hall carpet.
