I try to take the girls to the library once a week (usually on Tuesdays), mostly just to give us something to do. Well, this week they had something new there...a giant jar full of valentines candies. Allison was mezmorized by it. Next to it was a shiny box with a hole in it--and papers to sign your name and guess how many candies were in the jar. Of course, winner takes all, and after explaining this to Allison, she was anxious to put her vote in. I asked her how many she thought were in there. She replied, many times, "there's a LOT!" Finally after counting as high as she could, she came up with her answer: 17. We wrote her guess on the paper and put it in the box, and tried to make our way to the car. Well, aparently I didn't do a very good job of explaining the game to Allison because she became very upset. She thought she got to have the candy after guessing, and when she didn't get the candy, she was not happy. She started crying loudly and two librarians came to make sure she was ok. "Did she get hurt?" they asked. "Nope, she just wants the candy." SO, on the way home we agreed to make some valentine cookies (with PINK frosting of course). The girls seemed to enjoy it (Lauren mostly just ate...cookie dough, frosting, and the baked cookies) and I tried my best to let them just have fun.
