The Cookie Flip Game!

Last Thursday as I sat in the house tired and stressed about all I needed to get completed that night, I heard the laughter of my children roaring.  I look down to see Maggie entertaining Mallory with a game that she invented - the Cookie Flip Game

She took a toy that we love to play with and was flipping the Girl Scout cookie off of it - and they were dying laughing.
So here is our cookie flip game! 
Preparing the cookie to launch
Caden ready to pull the trigger

The cookie lauching through the air!

And the laughter after!
There is nothing better than the laughter of your children. 
You cannot hear it here but it was a beautiful thing.

While I thought I was having a stressful evening, thinking of a friend going through a terrible time, the laughter of my children brought me through and reminded me that everything is okay and that life isn't bad!
Just then I heard the laughter stop, I asked what happened to the cookie flip game and Maggie said, "I ate the cookie!"  So that was it the end of the game. 
Thank you Memaw Connie and Papaw Eddie for this wonderful toy that lead us to our Cookie Flip Game!

There truly is nothing better than the imagination and laughter of my children!
