Mini Sized Snack

For snack one day, Hayden enjoyed some Mini Oreo cookies.

I asked, "Would you like some milk to dunk those cookies?"
"But Mom," he said, "These are just too small to dunk."
"Not so, my son. You just need a smaller cup," I replied.

I scanned the kitchen for a cup small enough
and what should I spy, a medicine cup.


Perfect for dunking those mini Oreo cookies.

Still skeptical, Hayden tried it.

And lo and behold, it worked.
Now a perfect snack, Oreos and milk.
Mini Sized.

Yum!
Have you had your Oreo cookies today?

Ok, we love the mini's, but you sister, are a genius. That would keep my kids busy for at LEAST 30 minutes.

that is so cute, i love it. maybe that would prevent me from eating the entire package of cookies at once. usually my milk glass just lasts forever :)

That's pretty adorable.

I think I could eat twenty million of those little things before they filled me up though...

Nicole said...

I haven't had oreos in a LONG time. Now I must make my husband go out and get me some!!!! If I eat the mini ones the calories don't count, right?

I love it Jen! That's a perfect idea!

Gretchen said...

That is so cute! And you are so smart to make that little milk-dunking-experiment happen. You're just cool like that. Me? I'm a big dull dud.
