while the mamas are away, the babies will play

So last night was our friend Tanya's bachelorette party and we had the preparty at our house which meant that Matt and Makaela needed to be vacate the location. Well, with all the women congregating at our house, all the men took the babies to Brian and Monica's house. In a few phone call updates we found out that the kids were running down hallways that were filled with 50 or so balloons (they were left over from Monica's bday). Oh to be a fly on the wall with screeching kids, hardwood floors, 50 balloons and poker playing dads :-) At one point in the night, Brian looks over to find Brooke, his 10 month old, chowing down on a cookie. Brian turns to the guys and says, "Which one of you %&$#@ gave my daughter a cookie?" The guys all claim innocence until one of them sees Makaela with cookie stains all over her mouth. It only took one night away from mom for Makaela to turn into a peer pressuring cookie pusher.
