Our kids are obsessed with animals. Like, if we're walking through a parking lot and there is a dog in a car, we have to stop to look at it, and faun over it, and pretend to pet it through the window. Every.single.time. And inevitably the owners always walk up while we're peering through their windows and they're all: "Oh hey, Creepy. Get away from my car."
Awk.ward.
And if an animal wanders into our yard there is much hyperventilating and freaking out and attempts to name it, capture it, and keep it for our own. (Usually sufficiently enough to scare said animals away for life. Sometimes a good thing.)
For the record we do have pets.
Anyways, want to know what's cool?
When your kids chase a cat around your yard one night, except
If you need me, I'll be buying four cases of tomato juice.
Just kidding. My kids are really fast runners. The neighborhood just smells like musky burnt rubber bands that have been decaying for a few years.
Also. Skunk is a weird word.

These cookies are deliciously chewy and kind of addicting. The oatmeal is blended up before adding so you can't detect little oat pieces in these. These also have pecans but you can omit them if you need to.
