Lollipop, Lollipop...

For those of you who grew up near me, do you remember the 25 cent lollipops they had at the swimming pool in Tyke? I LOVE them! Still do. Anyway, they sell them up at the local mom and pop grocer here. I picked up a few the other day. Matthew caught sight of me eating one and was a little enthralled. So I let him have one. Let's just say he enjoyed it. Drool and more drool!

Taking a swipe at the camera...

Enjoying his sucker with Madie, she loves them too. Notice the burp cloth strategicly placed!

This is good Mom!

I don't know if you can see it, but the paper stick is completely soaked and bent over. I took it away a short time later...I didn't feel like doing the Heimlich today!
