Ice Cream Bar Bandit

I bought some cute ice cream bar minis called Sammies this week. I gave Mabel and Sam one yesterday for lunch. Later, I put them down for a nap. Mabel didn't want to take a nap yesterday so I played with her and finally started to watch cartoons with her. I was so tired that I accidentally fell asleep during the cartoon. When I woke up, Mabel had ice cream bar around her mouth. I thought to myself, "I could have sworn that I washed her face after lunch."

Sam woke up from his nap and they played together while I ran downstairs to change the laundry. When I returned Mabel had an ice cream bar at the kitchen table that she was getting ready to share with Sam. I couldn't believe my eyes. I took the ice cream bar away, wrapped it up and put it away. I began to count how many were left and discovered that one was missing. In the garbage was the wrapper. I asked Mabel if she ate one earlier and she said yes.

This morning after our tea party, I was coaxing Mabel to come downstairs to watch Thomas the Train while I did my morning exercises. I went down and told her to clean up the tea party. I was on the bike for two minutes and she still hadn't come down, so I ran up to check on her. She had put away her tea set, but also had an ice cream bar in her hand. I let her eat it, but made her come down stairs.

After exercising, I went upstairs to freshen up. When I went downstairs to check on them, Mabel and Sam were sitting on the love seat sharing another ice cream bar!!! I have since hid the ice cream bars deep into the freezer in hopes to throw off our little thief. But I have a feeling if she loves ice cream as much as I do, that won't stop her!
