Who ate my cookies....?

Mikey and Alyssa were playing upstairs, with  baby Samuel asleep in the next room.  I was working downstairs folding laundry.  Next thing I know Mikey comes running down the stairs.  He had a bit of panic in his voice.  I asked him what was wrong and he told me that he knew who had eaten my cookies.  Eaten my cookies?  I was confused....I didn't have any cookies.  I told him I didn't have any cookies to eat, so it was alright.  "No Mom, I know who ate your cookies....you really need to come and see."

Again....I thought for a minute.   Then all of the sudden I started getting frustrated.  Did someone bring me cookies, and my kids had eaten them.  I started getting mad.  I was really in the mood for something sweet.:)  I was also confused as to why Mikey was in such a panic.  I walked up the stairs for this surprise......

The kids yelled simultaneously while holding Sammy......."cookie monster ate your cookies."  

They had apparently found the Halloween costumes laying around, and decided it would be hilarious if they dressed up Sammy as cookie monster and surprised me.  

It was quite hilarious, and very creative I might add.

This little cookie monster is scrumptious these days.  He has had a few nicknames thus far in his life.  Samuel the Lamanite, and Sammy Whammy are a couple.  The latest is our families personal favorite "Sammy Applesauce."  We have bets on if his eyes stay blue, and for how long.
