If you give a Mouse a Cookie

I believe we're all familiar with the well known children's book titled: "If you give a Mouse a Cookie".

Well, I am going to illustrate for you my rendition, that I will call: "If you give a Mom her Neighborhood back".

Enjoy!

If you give a Mom her Neighborhood back, she might just...


take her two favorite girls for a stroller ride. And, bring her camera.


and once this mom has her two favorite girls in the stroller she will 'zoom in' and snap one more close up picture, to show in detail how cute they look bundled up and cuddled together.


and once she has snapped several pictures in various angles while capturing a vast assortment of expressions. This mom will continue strolling down the road and take her two favorite girls to the fun 'blue' park a few blocks away. And, then, this mom will happily help her favorite older girl into the blue tunnel, and run around to the side to peek at her! [and snap her picture.]


and once this mom's favorite older girl gets to the end of the blue tunnel, she will snap a picture that puts a big smile on her face.


and after this mom has situated her favorite baby girl in her reclined stroller (asleep) she will dig in the sand with her favorite older girl.


once this mom and her favorite older girl dig in the sand for the full duration of her favorite older girls attention span, they both pause for a picture together showing their freshly painted toes.


once this mom and her favorite girls get their fill at the park, they head back towards home. Along the way, they find this gigantic tree. And this mom has to pick up her favorite older girl and set her in the tree. Once this mom set her favorite older girl in the tree they admired the width, the height and count the three large off shoots that lead to hundreds of branches that appear to "touch the sky". After this mom helps her favorite older girl down they pick out their favorite stick to carry home.


As this mom wheeled back into the driveway with her two favorite girls, she paused and snapped a picture of her favorite baby girl being as sweet as can be while she enjoyed the stroller, all to herself.

So, If you give a Mom her Neighborhood back, she might just take her two favorite girls for a stroller ride. And, bring her camera.
