stylish, hungry, and on a mission

I thought it was cute when Sophie tried on my wedges this morning and was walking down the hall.  What I didn't know was that it was just a warm up...

a quest for a doughnut - warm up 1 a quest for a doughnut - warm ups

I went to use the bathroom and when I came back, this is what I found:

a quest for a doughnut - caught in the act a quest for a doughnut - the crime

She can't reach inside the box just using the stool (or "table" as she calls it) so the little smartie put on my heels to give her the extra height needed to gobble her prize!

a quest for a doughnut - eating the prize

This is what I get for sending Dan to the grocery store... a box of discounted doughnuts and an ingenious daughter motivated by sweets.  I love them all (Dan, Sophie and the sweets)!

What a cute little stinker. I try not to let Adam go to the store because he ALWAYS ends up bringing something unnecessary home (i.e. dougnuts, brownies, twinkies, etc.)

Look out Mom and Dad! That's some serious planning! Maybe you'd better keep that lock on her door until she's 25!

Where there's a will there's a way!!! Austin does the same thing and I just have to sit and wonder where in the world he learns it. They are smart little buggers even at two and a half!!! Mischeviouse is Austin's middle name, looks like Sophie has some of those same genes!!!

Smart girl! She has such an innocent face you would have never guessed what she was really after!

That is what I use my heels for, too! So that I can be just a little bit taller ;) Very smart little chica! I'm glad that you let her have the doughnut.....she needed a reward for that smart thinking!
