candy thief

i ran upstairs to grab something before me & the boys left the house on friday to go do errands when i heard brandon yell out loud from the downstairs playroom, "mom, come quick!"
me: "what do you want brandon? what's wrong?"
brandon: "bryan's eating chocolates!"
me: wondering what chocolates? the only ones we have are the ones on the kitchen counter which is high up."chocolates?? what??" and i started running downstairs. this is what i saw.....

yep, bryan sure was eating a piece of chocolate! he opened a box we got from christmas that was still in it's see's candy red wrap. bryan found it in the playroom where we left it w/ some other gifts not put away yet. if you look closely, you can see a half eaten piece of chocolate. when i looked at bryan and before i could yell at him, he smiles & rubs his tummy and says, "mmmmmmm...". i immediately proceeded to put all the chocolates back in its paper cups. brandon then asked me, "mommy, can i have a piece now?" i said, "sure" and i popped a piece in for myself too!

brandon did this same exact thing at the same age as bryan. they just love the big nose on chip? dale? anyone know the difference? i think this is dale cause chip has that darker (brown) nose?? let me know.
