WHO STOLE THE COOKIES FROM THE COOKIE JAR?

Hubby bought me the cutest cookie jar at a flea market this weekend, I think with the expectations it would be filled with cookies by now.  He said every mother of nine ought to have a cookie jar.  Isn’t it adorable?

Look what I found this evening, a snooper……

Alas, no cookies he found……..
