Overheard convos in "Life"

We've got a couple of the girls' friends here.  The group is playing "Life".

In the newer version, you spin the wheel to see how many babies you get.

Anna had two kids in her car then spun a "10" which granted her triplets.  Anna slaps her head asking, "What am I gonna do with all these kids?"  Friend says, "If  they all don't fit in your car, you can just leave it out".

Towards the end, I hear them tallying up their bank accounts.
"You can sell your babies for $50k."
"No, you don't sell your husbands.  Or your dog."
 
Anna says in a disappointed tone, "All I have is 950k." The other team has 16.4 million.

Not sure how I could live with "only" 950k.

Secret recipe

Abigail and Anna came up with a creation all on their own.  So I asked them to share the recipe with me so we could have it for next time.  They really wanted to take it to the church potluck the next day but we had nothing to serve it with.

It's like a chocolate peanut butter sauce.

1 scoop chocolate chips
2 globs peanut butter
A little sugar
Spoonful of milk

Mix it all together. Microwave it for 30 seconds. Maybe longer.

It'd be good over ice cream, although we didn't have any on hand the two times they've made it.  So they just are it by the spoonful.  Oh, and don't substitute coffee creamer for the milk of you're out of milk.  It doesn't work.

Results may vary.

Lights, darks, and pudding cups

While pulling out dirty laundry from the hamper to wash, I found a pudding cup.  A new one.  Not half eaten or empty.

This morning, Adalyn woke apologizing that she helped herself to a bowl of cereal after we all went to bed.  So I'm wondering if the pudding cup was her stash for tonight.  Or Alivia was getting into the pantry again.
