These little Andes Mint Filled Cookies are a delicious treat that will help you cope with any and all water disasters that may happen in your life.
There are certain things that happen in our life that drive me to eat more sugar than I really should.
Having to clean up a large "lake" on the clean bathroom floor and a giant "waterfall" in the basement just happens to be one of those things I'm referring to.
Our youngest son decided to fill the tub up to the rim of the tub with water. Then he proceeded to do some sort of "wave action" with his toys. Apparently this is some sort of pokemon move that you would use in an epic battle.
Water went everywhere from the waves crashing over the side of the tub. And of course, the floor is not waterproof so it was also gushing
like a waterfall into the storage room below.
I have now declared our bathroom to be a battle free zone.
Under no circumstance is there to be a Pokemon fight in our tub again! Pokemons swimming is ok. Pokemons battling is most definitely not ok!
One dehumidifier and ten soggy towels later,I felt the need to have some sugar because I was exhausted!
Sugar is obviously a drug of some sorts because it can totally calm any irritation you may be having in a heartbeat! Ok, so it does for me anyway!
Water gushing through my floors...that's ok because I have Andes Mint Filled Cookies to munch on!!!
Go ahead and bake yourself some of these Andes mint filled cookies for when the next panic moment happens in your life!

Yum yum! Sorry about the battle in the tub, but I can totally relate. My little guy loves to create waves in the tub! Good grief.
