Clues this is not the REAL Santa

Would have been when his belly (pillow) fell out from under his oversized coat.





Might have been his lack of cheer.

Probably was the sound of his voice when he was asked to start the race.




His darker hair poking out from under his wig.

Santa kneeling at the finish line because his legs were tired.




Where are his reindeer?

His helper (me…mom) speaking firmly to him through a fake clinched smile to do one of the following: Smile for the picture! Stand up! Look Happy! Shake their hand! Be nice! Tie your shoe.

There were more, but I think it is safe to say that being Santa takes a lot more work than just wearing a suite…even if it fit.

She can really sing it....

"All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth!"

Here are some happy feet dancing in excitement because it's almost Christmas time.

Usless Information

Everyday is a learning experience with my kids...here are a few of the things they taught me today.

Did you know that when you have the hiccups you are growing? Per Macey (She is actually worried because she has had them for a long time and she fears she is getting too big!)

Did you know that if you get all the gifts from the twelve days of Christmas you will have 364 presents? Per Gavin

Did you know if you try to chew or play with a glass Christmas bulb it will break? Per Jack

Did you know the dirtiest currency in the world is China's and the least dirtiest is Australia's. Per Gavin

There is twelve in a dozen. Per Macey

There are 31.5 million seconds in a year. Per Gavin

The tip of your elbow is called your wenis. Per Gavin

If you open a bottle of "goo" (aka shampoo)and squeeze once all the scary things will get sucked inside and can't get you. Per Macey

There are 25 days, 3 hours, 0 minutes, 44, 43, 42, 42, 40, etc... seconds until Christmas.... Per Macey

Christmas Tree Makeover

Really, I just need a new tree...or a real tree. Usually we do a real tree...but I decided to make do with what we had this year and put up my ten year old pre-lit tree, it is a sorry mess...



I was also selective. I didn't want ever single hand made decoration from when I was a kid hanging on the tree. I wanted it to all be blue...and that was our only theme.

My mom came over to get Gavin the other day and saw our sorry tree. While out shopping yesterday she made it her mission to fix our charlie brown tree. Now it looks like this...



I couldn't even hang everything she got for us...the tree is starting to bend forward a little.

I bet the kids will call my mom this week after they get their trees up to ask for a makeover too!

Thanks Mom, it does look better!

Deal of the Day!

The best deal I got all day was this beautiful, spunky, engaging, intelligent, blue eyed six year old for the sale price of $129.99



She is priceless!
