Dear Santa...

Dear Santa,

Last year we let you off the hook, and did not bring the kids to see you. This year, you're not so lucky. Now before we get there, there are some things that you need to know, just in case some questions arise. If you stray from the plan, you and I are going to have a small problem.

1. We do not have a chimney, so they all think that you come in the house through the vent in the stove hood. Got it?-good.
2. If I forget to leave cookies and milk, sorry, but you may have to suck it up and grab a granola bar from the pantry.
3. Elves. I dressed Dominic up as one last year, so if he freaks out when he sees them, just let him be- it's my fault and I'll take care of the therapy.
4. Ryan has learned how to umm, how shall I say this, ...fart on demand. Should this occur, I will look at you as if you did it, so play along. Do not laugh, this will only encourage more tooting.
5. Aspen like to try and rip noses off. Make sure to have band-aids on hand as I have had some minor difficulties trying to trim her nails so they may be as long as Elvira's, thus inflicting some pain on your nostril regions.

Ok, I think that covers it.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Wow- I think the kids ate more pumpkin pie than Drew. In fact, I don't think there was anything that they DIDN'T eat. Well, except cranberry sauce, which for some reason got forgotten about in the pantry. Which is fine, because no one eats it here anyway. It kinda just sits on a plate like a wobbly blob of burgandy glop.

Corn Mountain- In honor of Kelli who is currently freezing in Minnesota.

So Ryan- let me tell you about Pilgrims...

I bet Mommy is very thankful for bibs.

How much turkey can I shove in my mouth at one time?

I am very thankful for the sweet potatoes all over my face.

WHAT? I have NO idea how Aspen's bow got in my hand!

I will just play with the dancing reindeer while Dominic gets in trouble.

18 month pics!

The trio turned 18 months old on the 8th! I can't believe how fast time has flown by. We had their pics taken last week.

A very clear signal that picture time is OVER.

Who needs a Q-tip?

When you can just shove STRING CHEESE in your ear! That's the new game Ryan and Dominic are now playing. I had to sit and watch their every move to make sure chicken nor green beans ended up in ear canals. Apparently I missed the string cheese incident. Luckily I caught it in Dominic's ear in the playroom. Good thing it wasn't a green bean. That's all I need is a germentated bean seed in someone's ear and me waking up to the Jolly Green Giant in a crib.

"I can't believe Daddy finally talked Mommy into buying us cartoon pj's!"

(strange butt sniffing chihuahua was not included)

"Let me start practicing for my singing career"

"Nope- I'll read instead"

"What do you mean no more string cheese?"

"Now Mother- you can't possibly believe I put the cheese in my own ear"

The Week in Review...

Otherwise known as.."Could there be anymore drama?"

1. Halloween. Literally a damned holiday. I got home from work to find out that some billing issue from my first RE ( who sucks and should be slapped for malpractice but for fears of slander I can't go into- but would love nothing more than to smear his "paid for" reputation all across town) flared up. From 2004! Oh- and the fact my insurance company at that time is out of business did not help, not able to get EOB copies 3 F'ing years later. So $1000.00 later I got to give them the big F -off. THEN, we sat in traffic for an hour to get to the District to take the kids Trick or Treating. Aptly named since the Trick was to find parking, and the only Treat I got was when I walked my rumpus over to the Cheesecake Factory for some chocolate cookie dough cheesecake because I was not waiting in 15 mile long lines for candy the kids can't eat anyway.

2. Early holiday shopping gone bad. I NEVER EVER EVER should have tried to start shopping early! Liz and I take the kids to Toys R Us. I totally do not calculate the toy to stroller space ratio and Liz ends up with a stuffed pony rocking horse on her lap and the back of my SUV looked like Santa's Sleigh. But I needed to make 1 more quick run into Baby Depot to see if they had sippy cups with straws. So Liz stays in the car with the kids and off I dash. I come back out, get in the truck, and find out the BLASTED battery is dead. I'm pretty sure that if I had been by myself I would have thrown my body on the asphalt and kicked and screamed like a lunatic. But I remained somewhat human, called Drew for a jump, and Liz walked to Arby's to hunt down some milk and mozz sticks to keep a riot from starting in the car seats. Word of advice- don't leave the radio and GPS running if the car is not fully turned on.

3. Haircuts for the kids. By a professional. With little caffeine in my system. Early in the morning. As a walk-in because their hair was starting to resemble a Chia-pet. Enough said.
