The big man in the red suit!!!



Colin wrestling with the boys.

Santa came to story time today!!! Going into this we knew that it would be an extreme for Jason. He would either love Santa and not leave him alone or be terrified. We tried to prep him for the big day and even made a list. But when the big moment came, he freaked. Thank goodness daddy got off of work for it and grandma Connie even came over. After a few kids sat with Santa and Mrs. Clause, Jason and Jacob had their turn. Jason tolerated Mrs. Clause and Jake loved Santa... More hair to pull. It was a success though. Jason gave Santa his list and really hopes he gets a dinosaur (a real one, not a toy), a car, a train, and this morning he added volcano to the list. Who knows, maybe Santa will be able to fit all of that in his bag, but we will see.

I have included some pictures that I have taken in the last week and would also like to report that Jake is on the mend. He is sleeping better.... actually in 4 hour stretches again. It is so nice to actually get some sleep. Now only if Jason would start to sleep more. We just didn't luck out and have kids that like to sleep. Some might say this is payback for when Colin and I were kids. They are probably right.
I don't know if I will get another post done before next week. But, after closing Monday I will definitely have some stories to share. Have a great rest of the week. Enjoy!!!!!

Jacob found the tree and it has become a real problem.
