One wish...

If I could have a wish right now.. I would wish for a clone of myself to get things gone. There are not enough hours in the day to complete what I have to get done. Between cleaning the house, laundry ( which is piled a mile high), cooking dinner ,the list just goes on and on. My goal was to get all the xmas shopping done before school lets out for break. But do you think that has happened?? Nope.. so I am going to have to try and sneak away and get it finished. Lauren has changed her mind so many times that we finally told her Santa's workshop doesn't like late orders. I am looking forward to the week after xmas when we can just hang out.Then hopefully my list wont be so long.

Not telling you

Lauren has had a TON of questions about Santa. She is even not telling us what she wants because she says Santa knows. But we have been able to get a few things out of her. First she told me she would like a baby sister , umm,NO . But I told her that God controlled that Santa doesn't. She just looked at me. Then she said well I want an IPad. Ken said, No honey, Santa doesn't have the license from Apple to give those out. Again she rolls her eyes and walks away. Finally the other night she tells our sitter that she REALLY REALLY wants a cell phone.But she really doesn't think Santa will dis-obey Mommy and get one for me. Smart girl. Let's hope want Santa brings her is just what she wants.

He's back....

Fiddle our Elf has returned. The kids were so excited to see him. I was as well because I find myself saying alot, "behave or Fiddle is going to tell Santa. He was right at the bottom of the stairs waiting for the kids to wake up. Lauren walked right by him this morning. Walker is the one that discovered him. He was so impressed with himself.

BUT... Lauren left this note last night. It's hard to see so I will tell you.

Dear Fiddle-

How are you ? I got a 100 on my test. Can you answer me one question ? Are you fake??

YES-
NO-

Lauren

AGH-- I knew these questions were coming soon. She has been asking a ton of questions the last few weeks. It makes me so sad that we are at this point. I know that she will find out soon but I want one more Christmas. Tonight she said Mom my friend at school says Easter Bunny and Tooth fairy aren't real. But that Santa is real, I said does that make sense. She thought a min and said no not really. So I think we still have some time. I'm so not ready for my kids to grow up.
