santa lectures?

there's something to be said about indoor malls...it is indiana and it's snowing and it was FREEZING waiting to see the big guy. i took the "it builds character" road on this one.
but it was all worth it once we got inside the cute house that santa had those elves build right in the middle of our outdoor mall! amazing!
and then in the amazing christmas spirit, i read this...yep. merry christmas...give us $20 minimum. seriously?
it didn't matter, i mean the girlies loved santa...sof zoned in on the candy canes on the other side of the house and darted across to grab them. dang kid...just like her dad ;)
...but she chatted it up with the big guy...after staring him down first, of course!
my fav part this year...i mean the girlies were adorable, but when santa lecture paige and brit about not breaking boys hearts and being good, i almost lost it. he was hilarious!
turns out that b and jk changed their list and will likely be terribly disappointed since the big guy only gives one gift a year and he's already made that decision/build/purchase. uh oh.

in the end, we got a pic with all our girlies and the big guy! and they are so stinking cute.
merry christmas to you and yours!

Adorable! Love that you are posting the kiddies and Santa (me too!)

Our Santa had the same (no photo rule) and even went so far as to say "only one photo with your camera WITH purchase of a package").
I think not! I took as many photos as i wanted. LOL

Hope your beautiful family has a very blessed Christmas!

random acts...GNO

over at GNO, there's a few of us who decided to challenge ourselves last week to perform a random act of kindness.   i talked with my girls and hubs about what we could do... we reserve some funds each month out of our giving to put towards a current or urgent need that we find.  i think it's important to let the kids see how we give as family...and they should be part of that decision too . as we were talking, and eating chinese...come on, you know there would be eating...i open my fortune cookie.  and this is it!! i was out getting a few minutes of alone time and decided to pay hubs forward by getting jiffy lube to do the oil change.  while i was there, i remembered how hard it was being a single mom.  i remembered that the little things, like oil changes, suddenly became bigger things and honestly, more expensive things.  *light bulb!!!* thomas rang me up for my oil change and asked if they had any scheduled appointments that i could pay for.  he looked at me a little odd...

sadness

on the way home from DD {{bc apparently there was NO preschool today for jk...it's no prob, really...we just rushed around and scrambled and got in the car and then when we got there and there was no school...well, there were tears...thus DD}} , there came a moment of sincere sadness in my heart. jk: " mommy, i want to look like brookie" "why sweetie? you are the perfect jada" jk: "i don't like my brown skin. i want peach skin like brookie" i just sank. does that not make ur heart want to break? a 3 yo is struggling already with her skin being different. then, this happened: brooke: "jada, god made you and he loves you. he does it all right the very first time" then, i think my heart grew three sizes . jada threw a big smile up on her face and said, "ok. god loves me" now, if we all could just do that. god loves us...he doesn't make mistakes...he makes perfect works of art. sometimes there are scratches in the art.

tuesday tribute---for tuesday

go blog yourself has been on my reading list for quite sometime...and so i really came to love little tuesday whitt and her whole sweet fam and became involved in praying for them in tuesday's battle with that stinky neuroblastoma . tuesday's parents are totally amazing...they inspire me! although tuesday went to play with jesus not so long ago, there have been so many people that are changed because of the courage and strength and honesty of the whitt family. on the day of celebration of tuesday's life, a number of folks who couldn't make it out to the funeral, took their kids on a 'wagie ride', which was one of tuesday's fav things. we all posted up our pics...shared our experiences with each other...and hugged our kiddos a little tighter. my kiddos wagie ride is here . from that precious little tuesday and her honorary wagie ride, a blog spawned...of course...and it is dedicated to nothing more than, in their words, "to keep track of lives touc
