Anyhoo... in an attempt to make up for my absence (like you care) here are some highlights:
- Upon spying some deer through the windows one evening at the great-grandparent's house, Sass exclaimed "Look! Reindeer! Can I shoot dem?" (Daddy hunts, ya'll and apparently even Santa isn't safe....)
- Sprinkles learned to say "Up!", "Dere!", "Dis!" Dat!", and "Owl!" but still won't call me "Mamma". Twirp.
- We learned that our children will eat their own weight in Teriyaki Chicken Meatballs and Mini Corn Dogs.
- We also learned that Mommy should NOT eat her own weight in Teriyaki Chicken Meatballs and Mini Corn Dogs. "GI distress" doesn't cover it.
- You are welcome! to all those who own stock in the companies who manufacture TMNT and Spiderman merch....
- While reading a book to Sass, Hubbs belched loudly. Sass started fanning him wildly while making an icky face and said "Ewww, Daddy. Let it out. Let it OUT! That's terrible!" You are welcome, my love. And also.... How many times have I had to say this for Sass to pick it up? Well, in truth, once... but still....
So basically, fun (but not SLEEP!) was had by all and we can't wait to do it all again... in 12 months or so. Now... where's mah drink... :)
Thank You, Santa.... *sigh*
At this point, I am with Sass... shoot the old man. We bust our asses and he gets all the damn credit... just like a man.
ReplyDeleteHmmm... I guess I am still a little bitter and jaded from the holidays... Someone remind me of this the next time I exclaim, that I just LOVE the holidays.
Or get me really, really drunk.
Heard... I would forget and say that WE bought him something and Sass would correct me. "No Mommy. Santa brought me dis." *sigh*
DeleteWhen mine were small Santa only got to claim he gave the stocking stuffers and one smallish gift. I'm selfish like that.
ReplyDeleteThat belch from hubs must have been epic, and I won't ask about yours after the teriyaki chicken balls.
He IS a pro...
DeleteAnd I love the Santa idea! We may try that next year...
But I LOVE me some mini corn dogs! How many is "one too many?" :) Checking out your site, and following you on Twitter!
ReplyDeleteI think it was the combination of the two that proved deadly... :)
DeleteThis post really should have discouraged me from craving Teriyaki Chicken Meatballs...but for some reason I really want some now! Ha! I come from a family of hunters as well. One time my dad got drunk and told me the deer he shot was Rudolph. Ahh, memories.
ReplyDeleteThey really are "of the devil" delicious. :)
DeleteAnd we didn't get the Rudolf thing... Just Bambi. :)
So YOU'RE the reason TRU was sold out of all the TMNT merch. I have 4 weeks to find that damn sewer lair for his birthday now...
ReplyDeleteYeah... sorry about that... You can totally have the f*cking talking ninja sword, though... Errrr...
DeleteMy husband got him a talking Michelangelo that draws out his words if you hold his arm up. "This issssssssssssssssss EPIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIC!!!!!" So awful.
DeleteOh gawd... at lead we don't have one of those. We do, on the other hand, have a very mouthy Spiderman talking mask..... And no... it is NOT okay even if Spiderman says it.
DeleteI'm with you. Out with the old and in with the new. And the new better includes some vegetables or mama's gonna need a bottle of Senekot!
