a short, but expensive list

D's Christmas list
(I may have let him trace my letters after I saw the first two lines... he's new at this writing stuff!!)
D wrote a letter to Santa yesterday. We have never done this before. He is very excited! (and was a little bit irritated that it was not in the mail yet when he woke up this morning.) I asked him what he wanted and can you will not believe this (or maybe you will), but one of the first things he said he wanted was a calendar. Specifically, "one of those paper things with the numbers and pictures on it... like the one on the refrigerator with the turkey on it." Sure! I can get that for FREE at our bank. I mean, Santa can. I will let him know. (Or, I am almost positive one of our relatives will gift him one if she comes down to visit.) (That reminds me that I will need to have some kind of picture album of the kids ready to hand over as well.) Anyway, sorry I got sidetracked, his list continues with:
  • Train. (one with brakes that work)
  • Bullseye (from Toy Story... Santa and I talked and he already has this! Isn't that wonderful!?!)
  • Computer (hahaha!! wait, they actually do make laptops for children. And tablets.)
  • Cowboy boots (this request might have had some mommy influence)
He also tried making Ry and Rose's lists as well. Such as, Ry needs his own Legos and Rose needs a play kitchen with a microwave. Um, okay? Not sure why he was specific about the microwave. I totally understand the Lego situation, though. I get to listen to them everyday. (also, I talked to Santa about Legos and he already had those, too!)

I guess I better go get some things done now that I've brewed myself some more coffee. At 11am. Don't judge me.

    I literally laughed out loud at the calander-bringing/picture demanding relative mention. So spot-on and hysterical. :D

    D's handwriting so reminds me of his father, ymmiT. Classic stuff.

    Oh, I love the new header. That chicken next to the picture of you looks like a Gigantor chicken about to round the corner and devour you. It builds suspense. That's a good picture of you, BTW. I mean, there are lots of those, but it's perfect for the blog.

    Oh, dern. It's a rooster about to devour you. Sorry, I'm not up-to-date on my farm animals.
