Fun Weekend

We had a breakfast w Santa at what MIGHT be Jackie's school next year- the Catholic school nearby.  She seems somewhat warm to the place. It's me that has anxiety over change.  Despite her expression as we wait for Santa, she did not want to leave.

Here I am, being a controlling mother and instructing my little people to tell Santa what they want. What did Hillers ask for? A Xmas tree, ornaments and a star. Santa looked at me like I was the worst mom in the world. I said "oh! She must want ANOTHER tree!" All defensive. What a tool I can be. 

We didn't actually eat here- it was too crowded and like a block from our house, but the girls did make ornaments and liked it. 

Jim wasn't into it but truth be told, neither was I. Breakfasts w Santa are not our forte. We are not morning ppl.

The rest of the day, all 3 kids played so well together. It was like good karma for having attended a breakfast. Below is our arts and crafts closet. 

Me and Jax. 

3 kiddos eating at the table. We are throwing away the high chair. Ben loves eating w his girls at the table. 

Sunday morning was super special. Jack's bestie turned 5. Seems like just yesterday we were celebrating her third birthday at the children's museum. But that also seems like 100 years ago. The diff bw 3 and 5 is vast. 

Below are the 2 littles, having a romantic lunch. 

The rest of the party.

That night- Grammy and Pops' house. 

I love a busy weekend.
