We have been talking Santa gifts at our house. You may remember the day we took the kids to toys r us to get their little minds locked on the PERFECT present from Santa. Let me refresh your memory with a little song - noodles/noses/vacuum hoses. .
This is how it goes...
Cameron and Spencer : I want that. Mom can we have that. COO-UHL ! Can we have that too mom. I'm asking Santa for that. Yeah and Cam check this out, lets ask for this. Mom we HAVE to have that. OH my Gosh Spencer look at this over here....I'm asking for that...me too....look at this red one....OH my Gosh, yes, I totally have to have that.
Nathan and Ryan : I want that sword mom. I'm asking Santa for a sword. I want that gun. Mom, put that gun in our cart. Mom, can I have that gun at ours house. me : put it back honey....you have to ask Santa for it....we don't get to have it now screaming, crying, the sound of a small peoples hands being ripped from a sword, a light-saber and a pirate holding a knife...and also pulling 2 different kinds of guns out of their pockets.
Syd : I don't know what I want.
(she has previously asked for a DSI and a real 4-wheeler. a pink one. like her friend Hailey's. ummmm that would be a no to both)
We have decided to do the Want Read Wear Need, this year for Christmas. I'm still waiting for someone to tell me how to explain this new tradition to my kids. You know, I can't just say "this is what Santa does" because Santa doesn't do this at their friends houses. I need a good story. with follow up answers. the rules of the game. If Santa gives them the want read wear need stuff. do I still give them something from us ? how's that work ? Things that have me up at night. until at least 10:30 any ways.
We are going to take them to see Santa soon....whatever they ask him for will be the final decision on what they get.
