After yesterday's trying day I decided the kids and I needed to get out of the house and loosen up. Luckily the weather was gorgeous and the boys got to play outside for an hour or so before lunch today. The neighbor kid came out and even played with the boys. The neighbor kid is 12 and is a really good kid that has chose to take online schooling since his mother is sick. Such a sweet kid. Anyways I was thankful that they got to get some energy out running around outside.
I almost never have to get the boys ready on my own. Most people wouldn't think it was a huge deal but when you have children you begin to appreciate help. I got the boys bathed and dressed and then I hopped in the shower and got ready. We were doing good and was on time until it was time to go. I wanted to get a few pictures of the boys by the Christmas tree before we left and they were not having it. They wanted to go to see Santa and go now! So I bribed them and got a pretty good picture.
But then Dayton made a mess in his pull up(Yes, my 3 yr old is still not fully potty trained) and Trent stepped in dog poop on the way to the car before we could even leave.
Anyways long story short we made it to where they were offering free Christmas pictures with Santa to learn that the line was 2.5 hours long. After a few minutes standing in line we decided to just drive across the highway where there was no line and pay &25.
So it wasn't a terribly exciting day but much better than yesterday. It's almost Christmas and I'm so excited!!! We have a busy schedule ahead of us:
Saturday: Shopping with brother
Saturday night: Family Christmas with Mom's side
Sunday afternoon: Nutcracker at local high school
