slowly but shirly!
we have the cristmas hangover. that is what I call the few days after Christmas. when all the hype is done. the fat old man “santa” has been here and we are trying out allt he new fun. Thanks to my mom, Santa my 10 year old got a camera. we were going to get him one when she told us there was a spare at the house and we could give him that one. so we used that money for something else for the kids. and he still had the camera…..

Now the 12 year old got the books he has been DYING to have. and an I pod. with a few other ods and ends. tha girlie gor a niting machien that had me baffaled for a while but we got it over the past night or two. it also came with a sewing machien that she is going to be trying out today with me

the littlest… he got Spill the beans that he hasnt let go of yet. he got a new webkinz. ( all the kids did) and he named his Pancake. to go with repeat and cinnimon. LOL this kid is hilarious.

There were a few other things. things from the family that they cling to. like the slime balls THANK YOU AUNTIE and the Parahana hats my mom nited for the kids that seem to never leave thier head.

They had a great Christmas. and the hubby and I did too.

The best part for me ???? that was a cook book my mommy gave me. just as soon as I can get a minute. I will share pictures of me bawling my head off when I saw it. see she said she would give it to me when she died. I asked her why me? you are the only one that bakes and cooks like that……

COOL I LOVE that book. my favorite. so… here comes Christmas and I start bawling and holding it. More to the story…. I called mom on Christmas eve as 07:37  to ask for a recepie so that the kids and I could make them for santa…. and I called that early knowing that she would be leaving for work soon… that way I could catch her just befor the rush of her going out the door……

*sleepy voice.* ” Hello!”

“Oh goodness mom I am sorry, did I wake you up?”

“yeah,”

“Go back to sleep I only wanted a recepie I was trying to catch you before you went to work… I will call back latter.”

” No its okay Im up now…..Hold on.”

*hears tolet flush in the back ground… hears rummeging……hears fumble with the phon and clearing of voice* “okay here it is….. *gives recepie. *”

“I love you mom….. thank you… um go back to sleep………..”

Boy I felt bad all day. I am nto one to call over there that much. should prbibly change that. But when I do I know they are awake they are early birds like me. well I am MORE early but at 0630 .. come on they are up. well I think I might have to change that thought process. so here for the whole world to see….

I woke up my mommie and I am SORRY! very SORRY! *G*

So here I sit in a puddle of tears over opening up the book right? and mom looks at me with the look you see now I have the book so will not be calling her. she will be calling me. at 2100 that way… she will be waking ME UP! *G* love it.

The kids asked me why I was crying and I told them “this is my mommies book. grandmas book. she wrote in it and the BEST recepies are in it.”

So when My dad came over to help me out with making Donuts for a friend. I asked him…. ” mom said she would give it to me latter when she died….. that would have been fine … why now? Not that I am complaining but because I know she uses it.”

Dad said. “Mom wanted too. she didnt want to wait till she died.”

“Besides this way she gets to see me cry right?” *LOL*

Out of everything I got this year… (my tree had new ornimants when I got up … SPATULAS for the kitchen) I can tell you the BEST THING… was the book. It was NOT the shark shirt lessa… bestest sister in the world…. it had to be the cook ook hands down. and while dad was here… he was showing me. this on and this one. and dont forget to try this one. LOL. and CALL me when you make them. we will come over for dinner. *G* so I will have to invite them and try something that he loves so much.

hee hee

so How was your Christmas…..? Mine was AWSOME. thank you mom and well sis (for the shart shirt fun.

So I promised you all that I would get the pictures up. and I now have them loaded. But that means that I should more than likely tell you about them…..right?
well the pictures kind of tell the story. *G*. the video tell ALL of how my baby boy felt. and as you can see he was the first to get to his lap. AND he was so shocked that he was really in his lap… THAT he COULDN’T get his fingers out of his mouth. SHESH

Dear Santa listened as he said he wanted goggels to swim like big sibblings and that he wanted to have a cubby hole like he has at school. and he wanted to have fun. than I said smile……

  Get your hands out of your mouth boy…. so I can see your face. Got it santa said and than the never washing of the hands again because santa touched my hands was born. *G* But Santa had something else in store. “He didn’t smile very big…. do I need to tickle you son?” Momma yelled…. ” OH YES DO THAT!!!!!!!!!!!”

and there we have it …. a perfect picture!

than next was my girlie…. who is still hanging on to the belief that santa is real. and as the video showed. ”This one is the REAL santa.”

Up she went with a note in hand like my kids always do…. how else am I gonna know what santa is going to bring so that I don’t get the same thing. SHESH get with it……  She told him how she wanted hearing aid batteries for her momma because today had been really hard without the batteries in. she is deaf as a door nail you know….. and than went onto the more fun things… like needing to have more dolls and maybe an IPOd…. no scratch that more dolls. and you guessed it… more dolls. like the million that she has are NOT enough.

Than it was “Mom do I need to tickel this one too…….?”

“OH YES!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE do it! than I will see her NO TEETH!”

And this is the smiling face I got! 

So next we had to CONVIENCE someone to go up there and my oldest he was old enough… He knows. if you dont believe than santa doesnt come and seeing as how mom only gives us her HANDMADE JAMMIES every year you had better believe or it will be an empty tree for you.

  He talked for a while and santa began to look tired than he perked back up. someone must have mentioned a cookie… or so I thought….. ….

“I don’t need a tickle I will smile.”

and he did give me a winning smile. I will take it… the rest on his request in a few.

than we pulled teeth AGAIN to get soeone up there…….

 You will notice in the flicker bar that there are A LOT of pictures of her with santa. not because she was asking for a LONG list of things. but because she took the time to talk his ear off like she does to anything or anyone that BREATHS!. don’t get me wrong here…. she is a wonderful kid. and I LOVE her with all  my heart. But she talks without having to breath. I don’t know how she does that. but she does.

 She asked for a Christmas full of love. and someone to teach ehr how to play guitar… because she has like had it for 2 years now…and still doesn’t know how to play. right? right!

The posing was like. I can’t believe you are making me do this auntie you SUCK! than ….”DOES THIS one need a tickle.”

“OH YES SHE DOES!!! NOW!!!!”

and he ALMOST got her on his lap. *LOL* Oh she will kill me for these when she is older.

Than we were onto my 10 year old.

 He told him how he wanted a camera and an I POD… but he understood if he couldnt get to it. we were putting in our lists a little late. than he started just Yackin about his swimming and a comic that we had read on the way there about how santa’s head would explode if he asked for 5 seconds off his 50 free because he just couln’t do it… sot he kid said I promise I wont ask for that. so the kid got on his lap and asked for 4 seconds off his 50 free. and santas head exploded with anger. and exasperation. LOL.

 Now he was tickled as well. without santa even asking me if he should do it. I guess after 5 kids you would know that the MOM is totally down for the tickeling of kids.

As you can see… I WILL NOT SMILE……. I WIL NOT SMILE…… Oh goodness that tickels so bad. I can’t hold it in… I will look like i am gonna poop my pants instead! *LOL*  

 Now to take you back to this… Santa pulled me aside in the end! Just as the two littles were running to tell daddy that “the slegh is over at the shop while he is here for pancakes, getting ready for the BIG flight… and that the raindeer are ap at the north pole but will fly here in enough time to pick him and the sleigh up for Christmas morning. and and and”

Santa said. “I didn’t catch the name of the boy in the gray shirt. ‘Oh that is my D fly … he is a special one…..’ I want you to know that he wants a game piece.. I didnt catch which one. But he wanted it so the whole family could play together.  I thought you should know that. It is the best request I have had ALL morning. it was for the rest of you. Not himself. you have a good kid.”

well I have to say. Santa is right. even though he and I go round and round. he is a GREAT kid. and I love him very much. His list is filled even though he doesn’t know yet. and we will all be playing as a family together very soon.

DF OUT……. for now
