Here Comes Santa Claus

We went to have breakfast with Santa Saturday morning at a church in town. They had crafts, breakfast, snacks, prizes, story time, bingo...etc. You could leisurely make your way around the room enjoying each activity. You could spend time with Santa just talking without much of a waiting line. Very pleasant experience.

Then, a few days later, Santa was at the mall (different Santa) and Parker waved to him. Santa said "would you like a candy cane?" and, of course, Parker did! So he walked right up to him and took the candy cane and he said "Santa, why didn't you eat breakfast with us Saturday?" The guy was totally confused but he said "Well, because I ate breakfast with Mrs. Claus". Smooth cover! Then later in the car he said "Why did Santa have on different boots and no glasses?"

I said " his eyes got tired from reading all those letters to Santa Claus from little boys and girls" and about the boots: " you have different shoes don't you? Well, Santa has different boots!"

Whew! That was close! :)

Where does he come up with these things??

Parker has a best friend at preschool, his name is Zack. And Zack is hispanic.

Parker asked one day if I would get him one of those beds so that he could be the same color as Zack! One of "those" beds??? What are we talking about?

Oh! A tanning bed! No, honey you cannot go tanning!

Election Day

I took Parker with me this morning to vote. He had many questions about the machines and what I was doing.
Our township is voting on a new park for our little town.
And Parker wanted to know how I voted on the park:

He said "Mom, what did you vote for to put in the park?"

I said "Parker, we are voting on whether or not to have a park....not what kind of equipment goes in the park."

Parker: "Oh, because I really want monkey bars!" :)
