Real vs. Not Real

Jane was convinced it was the real Santa--"His beard was real Mom!"
Max thought it was a "Really nice Grandma and Grandpa, but not the real thing."
David thought that Santa was really a cowboy in disguise--"Did you see the belt-buckle on that guy?  You could use it for a satellite dish!"
Blake didn't really know what to think. 
I'm tipping the scales in Jane's favor with my vote--so that's one for a "grandpa," one for a cowboy in disguise, and TWO VOTES FOR THE REAL DEAL!!!

Betcha Didn't Know That!!

I was looking through a coloring book trying to find a page for Blake to destroy when I came across this "puzzle page" done by Max.  

It made me laugh out loud.

Free Meal!

So tonight David had to work late and told me to be a "single mom" for the night.  That being said I was looking through my planner for something and saw all the "free" stuff that my kids had built up from school and decided that tonight would be the night.

First called Applebees and got Max his free kids meal from being "student of the day" at school--chicken fingers/fries.

Second, off to Del Taco for two free tacos from Max's other time being "student of the day"--Jane requested one of them be without lettuce.

Third we went to Pizza Hut for Jane's free personal pizza for finishing her reading for the month...they said it would take 20 minutes before it was done....sooo......

On to Cold Stone for both the kids to get their small kids size ice cream for reading 5 books a piece.

What an evening.  The kids thought it was great that we got free stuff from everywhere, and mom got to use up all those little coupons that have been bugging my brain.  Blake ate little bits of everybody's meal and needless-to-say I'm wondering when the barf-fest will ensue. Nuggets, Pizza, Tacos, and Ice cream?....bluuhhh!
