Little Blue Truck is full of cheer.
And I'm broke already.
What do you got going on this month?

DD asked Santa for more dinosaurs. I just did a count and we're adding about 40 more to the 80 plus we already have. 🤦😬😳
At least she plays with every single one. 🤷

sheilathetank holy shit that’s a lot of dinosaurs. I just got home from work and then stopping to pick up some shoes for DHs work party Saturday night. Got a cute pair of leather black booties. It’s at an Irish pub so I’m thinking dark jeans and cute top or cute top and my spanx faux leather leggings but we will see. I’m off tomorrow so that’s fun. I wish I could sleep the day away but DS would never let us do that lol.

I ordered the Little Blue Truck's Christmas book from Target the other day to go with his new PJs for Christmas Eve, but I think I'm going to return it. DNW a book with twinkle lights. /grinch mama

Yep, broke here too.
We're about done, though. I need to get bath crayons for DS's stocking, and I think that's it for the kids.

I'm.....not even close to being done shopping. I am making a Target run on my lunch break today though! Hoping to get a cute bedding set so my kid might get excited about her toddler bed she doesn't sleep in.
Also hi! After weeks of sickness and being home for a week straight with 2 sick and rambunctious kids, I am happy to be back at work! We just had 2 snowstorms Monday and Tuesday so I'm already over winter.

I wish I could sleep the day away but DS would never let us do that lol. It's mostly because she has to have a mommy, daddy, and baby for all of them. Then nonni moved in and now we need a nonni too. So yeah, we have a lot of different sizes. They also have $1 dinos at walmart and the dollar store and I have used them as bribes. Thankfully, she plays with them every day without fail. Every other toy in our house is used in conjunction with playing with the dinos. They are also cheap so I'd much rather her be obsessed with them then legos or some other expensive toy.

Also broke here and still a lot of shopping to do, although I think I'm almost done with DH.
I've got the lists made, but I was waiting to see what the little guy was asking Santa for since he kept changing his mind. Glad I held off on the Frozen castle because he ended up asking for a light saber.
My 8yo wrote a letter to Santa asking for (in addition to a new bike) an elf on the shelf. No way kid, I made it this long, you are past your prime for requests like this. Santa is writing back that he needs his elves to help at the North Pole and can't spare any.

Not broke yet because I’m slacking with the shopping. Along the line of billyhorrible’s ds, I just found out that mine is asking for “the mole game” (Haba’s Little Garden) on his school list or whatever they were doing today. His teacher asked me for clarification. That game was an option for his little sister’s list and she picked a different one. Now I’m debating if I should get it or not. His grandparents already bought the board game that was actually on his list sooo....bonus group Santa gift?

I mean, it may not be the giant supped up version, but you're getting a reasonable equivalent. If the game isn't that much, and you think he'd actually play with it, then I'd get it.

Lakes we only do one Santa gift because my kids get sooooo many presents this season (Chanukah and Christmas) so if it were me I wouldn't do a bonus Santa gift. However, we do have the kids pick out gifts for each other, I like to get them into the habit of giving not just receiving, so in your shoes I might make the gift be a present from his sister if you really wanted to add it in.

I feel like I’m the only person in the world not getting my kid stuff for Xmas. He’s still young enough where he doesn’t really associate the holidays with presents and he had no idea who Santa was when he came to his music class today, so I’m very much on the no presents trip right now. I’m sure next year will be a different story, but I’m going to save money this year.
Funny story: today he had music /story time class and they had a Xmas party and Santa came. His boy BFF started crying and wailing and had to be taken out of t he took to calm down, another little boy was also sobbing hysterically, and N was like NOOOOO and clung to me and buried his face in my chest and wouldn’t look up. 90% of the girls were like hiiiii Santa! One girl had a similar reaction to Noah, and one boy was excited. I laughed so hard. When it was time for Santa to leave, the criers were like BYE!!!!!!! we’ve never talked to N about Santa, so he had no idea what he was or anything, so I was surprised at his reaction to him. I asked if he wanted to take a pic with him and he was like NOOOOOO. Oh well.

My boys are terrified of Santa 🤷🏼♀️ Santa brings each kid a bag with books and movies.
Add me to the broke club. I go back to work next week, so it’ll be nice to start earning a paycheck again.
We got DUMPED on by this storm. It took us 2 days to dig out. We never get 2 feet in one sitting, let alone in December. Half my christmas lawn ornaments were completely buried, and you could barely see the other half.

DS somehow found Christmas Chronicles on Netflix about a month ago. It is now called Reindeer Moomie and is requested at least once a day. He’s obsessed with Santa and reindeer and is convinced he’s going to find them hiding somewhere. Every Christmas tree he sees, he goes up to it and yells “SANTA? REINDEER? ANYBODY??” into the branches. I die.

He everyone 👋
It has been crazy the past two weeks. My parents flew in and while here; my kid swallowed a penny at daycare, we got 7 inches of snow,our apartment got a leak and we have had maintenance and a bunch of people in and out. (I currently have no drywall and a bunch of machines going on in my house, also I have a plastic barrier wall in my living room). This is in addition to normal shenanigans and my birthday.
All that to say I am tired and I very much am ready for a nice relaxing holiday. 😂

sheilathetank we went to the pediatrician and they said we could wait to see if is passed (it did) but that if we couldn't find it we would have to go in on day 7 for X Ray's to make sure it wasn't stuck.
