No more Santa for us. C heard he’s fake and parents do it all. We discussed it and I fessed up. I’m ok with it but he needs to keep his trap shut since a lot of his peers still believe.

Hi from the hotel! The kids are trying to get settled and mh and I are trying to be quiet. The cat cafe was cute. I tried to not touch them too much bc I didn't want to have an allergy attack, but they were fun to watch. The staff knew we were celebrating Josie's birthday so they brought up a little mini cake and bunch of swag from Yale. I'm stealing the baseball hat that was in the box! We ate way too much pizza -- the one with mashed potato on it was incredible--took a little night walk and got some ice cream.

In our family we have a saying “as long as you believe you shall receive”. Once my eldest nibling figured it out, I pulled them aside and told them that. They kept “believing” and kept the magic going. The they told their brother when he figured it out and then the brother told the sister when she figured it out and so forth. It’s funny how the tradition has continued. Edit: one of the niblings broke the rule at school and didn’t receive anything that year. The following year he was so excited to tell Santa what he wanted

I think we're close to it, as well. The breakdown in logic made Josie ask so many questions last year. I am sure there will be even more this year

My period showed up 6 days early. I have heard females living together sync up but this is ridiculous.

Mine know the deal with Santa. I just keep on keeping on though. Not the first time an old white man has gotten credit for my work. 😄 I encourage them to keep the magic alive for others.

Godspeed. P.S. I really, really hope we're not a shared moon time family some day. Three at once would be a bit much. Sending you all the positive future vibes trtlcrzy.

I'm sorry wedding, that's always hard. Mh tried to tell his sister he wasn't real to be mean and then his mom shushed him, and then he realized he really wasn't real and was crushed. So far we have been doing the chrisy01 approach if he brings anything up, that you only get gifts if you believe. And if it comes up more, I will let j help being Santa bc if he spoils if for his sisters, I will lose my mind. We are getting pretty bummed that it's bound to be near the end for him though.

Hi hi - we went for a hike today without thoroughly checking the weather and it was definitely raining for the first 45 min of it. It was a nice hike though and despite k looking positively miserable in her carrier, she apparently had a great time and kept talking about how dad helped her (by wearing her) and it was so much fun.
Otherwise hung out and I dug through quite a few piles of paper in the dining room and found J's desk under his piles of crap. 1 room down...rest of the house to go. We told N that we were going to clean up tomorrow and she said when we were done we'd have a real house, so feeling like an A+ parent here😑.

Yesterday I went through all of H's books and got a good pile to give to my niece. I also tackled a few toy boxes. I got my first facial and then went to my in laws for dinner.
Today is M's party at the art place and she's so excited.

The party overall went well last night. Three girls stayed overnight. After they leave M has TKD team then we'll go out to eat where Cass chooses.
I've got some ideas in mind for her birthday scavenger hunt. It's going to be a Spirit Riding Free group of activities to find and help an injured Spirit. Need to flesh it out.

Kids are such delightful little creepers. One of Cass' friends is this tiny, sweet little girl. They painted nutcrackers (aka butcrackers) and she was definitely the best little artist. But then she covered her nutcracker with red paint to look like blood. 🤣

As predicted, it's snowing! Coming down pretty hard. Grass and trees are white but it's not going to stick for the most part. Always looks weird next to the fall colored trees!

Right!? And hell no to getting rid of the mouse and reusing the trap. The whole thing goes in the garbage. 2 weeks after I got married MH was gone on a work trip and I saw a mouse. We were in a rental and the owners had left their junk drawer filled…which had a glue trap in it. So I set it out. Next day, it had a squealing mouse on it. It was equally disgusting and heartbreaking. But I couldn’t find it in me to get near it. I called MH who was in GA who just laughed at me. Then I called my dad, who told me to man up and dispose of it. But I finally sweet talked my dad into leaving work and coming to my rescue 😂.

I am trying to pack up some stuff today. S and I are headed to STL tomorrow, she has an appointment on Tuesday, then Thursday I’m having surgery on my wrist. I’m hoping I can get my photographer cousin to do a short session so I can have some updated pics of Sierra.

Mom gets to go home! Woohoo. They've put her on seizure medicines and redoctored her current meds to better suit her needs.
