That sarcastic mom wondering about life and having fun with her family.
Today turned into an Oz day. First saw Wicked for Good with my mom and niece. Then introduced Wizard of Oz to my boys. Oscar really loves the Munchkins. Tonight watching Wicked with my husband. He hasn’t seen it yet.

Ugh, running to CVS minute clinic with my eldest. He sadly has pink eye. Hoping for antibiotics, but resolving self that we won’t be getting any drugs and just wait it out.

Getting my eldest ready for bed. Soon to sort through the toys of what to keep out vs save for later. Then have a visit from Santa.

Thinking a little Holiday Cheer might be in order.

I had a holiday itch to scratch and I bought pickled herring. I made a grave error and did not read my cracker box- they are minis. So now I have to break up my herring to make my snack work. Ugh… but I want herring.

You know you are a parent with small children when you can clock the parking spot by the cart carousel.

Ok getting ready for the rest of the week.
Making recipe lists
Wrapping presents
Getting the car an oil change
Buy one last gift card

Cookies are divided for Christmas Eve, Santa plate, and general eating

Trying to think of anything else… I’ll forget something.

Today is my in-laws side to celebrate Christmas. It will be joyful chaos with 4 children under 4 together. The magic of Christmas all around.

We had a great time riding on the train and playing with all the toys. We got to say Hi to Santa when he walked in which was really cool. Hit the nap wall before Santa photos. All in all, a good Holiday event morning!

Today we see Santa. We’re going to the Transportation Museum for this event so we get to ride in a caboose! Low expectations excited.

Today is just a quiet day. Picking up the house, doing laundry, and hanging out with Russell. More can be done but not much more is needed.

Today is naptimes and seeing the grandparents. Trying to keep it entertaining while it’s currently -5^ F

Just finished watching Last Christmas for the the first time. Yes, I knew the premise beforehand and yes, I still cried at the “reveal”. Henry Golding is so pretty.

Oscar was only interested in eating the cookies. So today ended up me decorating the cookies during nap time. Below are some of my favorites.

Oscar already ate 2 cookies.

We are making sugar cookies tomorrow! I prepped the dough to chill tonight so tomorrow will be all fun with the kids. Rolling, using cookie cutters, and icing the cookies.

Keeping low expectations for high joy because I’ll be doing most of the work due to attention spans.
