That sarcastic mom wondering about life and having fun with her family.
Kids are napping and I can take break. Merry Christmas.

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.

Current list:
-Peanut butter Blossoms
-Frosted Sugar Cookies
-Soft Gingerbread Cookies
-Russian Wedding Cakes

I will never try to melt chocolate chips in a double boiler ever again! By the baking gods, that was a pain. But my husband has Havreflarn cookies for his office cookie exchange.

Do NOT watch Pink Fong Space Journey on Netflix. It’s Baby Shark with like 5 varying iterations. I’m in a certain level of hell I didn’t know existed.

Oscar was amazing at decorating the tree. He jumped right in. It was so much fun.

Yes, he is wearing a Santa Bear hat. IYKYK

Ok, 4 pm is way too late to put Rusty down for a nap. He is so angry now.
December 5, 2025 at 11:24 PM
One more sleep and this cold will be gone. What a rough week!

Today is fluffing the Christmas tree & putting up the non-kid ornaments up high. Then tonight, Oscar wants to help decorate, so fun!

Both boys love the jingle bells. Yes, the house is louder but it’s so exciting having all the joy!
December 5, 2025 at 3:24 PM
Almost over my cold so today I put up all the surface Christmas decorations. Tonight husband and I will bring up our tree after the kids go to bed.
