We had an appointment for pictures at 11:40. After almost an hour with no photos, we left we were all dressed up and ready but the kids just weren't going to behave after such a long wait. I'm sad. We did stop to wave at Santa, so it wasn't a total loss. I'm talking him up so that when I try Santa pics this week, Max doesn't have a meltdown.

Went to short hills mall, and there was a 4 hour line to see Santa and we got there when it opened. They have a frozen display in front of Santa this year but still!!!!

I swear we are like ships passing in the night at that mall! We were in the kid area from 11:45 to about 12:30 ish while DH got his haircut and Joshua let off steam. Where did you go for pics? Picture people?

Haha I can't believe we are always there at the same time! Yeah, we tried Picture People this year (we normally do JC Penney) but they were so behind schedule it just wasn't going to work. I think we are going to try and take our own photos this week at home.

I have found that unless we are one of the first appts in the morning, or we go on a weekday evening, they are always behind. I usually send DH out around the mall while I wait. Good luck with your photos!!!

Today is the first day in about a week I haven't felt terrible. I caught M's cold and was super congested and was having awful headaches. I finally feel like myself today.
This morning I was making pancakes and listening to NPR and M came running into the kitchen and asked, "Mama, why are you listening to commercials?" Haha, it must sound so boring to her.
We were at target today and I was looking at shoes for Brady and of course he wanted the light up Spider-man ones and dh didn't get why I wouldn't buy them. He kept saying you aren't the one that has to wear them. No but I don't want ugly charachter shoes in all of his pictures. I'm ok with charachter shirts or pajamas but when he only wears one pair of shoes and flip flops until he outgrows them no.
It was great meeting you! Yeah, it would have been awkward taking pics. Though I saw a woman taking a selfie in the lobby.
by the way, how did J like his gift? I got one for Caleb, and he didn't give a flip for it.
I have held it back, only because he has been off the wall this weekend, and wouldn't care about it if I gave it to him. I think I will try tomorrow. Thank you again! How many books did you end up getting?

Actually, I don't know. At least 10 for the kids and between 5 and 10 for myself. I haven't counted.

Absolutely!!! Thank goodness my DH is more obsessed with shoes than I am, because he totally gets this!
I was just thinking: with everyone looking for deals right now, would anyone be interested in a big thread where people posted specific discounts they want (i.e. discounts on a certain toy), so if anyone sees it they can let them know? Just to kind of keep an eye out for each other?

That sounds like a good idea!
I don't want to pay $120 go magnatiles if I don't have to

I made the most perfect and amazing white chocolate and macadamia nut cookies, and also coconut macaroons drizzled in chocolate. I have never made either and they were sooooooo good!!

So MH and I were watching the Giants game. A was asleep, then he suddenly walks out to the living room, looks at the tv and said "hey guys, who's winning?" WTH kid?!
we've spent the whole weekend cleaning and purging and it feels awesome! Got 2 suitcases packed full of toys and clothes to give to my niece that is due January, trashed a bunch of junky toys and have 8 paper grocery bags of toys and clothes to donate as well. I'm a little sad dispersing all the baby girl things, but if we were to someday decide on another and it happened to be a girl I know I'm going to want to buy stuff anyways.
Terrible bedtime tonight. William is teething or something, fussing all day, gnawing on everything low grade fever (99.8) wouldn't go to bed. Finally gave him ibuprofen and he fell asleep then matilda was screaming and woke him up. OMG
Then I spent an hour sorting the giant laundry pile.
Then I offered my h the sex because it's been over a week and he said no!!! He's too sore from blowing leaves for hours today. I mean not that I care, I just offer out of pity for him mostly lol
