Santa Can't Disappoint For Two Years

I'm not a big shopper. I'm more of a browser online.

The weekend deals came. I refuse to go out on Thanksgiving. Friday was a day of putting up the tree, wrapping packages and working on the holiday card.

In the evening I stopped at the store to pick up an ingredient we were lacking for dinner, so I did stop into Walgreens. They had some deals, I knew it wouldn't be really busy, and I was right by the place.

On Saturday Mica had two birthday parties to go to. They were both across town from one another. The first one only invited Mica. The second one only had Mica and one other kid. It was a busy weekend for everyone. While we were waiting for Mica to get done with the first party we went to the mall. We were mainly killing time. We took Isaak to Crazy 8 to try on jeans. He had plenty of pants handed down from Mica, but they all have holes in the knees. I picked up two pair for him, and one grey pair for Mica. All were $10, but I had a 25% off card to.

Daddy looked annoyed that we were there. Many times I get the boys clothes he says, "I should come with you sometime." He's such a liar good sport of a husband.

Isaak saw that Santa was down the way. Isaak said, "I want to see Santa!" Daddy rolled his eyes. Remember we're killing time I said, "Ok Isaak we have time for you to see Santa honey." I have no pictures this time. They don't let you take photos, and I wasn't planning on him seeing Santa that day.

Isaak said right away, "Santa I want a Doggie Puzzle. You never gave me one last year." Then he showed him his missing tooth, explained he had other loose teeth, and talked about getting the award at school.

Santa couldn't find a doggie puzzle last year. He She didn't look too hard for a doggie puzzle last year because Isaak has puzzles that he never does. I mentioned this to Isaak and he said, "I don't do them because they aren't doggie puzzles Mom."

Santa got online to pick out a Doggie puzzle. He She didn't want to spend a lot because again Isaak has a stack of puzzles he doesn't put together. Walmart had a cheaper one, but it was dogs mixed with other animals. Land of Nod I love, but it's usually pricey. This item was reasonable. They had free shipping, and a 25% off code. It's about the right level to. Isaak's not as gifted with putting puzzles together as Mica is. Mica can do those 3D puzzles like it's no big deal.

Santa can't disappoint for 2 years in a row. Isaak had a booklet he got from Santa. Mica was helping him fill it out. It had a spot for the kid to write a letter. In the letter you had to say if you were naughty, or nice. Mica said, "Well you can put that you are sort of trying to be nice." Smarty pants!

As for Daddy - He bitches complains every year because he doesn't know what anyone is getting. I want to say, "Well you do the shopping then!"

Strep

Well Isaak and I got sick on Friday night, early Saturday morning. I took him in to get tested for strep because Isaak was around 2 cousins that had it. We both felt achy all over, I had a fever and he felt warm.We had stomach issues to.

Isaak tested out to be negative to strep. Homeward we went to sleep the day away. By 5 Isaak was happy. I still slept off and on all night.

On Sunday we were better. I still felt off, but I figured it was because we did nothing and ate barely anything the day before.

Today I went to work. Isaak was laughing, jumping around and very talkative. I felt much better, but still sore.

At 1 pm Daddy got a call from the doctor's office. Isaak's culture grew over the weekend. He had strep throat. I right away called my doctor and told them what was up. They were nice enough to call me in some meds. I didn't have to go in and pay, yet another co-pay. I went back home and have felt stiff in the neck the rest of the day.

I hope we haven't passed it on. I can't count how many times this evening I've had to get after the boys about leaving each other alone! Mica wanted to cheat with washing his hand. He rinsed them for like 2 minutes. I made him wash again, while singing the alphabet.

Isaak's skipping preschool tomorrow and I'm skipping my class. It stinks because it's almost finals time. I can't go in.

There you have it: 2 sickies.

At least I cyber shopped and took photos today. If you know any new moms I'll be having some giveaways going up on my blog: Milking the Issue tomorrow.

I'll also post on here for my WW: My Christmas Cards! I got them printed with a cyber deal. Then I bought custom stamps to go with my postcards on zazzle.com. I had their cyber deal and a gift code. I also bought $50 worth of kids clothing at Crazy 8. They are all larger than what my boys are fitting in now. Clothes for next year. I saved $50 with my purchase!

Here's a few of my buys at Crazy 8. I mainly buy for Mica since he's the one growing. Isaak gets a few things to match his personality along the way.
