anyways, bean was VERY excited, santa was coming to school for goodness sake! she couldn't wait to get there. was it time to go yet? was santa going to be there when we got there? was he going to be in her classroom? the questions never seemed to stop. i just kept saying i didn't know, that we'd have to wait 'til we got there to find out.
then she gets this excited look on her face and blurts out this:
"will santa's sleigh be in the parking lot when we get to school?!?!?!"uh.
thankfully my mommy brain was working this morning! we decided that santa couldn't bring his sleigh today because the reindeer had to rest up for their trip christmas eve.
i thought that was going to be good enough.then she says, "then how will he get there?"
well, once again with the quick thinking- lack of sleep must agree with me or something. ;) i had her convinced that he was probably coming by airplane. then someone would drive him from the airport. (this worked because we often pick up family members from the airport.)
phew!
it ended up being a great day. she got to shake santa's hand when he came to her classroom! (OMG) i didn't pay for a picture with santa since we had already done that so i think she was a little disappointed about that part. but she still got a candy cane from him so that erased all disappointment. candy has a way of doing that.
edible crafts do to. here is a picture of what she made. cute, huh?
now there's a sugar rush waiting to happen! ;)

We are planning to make Christmas trees just like that tomorrow, with the cousins! too funny. That's cool that Bean was invited to join in - what a great school (I wish N's were smaller and more intimate). And, great thinking on your feet, Mama!
How cute and how much fun!! :)
We went and saw the nativity tonight. Adam was so excited- almost as excited as he would be to see Santa, I think. He was a little sad, though, because baby Jesus wasn't in the manger yet... because well... it's not yet Christmas!! Clever of them, but very sad for Adam. haha.
I will email you about Friday. :)
That's a great edible craft idea! We may have to do that one next week when I have all three kids here ALL week and we need stuff to do!
Good thinking on the whole Santa thing!
The treat is the coolest idea. I absolutely think I'll steal that idea and do one with Bryce. :)
I love the way you think on your toes. I can't wait until Bryce starts asking me things like that!
Im jut copying what Kimberly says (instead of Bryce think Rebecca), will so be doing that craft soon
I am sure my immortal soul has been indelibly scarred by the lies I have told on behalf of Santa. (Father Christmas to us)
What can you do? :-)
Love the 'tinsel' on the ice cream cone tree.
