KiKi jumped right up on Santa's lap this year and proceeded to tell him quite confidently that he wanted Teenage Mutant Ninja turtles - all of them, and Diego things. Santa was so good natured that he even chuckled.
Hard to believe, but Neil-Te is still a bit nervous about Santa. He needed A to go up with him, but willingly sat on Santa's lap and made his request. The boys were happy with their visit and the rest of my shopping went extremely well.At one store, I handed the sales associate my list, he filled my cart and loaded my purchases into the car. To top it all off, a different man in the store handed me a coupon to use. Sometimes it's actually an advantage to shop with the kids. I think people are more pleasant, cheerful, and patient when they see us coming. (Of course, with all the boys in tow, I need them to be!)
Oh, yeah, I finally got a chair for my living room! The boys were being so good that I made a quick run to the furniture outlet. The boys grumbled, and I assured them that it would probably be quick since I have been unsuccessfully looking for a chair since August. They knew I really wanted one, so Neil-Te and CoCo prayed that I would find one. When I walked in the door, I was accosted by a sales lady. I almost gave her the brush-off, but then decided to tell her what I was looking for. Her face lit right up, and she told me she had just what I was looking for. (Imagine me thinking, "How cliche. I'll believe it when I see it!") Well, 15 minutes later, we were driving out with our new chair and a van full of awestruck boys who believe in the power of a God who listens to a child's prayer.
