Be trippin'

I must have been crazy to take two toddlers to the mall on a Saturday afternoon during the height of Christmas shopping. But to see their eyes light up when they saw Santa was worth the trip. Of course being the cheapskate that I am I didn't not let them go up to him. The cheapest package was $25!!! That is ridiculous. That is more than I pay at Target and I get a ton of pics. I know I am going to break down and let them go see him up close and personal. However I'm sure their pic will be of them with terrified look and them in mid escape. For those of you who know my kids really well...know their look of pure terror. Oh the happy memories we create. The highlight of their day was the carousel. They had so much fun riding up and down. I am such a party pooper when it comes to the carousel. The whole time I'm contemplating throwing up or passing out. The up and down and round and round motion is way too much for me. Give me a gut wrenching, pants wetting rollercoaster but I will pass on the weenie "even slobbery infants and diaper wearing grannies" ride with glee. But I do those things that I don't care for anyway for the joy and smiles it gives my kids. Too bad Daddy wasn't there...next time it is his turn.
