Christmas Break

To start it all off Declan had a fun last day of school. They marched off along a paper train track to get their tickets punched by Mr. Hamilton and then they were on their way to watch the Polar Express. They had different "train" activity stations all set up afterward with snacks and activities and a mini dance party at the end. Oh and of course this all went down in pjs so good times.

Declan and Daddy had the day together and once i got home from work the three of us headed off to Chelseys for Christmas Eve. Poor little monkey had been a little under the weather and it started to catch up with him. He did have some fun playing Charades/Pictionary with everyone for prizes he was pretty tired and could have crashed on my lap any moment. We stayed only about two hours before heading home (both boys fell asleep in the car on the drive home). Declan was so tired when we got home that he asked us to put out Santa's cookies and the reindeer food without him.

Christmas
6:20am the Muffin Man came into our room very excited and said "I think Santa came!" Daddy went down first to turn on the lights and then came upstairs tiger us both. Declan was thrilled when he came downstairs. Cookies eaten, stocking stuffed and Colour Change Hot Wheels under the tree. He loved it. He wanted all the gifts to be for him but other than needing to show a little patience here and there it was all good. Lots of toys.
Christmas dinner he's the only little kid at the party. He was also a little under the weather. It had really started on Christmas Eve and was catching up with him. He had a fun time with Reed playing Super Mario Brothers but then he tripped, bumped his knee and started crying. The crying led to gagging. It was time to head home.

And with that it's thursday Dec 29th and Declan and I have both barely eaten, barely moved and just can't wait for this illness to pass.

He still kills me though.
We go grab some groceries today and when i pull into the driveway I ask him "Do you want me to let you in the house before Instart bringing in the groceries?" He replies "No I can take one bag. Give me the toilet paper."
He's a classic.
