getting ready for the holidays.....and baby

We headed to the mall yesterday to go see Santa and get or annual pictures:)

Kali was so cute, she was nervous about remembering everything she wanted to ask

Santa for, for christmas.  She seriously repeated the list to me 100 times and

then would ask, "am I forgetting anything?"

She asked him for a world globe, computer, dinosaur book, 

reindeer puppet (not sure what that is, she came up with this one while in line?),

and Toy Story 3 the movie.

Krew just asked Santa for candy:)

I was nervous to see how Krew would react to Santa, since the past years

he wanted NOTHING to do with Santa.

This year, he ran up and sat on his lap and gave us a big ol' smile.

While at Costco, I picked up one of these gems.  

A pre-built gingerbread house, all you have to do is decorate it.

This had my name written all over it.

PERFECT!

I put on the icing, the kids put on the candy.

It was a great time!

 Can you tell which one is ours:)

I know, I struggle, but as least I try.

I should have let Kali put on the icing, she may have done a better job.

 I have been trying to make sure I have everything accomplished before this baby comes.

getting kids caught up on shots...

Since I moved to WA, I took the kids to the doctor when we first moved here.

I think they had gotten sick and I thought I should find a doctor around here for them,

so I did, and they have not gotten sick all year and I have been lazy and slacked on their

shots.  I thought I better get this all taken care of before the baby comes.

So we go.

5 shots for Kali and 4 shots for Krew,

and a thumb prick for each to test for anemia.

Kali had been nervous for awhile about getting shots and wondering if it would hurt.

Well let me tell you I have one TOUGH cookie.

She did not cry AT ALL.

The nurse what shocked, she could not believe Kali wasn't crying,

she even told Kali she could cry if she wanted, but nothing.

Seriously the stinking nurse was acting more nervous than Kali.

Poor Krew on the other hand, cried when he got is shots,

and said, "please, no more."  It was cute and sad.

He stopped crying though and soon as she was done with the shots.

They both got succors and stickers, which made everything better for Krew.

 Krew was funny, he got up on the counter and stuck his head in the corner and said,

 "mom, take a picture of me."  

So of course I ran and grabbed my camera, he never lets me take his picture.

One more thing on the agenda before the little one is born.

Take the kids to see Tangled.

THEY LOVED IT!!!

I did to:)

and I may have shed a few tears.

Kali had to comfort me.

She gave me a hug and told me it would be OK:)

The kids both got popcorn and a treat.

I wish I could remember which preview Krew was watching here,

but he had a kung fu grip on his popcorn and Rolo. 

 In case you were wondering we went to the 4:02 showing.

How funny is that:)
