Feeling Festive

First, I need to write this down so I don't forget it.

We were on our way home from the church, lunch, groceries, Lowe's marathon day of fun when the kids started talking about cars and their favorite cars and if they had their favorite car what they would have written across it.  Here were their choices:

Ninja:  I put the fun in funeral.

I don't even know what that means.  Honestly.  Not a clue.

Sweet Yahoo:  Hot Princess

What? 

Little Middle:  Jesus Christ is My Lord and Savior.

Suck Up.

Baby:  Tooty Toot

Of course.  Tooty Toot.  Seriously, what else could it be?  

Okay.  That's it.  I just needed to get that down before I forgot how funny my kids are.


In other totally eternally insignificant news.....I'm already planning for Christmas.

I like to be prepared and get all my gifts early because I hate the feeling hanging over me that I have stuff to get for people.

But last night I spent, no lie, 2 hours cleaning out a room shared by two little moochers and decided that we are going to do something different about Christmas presents this year.  For real.  I refuse to be featured on Hoarders.

I had already decided we would take everyone to a Toby Mac concert in December and count that toward their Christmas bonus ;)

Toby Mac, y'all.  Can't wait!

So now I am looking at getting them one more item.  ONE!   Considering they have several grandparents that give them repulsive amounts of stuff, I thought we'd embrace the minimalist mentality and get them one gift a piece or one large item the whole family could use.

So...I'm asking for your suggestions.

Let's try to avoid being this guy this year.  

What has been one Christmas, birthday, Arbor Day, whatever gift you have gotten for a kid that you did not ultimately regret?   One that they got hours of play time with.

And because I am desperate I thought I'd offer a little giveaway with this one.

Target, anyone?

I thought a small gift card to Target might help fill some stockings for a lucky reader.

I do love my readers.

Just enter below.  You can can leave a comment or share the blog link on your Facebook page.  Or both! Either one will get you entered.  And remember....make sure you leave your name on your comments!  I'm not as omniscient as I like to think I am ;)

Good luck!
