The world has come to this...

We took the kids to see Santa on Wednesday at our local mall. The experience was fun I suppose. My husband stood in line while I chased the children from one gigantic toy to another to occupy the time (45 minutes). That isn't bad considering it is so close to Christmas day. When it was finally our turn, we approached Santa, my daughter uncharacteristacally gave Santa a huge hug and sat on his lap like she's know him forever. We sat the little guy down, he did ok too. They talked for a couple seconds then we got off the lap, picked out a photo, paid and moved on. Luckily we had parked illegally right in front of Santa's house so we were in the car in no time. This is when we had this conversation:
Brenley: Mommy, he didn't say Ho Ho Ho, Merry Christmas
Mommy: (thinks for a second, looks at daddy, nods in agreement) No he didn't, did he?
Brenley: Why?
Mommy: He wasn't feeling well, he ate too many cookies perhaps...
The end.
So the next morning I email everyone the cute little picture we took and tell the story, etc. I get a reply from my mom saying "they aren't allowed to say ho anymore becuase it might offend someone". PLEASE!

Babysitter night...with a twist!

Ok, so usually on Thursdays, my husband and I get a babysitter and go on a date. This usually consists of going to dinner and then grocery shopping (yeah I know), other fun shopping or simply browsing. We only have two hours and it goes by fast! But last night, my hubby was out of town so I got to go to dinner with my sweet friend Ellen! The time went by fast with her too but I really enjoyed her company. I wish I could swap 2 dates a month with my hubby to go with her instead (did I say that?)!! Thanks again for a lovely evening of eating, chatting and venting!!!!

What's in a name?

I named my blog after my two kids (ok so most of you probably figured that out by now). From the moment I laid eyes on my daughter, Brenley, now 3 I have called her sweet girl. It is the first thing that came to me when I saw her so I said it to her and it just stuck! So needless to say when my son, Landon, now 1.5 was born, it was only natural for me to call him sweet boy. And oh is he...he's one of a kind and such a fun little guy:)

My first time...

OK, this is my very first post on my own blog! I'm excited to join the blogging world. I admire some of the blogs I've been reading and they have inspired me to start my own. I'm always up for something new so I'll give it a whirl...
