Visit with Santa

For the last 2 years, we've made a trip down to the Springs Preserve to visit with Santa Claus. They also decorate the entire park with Christmas lights, have sleigh rides, a train ride, and other fun things for the kids. Last night was cold, but we still had fun.

Kids Say the Darndest Things!

...one night while trying to potty train Jocey:

Mommy: "Jocey, this is the last diaper! How exciting!"

Jocey: "Yup."

Mommy: "It's official, you're a big girl now!"

Jocey: "Mommy, I not a fish, I Jocey!"

-------------------------...as we are driving up to Wyoming:

Jocey: "Mommy, I want go to Grandpa's house."

Mommy: "We are going Jocey."

(after about the 100th time telling me she wants to go)

Jocey: "Where are we?"

Mommy: "Jocey, we're at Beaver."

Jocey: "SQUIRREL!"

-------------------------...one hormonal day, mid pregnancy, while sitting on the couch:

Jocey: (with my face in her hands) "Mommy, I like your haircut. You so beautiful."

Mommy: (trying not to cry from pregnancy hormones) "Thank you, Jocey. I think you are beautiful too."

Jocey: "Thank you being my mommy. You make me too happy."

Mommy: (wiping the tears away) "I'm glad I'm your mommy. You make me so happy too."

(Sometimes these conversations make all the frustration so worth it)

-------------------------...the other day while I was having a contraction:

Jocey: Mommy, you okay?

Mommy: Yes, I'm just having a contraction.

Jocey: Oh no Mommy, you not a trash can.

-------------------------

Daddy: OH NO!

Jocey: What Daddy?

Daddy: I forgot the lasagna that Mommy asked me to bring to Aunt Dawnie's.

Jocey: OH CRAP! We have to go back and get it.

-------------------------

Sitting in traffic one day...

Jocey: This is ridiculous.

-------------------------

Daddy: I have to get out of bed and get ready for work.

Jocey: Well, then, get out of bed!

Upon seeing the skeleton and tombstone set out for Halloween:

Jocey: Who's that?

Mom: No one, it's just pretend.

Jocey: But what is his name?

Mom: I don't know - must be Bob.

Jocey: No, it says right there, his name is R-I-P!
