Santa....part 1

So, after dinner last night, we rush out the door and head over to the SuperMall in Auburn to get pictures of the kids with Santa. We arrive at around 6pm. Immediately, Mitch gets a little clingy. We're there 15-minutes and he wants to be held. Another 10-minutes and he complains that he's tired. Another 10-minutes, he's whiney. At this point, we've moved about 20 feet and still have 40+ feet to go. We haven't even seen Santa yet - just his arm... Another 10-minutes and he's crying...We're outta there!

By the time we reach the mall parking lot, he's having a full-fledged fit. We quickly strap the kids in the van and head out. The noise of Mitch crying is starting to annoy Aly. Within 5 minutes, she's crying. It was a fun ride home.

I think we're going to set out again this afternoon to try again...

Lunch....ugh...
I mentioned dinner above. What I didn't mention is that Lisa made my favorite - spaghetti - and I didn't eat any (which could explain why she may have been slightly annoyed with me). You see, I went to a local barbeque place called Pecos Pit. They don't have much of a menu but they do have the best pulled pork in Seattle. I decided to get the pork...hot...with a spike. This translates to a pulled pork sandwich with VERY hot sauce and a hot link. That translates to heartburn and an upset stomach which translates to no dinner... Lesson Learned: stick to the mild unless I've got some Tums and Pepto Bismol handy...

I did eat some of the spaghetti later and it was delicious!!
