Problem Solver

Just to prove the 'ol blog isn't dead...

On the way to see Santa this morning, I did one last check of the kids' lists to make sure we were all on the same page.  Apparently, we weren't.  It went something like this...

Me: Myka, what are you going to ask Santa for?
Myka: Colored paper, tape, and Polly Pocket Dolls.  (more on that another time)
(pause)
Myka: and can I ask Santa for a puppy?
Me: Youuuuu can...
Kurt: (quickly) but he won't bring it since we already have a dog.
Myka: Oh.
Me: Eli, what are you going to ask for?
Eli: A drum because mine doesn't work and walkie talkies because I don't have that.
Me: Sounds like a good idea.
Eli: And I'm going to ask Santa to bring me a new mommy, that isn't allergic to cats.  So then we can get a cat.
