Wenzels travels

Wenzel is doing well-- He is reporting back to Santa every night-- some days this works to my advantage- the kids are tell each other to behave because Wenzel is watching-- And a lot of nights I do not even see him leave. Luckily for me Mike does.

Last night was the most interesting night though. The boys had been in bed for an hour and I was actually awake enough to see Wenzel off to the North Pole. Little did I know that Garrett was still awake too. As I was saying goodbye to Wenzel (and placing him in his newest spot) up walks Garrett-- MOM What are you doing.

Now I do not lie to my children so it was hard for me to come up with a good one. So I say, "well I was showing Wenzel your money and telling him to report to Santa that you do not need as many presents this year because you have saved up so much money you can buy your own." (OH GOOD ONE KELLY -- it was the best I could come up with) Then I proceed to tell the little guy that I needed to show Wenzel the dust on our entertainment center so Santa could send a letter back with Wenzel telling him and Carson to help me out and dust the house for me. Garrett says Mom you can dust yourself. I explained that I could use the help and I figured if Santa told them to do it then he probably would without complaining. Luckily for me he believed the entire story.

He walked out to the living room and told Wenzel that the money was to buy stuff for other people and he didn't really want to dust so he didn't have to tell Santa that.

OHHHH the pickles I get myself in.

Mike was laughing the entire time in the hallway listening to me try to handle the situation.

Garrett took the picture - If you zoom in you might even be able to see some dust on his legs-- HA HA -
