The boys are doing great but their agent (me) has been a bit busy. I finished 2 big projects Thursday, so their school parties yesterday and going to Zoo Lights were lots of fun. We have had enough candy and chocolate to last a very long time. They are both crazy for chocolate, though, so I'm sure they will ask for more tomorrow. Jackson is out of school for 2 weeks so we're lining up play dates for him while I'm working. Wilson's school closes Wednesday @ noon thru Friday the next 2 weeks. One of his church buddies will watch him at our home Wednesday afternoon and he'll be with Malin here Friday. Not sure about next week...
Jackson has never been too excited about Santa and Wilson seems pretty clueless. I guess I need to get "Twas the Night Before Christmas" to read to them since they love books. Of course it's the first Christmas for the 3 of us to be together and that alone is very special. I think they will enjoy their gifts Christmas morning- esp their Santa gifts. Speaking of him, I had their picture made with Santa @ the zoo last night. It was our friend Sharon's idea. Jackson has NEVER liked people dressed up, but Wilson acted interested...until it was his turn. Then waterworks. I asked if the boys could just stand on either side of Santa since frankly the 3 of us were all a bit creeped out by him. Jackson looked good in the photo, but Wilson was crying. Still cute of course but not exactly happy to be there. So that was their first (yes, even for Jackson) and probably last photo with Santa. One other thing of note happened at the zoo: there were 2 snakes available for petting in the herpetarium, but it was for 5 yrs old and up per the wrangler. There is NOTHING you could bribe Jackson with to make him do that. Wilson saunters right up to them (this is the same kid that put a lightening bug in his mouth) but I had to snatch him up to keep the wrangler from getting nervous. They even had the huge python out!
