Saturday was another busy day here on the island. Tara had a game at Pearl Harbor at 9am. Kevin didn't get back till 2am but there's no rest for the weary. We all piled in the van, picked up another cheerleader who needed a ride, and headed over the hill. Once we got there we discovered that one of the football teams was a no-show so we drove back over the hill and went to Santa's Wonderland. Santa's Wonderland is set up at Tyler's school every year. The admission is free with a Toy-for -Tots donation, and Santa is there for pictures along with different classrooms set up for activities. In the classrooms, you could make leis, Christmas ornaments, gingerbread men, treat bags, wreaths or get your face painted. If that wasn't enough they had 2 jumpy houses and a playground full of fun too. The kids all had a great time with just one small hitch. Kevin stood in line for Santa pictures. I took the kids to the different rooms for the activities. Tyler refused to get out of line. I don't know if he wanted to be with Dad or if he thought he may somehow miss Santa, but he wouldn't budge. He stood in line for an hour patiently waiting to see Santa. Personally, I was a little disappointed with Santa. They had a long line of people waiting and I understand there was a time crunch but..... it's Santa Claus. He didn't utter not one HOHOHO and he didn't ask any of the kids what they wanted for Christmas! What kind of commercialized crap is that? He's got to ask what they want for Christmas! They scooted them in, snapped a few pictures and moved on. Anyway, they all got pictures and they were all happy to see Santa, so if the kids were happy Mom was happy.
Kevin did the icicle lights last night while the kids and I finished the rest of the house. Whew! I can't believe it's done.....and we still have weeks left!
