the kids and i played hooky today.
well, not REALLY. they did have a dental checkup to make our day off legit, but we did have fun with the rest of our day.
first, h spent his birthday $$ on an ipod shuffle. the cool special edition RED one, too. good choice for a 9 year old boy, huh?
then s spent her saved allowance (and some certificates i had) on a polar bear at build-a-bear. she named it knut after "knut the cute" from the berlin zoo.
then we visited santa. s asked for an american girls OUTFIT (the blue one that matches the just like me doll she got last year from santa). h asked for avatar: the burning earth video game for his xbox. santa looked befuddled.
we went to the park to bask in the 80 degree record-breaking heat.it's nice to take a day off from school, isn't it?

80 degrees? I guess that explains the t-shirt! Wow. It was so, so cold here today, and tomorrow is due to get even colder.
That's a good-looking Santa. And even better-looking kids :) I'm glad you had a lovely day.

Man, it's been 30-33 degrees here in ice capped Utah for the past couple of weeks!
Love the photo of your kids with Santa!
What a cute photo!
Beenzzz and I had our photo taken with Santa and I think we were in our 20's or close to that.
80s. Bleck. I was melting here today!
Such a cute pic and it sounds like a lovely day. Shhh...we're playing hookey on Friday. Ya gotta do that some days, right? =)
Greetings fellow Melissa!
It's been really warm here too, until now. Love those cold fronts that come in the middle of the day...NOT!
And the mixed holiday message is classic! A little Nightmare Before Christmas perhaps?
I blogged my Duran Duran concert for TT. Stop by if you can!
It's been cold here in NorCal, too. Low 30s. Brrr.
Love the picture!
