Sunday funnies

Today we went to Macy's. The kids and I. I had never, ever been to Macy's here. Because I never had a reason to go. I usually prefer to frequent Goodwill. (Their prices are more my speed.) But I had a giftcard!! I bought a new wallet. The last time I bought a wallet was in 1995. I figured it was time for a new one, so happy birthday to me! Thanks, Jim and Lois :)

After purchasing my beautiful new wallet, Viggo and Svea really, really wanted to go up the escalator to the Christmas department. So up we went. And what was up there, but a desk and stationery all set up to write to Santa!

So we wrote letters to Santa.

Viggo's letter read, "Dear Santa, I wood like Lego gis." (Lego guys.)

I think Svea asked for world peace.

Then they put their letters to Santa in an official Santa mail box. Even better, for every letter sent to Santa, Macy's would donate a dollar to charity.

We're just doing our part to make the world a better place.

One letter to Santa at a time.

It was so exciting to see all the Christmas stuff. And say hi to everyone on the first floor below.

Whoa! A Santa with soul! There was another lady in the Christmas section too. I think she was wondering who the nut was taking a picture of an African-American Santa.

What can I say? I thought Santa was a hoot!

Love you, Santa!

Viggo and Svea pose in front of a tree filled with pink ornaments.
It practically goes without saying that this was Svea's favorite tree.

After a trip to a park to play some soccer, we came home. Svea took a nap, and Viggo played in the backyard. After while I joined him, and he said, "Hey Mom, I caught some salamanders!"

He sure did! And a centipede or two.

Yucky.

I stayed as far as I could from that little red bucket.

Elin was outside with us too. She's been chewing on her hands a lot lately. Time for teeth soon.

She loved watching Viggo run around in the leaves.

And Viggo loved making silly faces!

Me and my littlest girl!

I hope you've had a happy Sunday too!
