Baked Toffee Peanut Grahams

Man.... I am beat. So far this weekend has just been filled with activity.

 Being the action packed mom and wife that I am I hit the road running this Saturday morning...we're talking coffee brewing, shower taking, peanut butter and jelly eating...which is what I had accomplished all by the early hour of 8am.  (mostly because I was forced to...Indigo likes to wake me up before the sunrises.)





By 8:30 I had my minion dressed in an adorable outfit, fed, piggy tailed, and sippy cup'd.  Needless to say this is all she requires to be happy so we were golden for a Santa Claus visit.  We packed in my car and made the drive over to where most of us spent our teenage years trying to look cool (where you may ask??), the mall!





At the mall there was barely a line for Santa, in fact we were the 4th people to get to him.  Being that I want my girl to have a super good Santa experience I figured Santa would be fresh & jolly.  Unfortunately I think he might have needed some coffee or illegal narcotics because he was a total flub and BORING.  Basically if this poor excuse for a Santa doesn't bring Indigo the human sized castle she asked for...I will hunt him down and stripe his beard with kool-aid.





Top 3 things that have more energy then the Santa we paid 30 dollars to for crappy sub-par pictures :

Number 3 -most snails
Number 2 - my flat-iron
Number 1 - dirt

Have you also noticed the quality of Santa Pics and School Pics are just terrible?  I was telling my hubby that back in the day, those two pictures were the pinnacle of pictures we took...now not so much.





How did we spend the rest of our day.  I can sum it up for you.

1.  Eloise, Little Miss Christmas
2.  The Grinch who stole Christmas
3.  Extreme Couponing  (I needed a break, and Indy needed a nap)
4.  The Little Mermaid
5.  The Ant Bully

Obviously I am not a mother against using the TV as a babysitter.  Feel free to un-follow me...no please don't, It's Christmas time for heaven sakes.
