I Hate Nutcrackers!

As a kid, I was irrationally afraid of nutcrackers.  Hated them, wouldn't look at them, didn't want to be near one.  Even now, they give me a creepy vibe and I don't want one in my house.  This commercial confirms my feelings.                               

A Letter to Santa

How sweet is this?!

Dear Santa,
I love you.  I was a good boy this year.  I love Daddy, Charlotte, and Mom.  I love everyone, even Santa!  Pennsylvania is our state.  I hope you know where we live.  I would like a Geo Trax train and Toy Story 1 and 3 movies.  I want real tools and some wood so I can make something with Dad.  And please bring the Laugh and Learn Kitchen for my sister, Charlotte.
Love,
William

Trick or Treat, Smell My Feet!

In central Pennsylvania, apparently Halloween is celebrated on different days.  Our township has trick or treat night on the Thursday before Halloween.  Others have it on the Wednesday, Friday, or Saturday.  So lame!  Anyway, William had his preschool Fall Festival and costume parade on Thursday.  Then we got ready for trick or treating.  William was a skeleton, Charlotte was a strawberry, and I was a cat.  Sean was a trooper and stayed home to hand out candy.  William and I hit the streets around our townhouse community.  He was relentless.  By the end of the night, I had to hold his bag for him it was so heavy!  It was a great night. Too bad it was all over by Thursday and very anti climactic for the actual holiday.  Maybe next year we'll "double dip" trick or treat by heading out of town on Halloween.
