Santa was hitting the sauce-

Today we went to the Galleria to take pictures with Santa, round two- and the poor guy was struggling. We wanted to get a picture of all 3 Maheu kids with Clark for Grandpa Maheu in California, but of course things never seem to work out the way we plan... Plus, we really think Santa might have been drunk. He actually PASSED OUT between children. Even the guys taking the pictures were laughing about it. They had to bring him water to sober, i mean wake him up. I tried to snap a picture of it, but didn't have the right angle. He looks grumpy enough though- poor kids probably think Santa is such a loser!

Clark and Perry were holding hands before the pictures! Clark seems to think girls have cooties already- and he can keep thinking that until high school. Ha.


As you can see Perry wanted NOTHING to do with the big drunk man-


I mean seriously, look at this guy's face!


Clark had a BLAST on Santa's lap this time around.


Ah yes, our new favorite thing Clark is doing. Hitting. Hitting when he's excited, hitting when he doesn't get what he wants- hitting all the time. Love toddlerhood. As you can see Rich was super thrilled. He even hit two kids at Gymboree the other day and we had to leave. Not cool. We have no clue where he got this behavior from and we're doing our best to teach him it's wrong. From what I've heard it's just a stage he'll grow out of, but this is one time he can't grow fast enough, we'll be glad when this phase has passed.
