Matching pajamas, SuburbanMommy’s yearly tradition.
Yes, there is one missing. Thing 3 was too nervous because he wasn’t sure if he was on the naughty list this year. He later calmed down and gave Santa his list.

Thing 3
The Wrestler
Of all the presents he received this year, Thing 3’s favorite is the wrestling mask Suburban Aunt and Uncle picked up in Mexico.
What Are The Odds
The odds of getting all four kids in the same picture are low. The odds of them all looking at the camera are lower. The odds of all of them smiling even lower. The odds of them doing it while dressed in matching pajamas in front of a lit Christmas tree? Near impossible.
Which Way Will It Go
Thing 3 wrote this letter to Santa. He says he is nervous because he doesn’t know if he’s on the good or bad list.
“What if I’m on both lists because I’ve been good and bad?”
When we told him he can only be on one list, he really got nervous.
This one may come down to the wire.
My Kids Make Me Look Bad
People view kids as a reflection of their parents. And those people are judging us by the behaviors of our kids. Even if it isn’t our fault.
Today I picked up Thing 3 from kindergarten. As usual, he was deeply involved in an activity and not ready to leave. I told him to finish up his game and we’re leaving in 2 minutes.
Thing 3: “Daddy, you are annoying me. You’re giving me a headache.”
He said this in front of teachers and other parents. They all smiled uncomfortably. Of course, they were all thinking he was repeating what he hears us say to him.
I can assure you I’ve never said anything like that.
Sure, I may have thought it.
It very well may have been true on many occasions.
But I’ve never said it. And now his teachers and other parents think I did. This is why I get nervous whenever Thing 3 opens his mouth.
Back To School
Don’t let these smiling faces fool you. It’s back to school day. Thing 1 is in third grade, Thing 2 starts second grade, and, get ready world, Thing 3 begins kindergarten today!
Five Years Old Today
Sometimes it seems like 5 years went by like that. And sometimes “like that” seems like a very long time.
Happy Birthday to Thing 3!
This Doesn’t Happen Often
Mother’s Day 2012. I’m always amazed when we get a picture with all 4 looking at the camera.
