Boo-boos and questions for Santa

Within two days, Maddox managed to get a cactus stuck in his behind and Jude poked himself in the eye, leading to a late-night ER visit. Poor guy has an abrasion on his cornea. The worst part is giving him drops 3 times a day for 7 days. It requires two people and lots of candy cane bribes.

He was wide open when he got back from the ER. He showed me his two hospital bracelets, a sticky hand toy, and a sticker. Finally, around 12:30 AM, Andrew got him to sleep walking him around and singing a lullaby.

This week we've done some fun crafts, plus some silly stuff, like filling containers with rice, adding green glitter, and transferring it around with spoons or funnels. The bigger the mess, the more the boys love it.

Petey Pie and Maddox have been exchanging notes lately. Maddox wanted to know:

"Does Santa have a brother?"

"What do Santa's farts smell like?"

I'm serious.

According to Petey Pie, Santa DOES have a brother and his farts smell like...peppermints.

Here is Petey Pie's latest mischief. Apparently, he likes to catch rainbow Swedish fish.
