Santa Claus is Coming to Town!
He sees you when your sleeping...
He knows when your awake...
He knows if you've been bad or good...
So be good for goodness sake!
So here we are again, the month of December, Christmas and Santa Claus.Although crazy as it always is this time of year I have to say that I really enjoy it. Not only for the treats, lights, good cheer but mainly because I can threaten my children with "Santa Claus" and they will ACTUALLY listen.... AT THAT VERY MOMENT!
I realize that this may sound a bit harsh or even cruel but my motto these days... "What ever works". The minute one of the kids starts misbehaving the threat comes...
Mom or Dad: "Do you want me to call Santa and tell him you are being bad?"
Porter: Instant panic on his face, "No! No! I'll be good!"
Phearson: Stops crying instantly, "I'll be good"
Ryan even goes a far as busting the cell phone out and putting it to his ear, which causes shear terror to Porter. (Porter asks Ryan who he is calling now every time he picks up a phone)
BUT IT WORKS!!
So I say YEA to Happy Holidays and an even bigger YEA to well behaved children.
(At least for one month out of the year)

lol too funny! love the santa pics! and i cannot believe how much Tav has changed and i have only been gone for almost 2 months...crazy...but all 3 are as cute as ever!
that is awesome!!! Trent does the same thing (the phone thing)
It's too bad that we can't use that all throughout the year... and have it work every time!
I'm sure we'll end up doing the very same thing. And I agree with you on "whatever works". :)
Yep, I agree with your whatever works philosophy. We do the same thing at our house! Santa can work wonders!
