Hunter LOVES Christmas catalogs. Loves them. Adores them. Obsessed with them. He is thrilled because they have started to arrive and he has spent hours (no, i don't mean minutes i do mean hours) pouring over the toy catalogs making sure he has looked at everything at least 234 times before getting his pen and circling the ones he would like for Christmas. This year he has taken it a bit farther as he is circling literally every toy in the catalog and then putting an "E, A, J, K or H" next to it. Key: E=Evie, A=Ezra (because you cant use 2 E's, you wouldnt remember which toy was for evie and which was for ezra), J=Judah, K=Kate and H=Hunter. He takes the catalog everywhere, including the dog park where he peacefully sits on the bench and pours over the pages while other kids run around in the mud. Judah too is excited about the catalogs that have arrived. He looked at his catalog for about 5 minutes, decided he wanted the Christmas calendar, a menorah, a buzz lightyear costume and an elmo costume. These 4 items where on the first 2 pages of the catalog and then he decided it was all he needed.
Today was an extra exciting day because a new catalog came in the mail...the bass pro shop christmas catalog. he was jumping up and down in the driveway after he pulled it out of the mailbox and said he was going to read it over and over again until he had to go to bed (note:this was at about 530...he goes to bed at 830). he inspected each page with intense scrutiny and was overjoyed because this catalog had stuff for grown-ups so he could give me suggestions on what i could ask santa for for christmas. he decided i wanted some pink camo pj's, a bedspread with deer on it and a lamp/rug combo with dogs and ducks. my he knows me so well ;) He picked out a 4 wheeler for justin and a toy story fishing pole for his brother.
***tangent: santa. I have always told the boys that santa is not real (i know i am terrible), but today hunter told me..."mom, i know that santa is real no matter what you say." clearly his peers in pre-school have been influencing his opinion on santa :)
so, i apologize in advance if you receive a christmas gift from bass pro shop...pretend you're thrilled because it will have been chosen by hunter and he will be so excited to give it to you.
here is H showing his super excited face about the new catalog:
