I recall Christmas Vacay as a kid being filled with sledding, hot cocoa, dried-out gingerbread and thumbprint cookies. Enter 2016. We have zero snow, the kids are into coffee coffee-creamer and the cookies barely made it to Christmas. The times they are a changin'
Prior to the 'Sing' movie, we ate lunch at Fudruckers (we had a gift card). The moment the kids realized we weren't at Chick Fill A, you'd have thought I took them to eat at a homeless shelter. Ross refused to eat and announced to the entire lobby how disgusted he was, Mack completely shut down and would only respond to chocolate ice cream, the girls saw the pop machine flavor options and suddenly became dehydrated.
By the end of the ordeal, all was good. I'm not sure if the employee in the background was a creeper, or just secretly cussing us out under his breath.
Upon arriving at the mall, we learned the movie had been sold out.
Of course it was.
So we shopped. We found ourselves at Scheels where the boys each bought mini basketballs with a Christmas Gift Card. I was fortunate to find a toilet (with non-existent privacy, of course). And yes, I took a photo of my audience. This is my life people. Gotta entertain myself someway or another.
Basement activities followed as we made arrangements to try the movie again the following day.
The girls each received a pair of used in-line skates and they both still have all their teeth.
5 days of Christmas Vacation left...
Fingers crossed.
Happy New Year!! Before schhrrroooolll holiday break , we took our special Ed students to Fuddruckers in Dallas . They also found the soda machine and made a valiant effort to consume every flavor and additive . One student had an orange "Fanta" w/every flavor and another student had at least one of the items from the "condiment/vegetable" bar on his burger. There were 24 students/faculty on this trip and we whipped out a pump container of ketchup!!! Where's the Tylenol !!
