Chucktown...Again!

We can't help it! It's too close and we had an entire free day... There was a Christmas Holiday Market at the Coliseum in Charleston which was a good enough excuse for us to go again. It was cute. I got a little Furman ornament which is a pretty rare thing to find and picked up some other little doodads for a friend. There was a "Santa" there too and although we hadn't planned on it, the line was so short that we decided to visit him anyway. We plopped the kids up on this very fake looking Santa and right away Callie dug her fists into the dude's beard. After the pictures were taken, we picked the kids up and as I was grabbing Wyatt off of his lap, the guy looks at me and tells me he is sweating his ass off in his outfit and beard. Now, I know that Santa isn't real and all, but a part of me was really kind of heartbroken to hear this crusty guy speak from beneath the outfit. I kind of wanted to clasp my hands over my ears and pretend like nothing happened, much as you would if you heard a nun fart or something, but instead, the crushed little girl inside of me just handed the fellow a spare bottle of cold water. We walked away with the not too merry feeling of knowing we had just sat the kids in a puddle of nether-region sweat. Sick!

After that, we dorked around at the outlets, the mall, and found time to pop in on my friend April who lives in Mt. Pleasant. The kids did great and Wyatt is getting really good at saying "momma". I need to put it on a video to post on here. Last week, I found out that one of my roommates from college and her husband live like 2 minutes away from us! Small world! We had them over for dinner and football yesterday. It was fun catching up and very trippy to see their 4 year old daughter. I can't believe that we are old enough to have kids!
