No SANTA!!! And Covin the smarty pants!

This is all about my boys! They crack me up! This week Conner has been HILARIOUS! His poor little brain is trying to figure things out. He is so confused. We have been talking and fighting with Covin about being nice and not talking back. In the mean time Santa has been thrown in as a scare tactic, "Santa won't come if you are being bad!" We decorated the house with Lights and up went the Christmas tree. Conner all of the sudden is SCARED that Santa is coming to his house to GET HIM! One night Covin had been awful so Shaffen was mad and telling him that if he didn't start being nice he would be on the naughty list. This went on for a good 20 minutes, Conner was listening to the whole thing. But in his little mind Santa is scary and "No Santa get ME! He was so sleepy and emotional that he cried and cried until he made himself throw up! Poor kid, how do you explain that to a 2 year old. We tell him Santa is nice! He tells us, "No he not, he scary!

The next day, Conner and I were the only ones home. He was carrying around a little gun. He showed it to me and said, "Mama, we no shoot people." I said nope we don't. He says, "Only animals??!!" I said yes ONLY animals! He says, "AND SANTA???" I couldn't help but die laughing! How sad he is that scared of Santa. So needless to say I probably won't be getting a picture of Conner with Santa this year!

This week Covin came home from school and said he got called to the office. I asked him why? He said because he is in 6 clubs! I didn't understand what that meant. He got a prize for being in 6 clubs at school. Every couple of weeks the teachers test them on a few things and if the master it they get called to the office and the principle gives them a certificate and a prize. But this was a better prize he got a little truck. So far he got certificates for
