Santa Claus and Pizza Chips #HappyHolidays

You know when you have those conversations with your child and they stump you?

Like the other night I told Mr 4 that there was no gravity on the moon. He asked how a rocket can land and stay there then…. (hmmm, google…google, google!)

Last night, he got me again but in one of those conversations that I was not ready for.

Mr 4: I want a red dinosaur and a green dino for Christmas.

Me: You know honey, we don’t always get what we want…it may just be one dinosaur, it may be none!

Mr 4: Why do we donate our toys?

Me: Because some boys and girls aren’t as fortunate as you…

Mr 4: Why doesn’t Santa just give them toys? Why do they need ours?

Me: Crap. Thinking…thinking…thinking… and then the best thing I could say…

Me: I don’t know…maybe they were naughty? (WHAT?!!!!! Who says that? Uhm, I did!)

Mr 4: Then why should we give them our toys?

Me: Don’t you need some sleep?

Mr 4: Is Santa real mom?

Me: What do you think?

Mr 4: Yes

Me: Okay then, good night honey. (Gulp!)

Don't Panic!

I was really not ready for that conversation with my four year old! Isn’t it supposed to be magical still?

Seriously, I believed in Santa until I was 11! And guess what? I STILL DO!

Hello, you big, cute red ball of fluff! I love you!

In the exercise world, I feel I may have moved up. 🙂

On the schedule was walk 2 miles. Very, very cool however I knew I wasn’t going to have a moment in the day to walk two miles by myself. Nope. Not a chance. So, I did the next best awesome thing possible, I turned on the TV.

To my favorite ON DEMAND exercising program.

Welcome, 1 Mile Walk with Kendra Kemerley.

It wasn’t a walk, this is so stupid, kind of video. It actually made me sweat a few beads. I did it twice and the kids actually participated!

Okay, in their own way. They were more or less running laps and passing me by, but hey, we turned our homeschool into gym class so that was a SUCCESS!

Finally, an awesome MBB fan asked for the recipe for my pizza chips so I had to make up a batch. They were a delicious yummy lunch today.

Yum…yum and easy.

Okay, so it looks like a big old pizza instead of chips. What makes it a chip? The awesome crunch of course! You wouldn’t want to bite in a soft chip right?

Ingredients:

  • flour tortillas
  • favorite sauce
  • Parmesan cheese
  • Favorite seasoning toppings

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees

Add a thin layer of sauce to the tortilla and top with cheese

Cut into 8 slices and pop into GREASED baking pan

Cook for 6-8 minutes

When it comes out…don’t be afraid smoother it in garlic salt (I do!) basil and red pepper flakes.

That’s totally how I eat my pizza.

The question of the day:

 When/how did you find out Mr. Claus was only in our hearts?

    I am afraid I don’t quite get the love of Santa. I never grew up with the story and I am not sure I will do it with my daughter. But then I am worried I will have “that kid” that tells all her friends there is no Santa. Because my parents worked in orphanages growing up I think it seemed in appropriate to have this story about Santa because of this very question your son asked. I read this great article that might help if he does question it to the point that you need to tell him. http://moms.popsugar.com/Telling-Kids-Truth-About-Santa-27332439
