It's not to early is it...?

to start using Santa Claus threats with your kids. Maybe I'm a cruel mother, but yesterday I found myself using the good old "you know who's making their list don't you?" line with Isaac. I never thought I would be the kind of Mom to use threats and bribes. But hey, you have to admit they work pretty well. I just hope I'm not jumping the gun. I don't want the effectiveness to wear off before the Holidays.

Michelle, thank you so much for the card and the candy! I was so surprised and excited when there was something for me on my doorstep!! I'm really sorry that I missed you though. :( I love you. You are like a sister to me and I will always think of you like that. You aren't just my cousin in law ha. Thanks again, and I hope that I will see you soon!!!

lol...Tori is still a little young but I am sure it won't be long before I am using it too (next year)! Hilarious! When you are a stay at home mom you have to figure out what works and use it otherwise you might go CRAZY!

Not too early at all...I use that line w/Madison all the time:) I'm so mean I also tell her I'm going to call the North Pole and tell them to put her on their naughty list...I know I'm horrible:) Whatever works, right?LOL.

Ha, you are so cute! Sorry, I know what it is like to deal with a frustrated husband when it comes to politics, because Tyler is so MAD too! But, I am not stuck in Panaca with him, so I feel more sorry for you...lol!

Sorry we never got together when you were here last week. Give me a call on my cell tomorrow - we need to catch up! I hope things are going well for you. When do you come home? I know nothing, we need to chat - I am feeling out of touch! :)

I can't believe I haven't been using this already myself! Usually by halloween I am telling the kids that I have santa's cell phone number & Im not afraid to use it.
