Drummer Boy...

In my last post I shared with you about a special gift Santa brought for our oldest son...a MN Wild game along with tickets to a game. We attended the game a few nights ago and I'm happy to report that the Wild one in an exciting shootout! So, today I thought I'd share what Santa brought for our youngest little man...a DRUM SET! Oh, yes you read that right. A drum set! We went to visit Santa Clause a week before Christmas and there were several things on our youngest son's list but up until that point there was not one mention of a drum set. It wasn't until we were standing in line to see Santa that our youngest son said what he wanted more than anything was a drum set. I wish someone could have captured the look on our faces as my husband and I stood there staring at him in shock. When it was his turn to sit on Santa's lap he climbed up and as soon as Santa asked what he wanted this year he nervously replied with "a drum set". Santa looked over at us with a look that showed absolutely no sympathy:

Somehow Santa and his elves were able to scrounge up a drum set in that final week before Christmas and I must say that I'm mighty glad they did! Although it's been loud around here, our little man absolutely loves playing the drums and I think it's something he'll enjoy for many years to come.

Today's "drum set" lunch includes: ham/cheese drum sandwich, strawberries/blueberries, cucumbers, chocolate covered almonds & trail mix (Jay Robb protein bar, sugar free chocolate chips & cheerios) packed in the Planet Lunch Box
