What I’m Getting My Kids for Christmas 2022

valmanwillLeave a comment

I always love the “What I got my kids for Christmas” vlogs. But I don’t want to make a vlog because my kids would inevitably see that. But I realized I had never really done that on my blog before (uhhh that I can remember. Did you know that I’ve had my blog for more than five years now??? CRAZY)
SO ANYWAY, I wrote it down on my list of things to potentially write about.
But… I didn’t realize that in writing it…. I would have to expose the truth about myself…

That I’m a little crazy about Christmas.

“A little”.

So here’s the truth. I LOVE BEING SANTA. SANTA FOR DAYZZZZZZ. CHRISTMAS PRESENTS FOR DAYS!!! I started planning this after my birthday in August! My Amazon Christmas list was finished by September. I had it shared with the grandmas by October LET’S GOOOOOOO HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALLLLLLLLL. HO HO HOOOOOOO


I have a whole dang tier system this year.


TIER FIVE: TRADITIONAL CHRISTMAS PRESENTS.

Customized stockings with their names on it filled with fidget toys, candy, “Cat’s Vs. Pickles”! Matching woodland creature jammies! A new everyday outfit. Actually MAKE THAT TWO! I’m getting my six year old a LankyBox T-shirt AND Unspeakable shirt. There is no YouTuber too irritating for Christmas this year! My four year old gets a BabyBus Rescue Team tee AND a shirt with a “shivering snowman” on it (his seasonal obsession).


TIER FOUR! LOWER TIER SANTA PRESENTS THAT CAN BE SHARED!

We got coloring books. We got toy bugs. We got water balloons even though it’s freezing outside. You want Aaron Reynolds?? We got Creepy Carrots AND Creepy Crayon! We got a new soccer ball AND net! We got a big magic mat you can draw on with water markers! You never played with a Stomp Rocket before?? WELL NOW YOU CAN!! AFTER YOU PLAY ANTS IN THE PANTS AND DON’T SPILL THE BEANS!!


TIER THREE! SLIGHTLY MORE EXPENSIVE AND INDIVIDUAL PRESENTS FROM SANTA!

I don’t care that all you asked for is a watch and a single car. YOU’RE GETTING A TOY LAPTOP AND A MAZE BOOK TOO! And both of y’all need new shoes. So how about Mario on the right foot and Luigi on the left! How about a pair of CONSTRUCTION CAR SHOES! And then a car that you can take apart like the mini mechanic you are! Just because you’re six months old doesn’t mean you shouldn’t get this COOL MONTESSORI TISSUE BOX, where each pretend crinkly tissue is a different theme. Or how about a toy fabric oven with a squeaky cookie inside?!


TIER TWO! PRESENTS FROM MOM AND DAD UNDER THE TREE!

Oh so you love those irritating YouTubers so much you wanna be one? Well DADDY GOT YOU A KIDDIE INFLUENCER CAMERA SET! And you haven’t had enough cars yet? GOOD! DADDY GOT YOU A WHOLE POLICE INTERACTIVE STATION Hey, baby girl I hope you like your ENTIRE NEW WARDROBE!


TIER ONE! THE COUP DE GRAS!

And last but not least. You know what you two boys need? A GIANT TWO SEATER POWER WHEELS JEEP VROOM VROOM!! MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND TO ALL A CONSUMERISM WET DREAM.

Kids Say the Darndest (Oct 2021)

Jack kept requesting this video that he called “Stinky Nose”. And we could not figure out for the life of us what “Stinky Nose” was. We were typing it full out into the YouTube search and everything and couldn’t find it. Then finally we discovered that it was a video where they put “sticky notes” all over someone’s house and apparently Jack thinks they’re called “stinky nose”.

Right after installing our Google assistant:
CASEY: Hey Google, can I have a cookie?

ME: Tomorrow you’re going to be three!
CASEY: No, I’m not going to be three. I’m going to be fourteen.
JACK: Then you would be a grown-up

ME: How old are you?
CASEY: THREE!
ME: That’s right! *goes to give a high five*
CASEY: No, this many. *puts two of my fingers down*

JACK: (out of nowhere) We don’t flush cats down the toilet right?
ME: … what?
JACK: Because then people would be sad their pet was gone.

GRANDMA: It’s available for pick up
CASEY: No not “pick up”, it’s called a “hiccup”, grandma.

*Opens a dumdum sucker.*
JACK: Ooh that looks like Saturn!

Found out this month that both of my kids think a mummy is called a “mommy”.

DAN: (teasing) Are you a bus?
CASEY: No, I’m a Casey
DAN: *grabs his foot* Is this your tire?
CASEY: …
*a full minute later*
CASEY: (to himself) I’m a bus.

JACK: I like you
ME: I like you too!
JACK: Yeah we both like us!

The 20 Worst Things About Playing ‘Among Us’

valmanwillLeave a comment

My family and I are in love with this little game… but there are definitely some downsides… here are the top 20 worst parts about playing ‘Among Us’ online:

1 .02 seconds after everyone pops into your room and start bombarding the chat with this

RED: Start

PURPLE: Start

YELLOW: strt

RED: Start

RED: Start

YELLOW: strt pls

2 But then half of the players bail the same second they find out they’re not The Imposter

SelfAbsorbed has just left the game.

3 When someone slams the emergency button just to tell you this

WHITE: Guys, I have scan. Watch me?

4 Or when someone comes on the chat with this bullcrap

LIME: Who wants to date? How old are you?

CYAN: 12

LIME: Cool! Uh yeah, me too.

ME:

5 And all the preteens make fun of you when you lecture them not to give out their personal info

CYAN: lol it’s my phone number not my social security number

6 When you witness and report the murder and everyone votes you off instead

BLACK: self report

7 When none of the other ghosts want to have a spooky side chat

PURPLE: Pink did me, who killed u?

8 When The Imposter executes a perfect “stack kill” and you can’t tell who it was.

RED: skip i guess

BROWN: skip

9 When you’re fixing wires and you see someone run up behind you

10 When The Imposter keeps turning the lights off but AIN’T NO WAY YOU GOIN INTO THE DARK ELECTRIC ROOM TO FIX IT

11 When you sus the wrong person and then you look sus for getting them thrown off

12 When someone dies and their pet mourns them in the cafeteria

13 When the settings are on 3,800 tasks rather than 4-5

14 Or when the voting time is a full ten minutes…

15 And there’s always that one guy who takes the full ten minutes to vote

RED: BLUE!!! VOTE!!

PINK: Kick him!!

16. When the speed isn’t what you’re used to and you’re either crawling through mud or slamming around like a pinball

ORANGE: Purple sus he was running into walls instead of fixing reactor

PURPLE: Bruh! This 3X player speed is out of control!

17. When you’re waiting for the game to start and someone asks

BROWN: Hey can I have pink?

18. Even worse when someone responds with

PINK: No.

19. When someone shows up with the same cheese hat as you and you have to change into a pair of candy canes

20. When it’s two in the morning and you finally have to stop playing

ME: Okay one more game.

ME: Okay one more.

ME: One more game.
