The Elf happenings... Days 9, 10 and 11...

That silly elf has been up to all kinds of trouble the last few days...
On day 9: he got into the Chex cereal and got it all over the house!

Day 10: he put post-it's all over the kitchen!

Day 11: He is sitting up in the light in the dining room and he sprinkled magic all over the house!

Tomorrow begins the 12 days of Christmas! Cannot wait to see what that brings!

3 days of Elf happenings... days 6, 7, and 8!

Monday this is what we woke up to!

The girls were surprised to see toilet paper everywhere!

Our Elf, Diego Sparkle has been quiet mischievous the last few days! Thank goodness Tuesday he was actually nice and cleaned up the books and organized them. Wednesday was a different story....

Nutmeg all over my kitchen!

An elf cooking is a bad idea! He has a devilish streak!

School Ornaments

Today we crafted our ornaments that we take to school to leave there forever!
The girls "scrapbooked" their ornaments and that has inspired me to do some for the Grandparents with handprints. 

Such crafty Sassy Spalding's we have. 

The Elf happenings day 5...

Diego Sparkle also brought us a book for Kailee to read to us.

... a special little elf was hearing that a Gracie was doubting her belief in Santa, so he proved to her that he is real. She seen a pink Christmas tree on TV that she loved and said quietly,  "Santa I would like one of those."
...so now we have a pink Christmas tree. It's pretty and perfect for 2 little girls!
... The Return of Light is a great book that Kailee is enjoying reading to all of us.

The Elf happenings day 4... using mom's camera...

...in Gracie's blankie.

...in the Christmas tree with a picture of the Sassy Spalding's.

...with another picture of those Sassy Spalding's.

...on my Christmas shelf.

...in my fragile ceramic box.

...on the decoration he put up.

...with Kailee's bear-bear.

...in the little Christmas tree.

I don't know but I'm not too thrilled that he's flying around with my camera in tow...

The Elf happenings day 3...

... a special note was left for 2 very good girls... Diego Sparkle left 2 small stuffed animals. Cute ones at that. A small blue penguin with big eyes and a small reindeer named Comet (whose birthday is today). He hid himself up on my plate shelf. It is note worthy to say that at 5:30 a.m. 2 excited little girls came in wake me up to share this very fun information too.

Cough drops and Medicine

Poor little Gus-Gus is sick today. 

She was up a lot in the night with an icky cough.

So we went to the doctor today and she has a sinus infection.

We went and picked up some citrus cough drops and medicine. 

She's been a good little patient though.
All she wants is snuggles and to be cozy... and a little laughter.

Elf happenings...

2 little girls woke up to undies on the Christmas tree

and a trail of them from their room... silly Elf!

Perfect Ending

A little Winnie the Pooh and Christmas Too movie before bedtime. 

Nothing like a little snuggling to end the evening.

The Elf happenings...

Today the Elf: Diego Sparkle has made his way into the playroom since the Sassy Spalding's cleaned it up. He decorated with lights and garland. It was just enough to give it a little Christmas cheer. Every room in our home has been "Diego Sparkle'd" ... oh that little Elf.

December Snow...

Twas the first of December about four thirty two and all of a sudden it started to snow. Previous to that was a rainy snow mix that when I thought of my girls on the school bus just gave me a fit. The hoping and praying for ice to form so a snow day can be had it's a far reach but so is wanting to go to the beach. We're snuggled in tight, all fuzzy and warm. There's nothing we need. There's nothing we want but a day to stay home and snuggle and play. Here's to hoping and praying. To wishes and dreams. We're doing our snow dance for snow, snow, snow...
