Merriment . . .

Ms. Elf decided to keep an eye on Dave from the 'fridge, so she wrapped up in a towel and waited for him to get something out of the 'fridge in the morning:

6:00 AM

But (according to Dave) she couldn't resist one of these when she saw them in the 'fridge:

8:00 AM

That Dave is a FUNNY guy!!

 

 

 

 

 



Merriment, day four . . . and Game On!!!

Ms. Elf got mischievous and played with the toilet paper last night.

Here's how she greeted Dave this morning:

 

 

And here's how I found her later:

 

 

 

Dave said, "She got toilet paper stuck to the bottom of her feet."

Yep, game on!!

 

This is going to be a F-U-N December!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Merriment, day 3 . . . and an unexpected twist

Where was Ms. Elf first thing this morning, waiting for Dave to start his day?

In his coffee cup, waiting behind the cupboard door until he opened it up to have his first cup of coffee this morning!

 

But then when I got up a bit later . . .
here's how I found Ms. Elf:

Hmmm . . . good move, Dave!
Looks like this may be way more fun
than I had even imagined!!!!



Merriment

Introducing . . . the Elf at our house.

Ms. Elf showed up this morning, and left a note for Dave on the chalkboard. 

Dave asked me about it . . . "What's this?" 
In my best poker-face {which really, I have no poker face}, I said, "What?"

  The Elf's magic must have worked,
because Dave looked puzzled.

 Then he asked me, "Did Amy do this before she left yesterday?"  [My friend Amy had stopped by yesterday afternoon].

Again, I tried to put on a straight face and
told him I had no idea.

At that point I think he wasn't sure what the
heck was going on! 

Now I'm SURE I can't wait for tomorrow!

Oh how fun!!!



.

Is it bad that I want to get one of these "Elf on the Shelf" guys just for me?  With no kids in the house, it doesn't quite seem right . . . and yet, I keep thinking of all sorts of things for him to do that would amuse me tremendously . . .
 

A different kind of Christmas video

Merry Christmas to All!

Busy, busy, busy

'Twas the week before Christmas and all through the house,
Were crafts piled high that might not get done.
As I looked at all the things to do, I started to grouse,
"NEXT year I'll start earlier, and it will be more fun!"

Okay, that's not really how it went, but I am busy working on all the things I need to finish before now and the end of the week.  Haven't mailed the packages I need to mail yet, nor done even one card.  Oh well, it IS the thought that counts, right?!?!

Ho, Ho, ho!!!!!!!!!!

All I can say is Yikes again!

Wow, can it be December 14th and I haven't posted in two weeks?!?! Yes, it's true . . . Yikes!

'Tis the season to be BUSY!!

Well, here's a look at our GORGEOUS tree!

Yikes!

Yikes! December already!! How did that happen?!?!

Yikes!! Better get shopping! : )

90 Days!

Just read this on another blog:
"Do you know what today is?
It is the 25th...which means.......3 months (90 days) from today.......Christmas Day will be here!
YES!...it is 90 days till Christmas...Can you believe it?"

Have you started your crafting and/or shopping yet? Well, I have. I have my "notebook" ready....(the one that drives my sister crazy). I have everyone's name that I'm buying for on a separate page, and I write down ideas of what to buy or make for them. Then, when I'm out during the next 90 days, all I need to do is flip open my notebook and see what I've jotted down. It makes it so much easier for me during this season!

I also went to a class the other night and started a mini-book, which I would love to show here, but it is for a friend of mine, who might see this, and then it would ruin the surprise. But it is really cute! And quite unique. Maybe I can post a picture of it in January.

So, get going........only 90 more days!!! (Went to Costco today, and got into the spirit even more, because they, of course, have their Christmas decorations out and for sale. Gotta love it! Having worked for them before becoming a teacher, I know that they have the early-in, early-out philosophy, so I knew I'd see Christmas items for sale. Kind of fun to see, even in September, when the weather today was over 90 degrees here in Poway!)

Only 90 more days! : D
