Pick-up Lines

The boys were getting ready to leave for an afternoon of fun with the grandparents.

I was sitting on the floor putting Owen's shoes on and when I finished I said, "Can I have a kiss?"

He ran away but Nathan said without missing a beat, "I'll have an order of that," and he kissed me before I could say or do anything.

He is so funny. Grandad seems to think that Nathan will have a lot of great pick-up lines when he gets older!

The last of the Elves

Here are the last few pictures of the elves.

 Thank goodness Dry Erase Markers come off of mirrors so easily.  They drew an elf hat and ears and "Elf Yourself" on the mirror.  The kids got a kick out of that.

 Marshmallo-cuzzi.  The kids enjoyed a few mallows before breakfast.

 Eeww!  Actually, the kids just thought the turned the water green, without bodily functions.

We had fun with the elves this year. 

Not Me!

We were sitting at the dinner table.

The two older boys were telling me about a Phineas and Ferb episode and were singing the song in it.  But they were changing the words. 

Instead of saying, "Gitchie, gitchie goo means that I love you," Rylan said, "Gitchie, gitchie goo means I poop on you."

Owen, who is in full potty-training mode looked down at his pants and said, "Not me!"

Elves Update

These elves have been busy lately.  The other night, we found they had made a zip line from the light to the fan.  One was even using a candy cane as a hook.

Another morning, they were bungee jumping?!

Apparently they had a little campfire and roasted some marshmallows.  The kids enjoyed eating their left over marshmallows in the morning.

And last night, when the kids were sleeping over Grandma and Grandad's house, the elves crept into the kids' beds and slept there all night cuddles up in their covers.  The kids figured that they must have really missed them!

Green Milk and Cookies

The elves were apparently hungry last night and baked some cookies.



They had some milk and turned it green!

This morning, the milk was back in the fridge but one of the elves were hanging on the door handle, while the other two were still eating cookies.

Underwear Everywhere!

The stockings underwear were hung by the chimney with care.



Silly little elves.

The kids were going crazy with this.  It was a fun morning.

The Elves are Back in Town!

The elves are back for Christmas! They came in last night and decorated the boys' room with balloons everywhere, streamers hanging from the fan and left a bunch of candy canes for the tree.

Later, they played "Cannon Ball" into the balloons with the boys.  I was able to catch a picture of one mid-air.  These elves are going to be tired by the time they leave!

The boys keep saying, "I can't believe the elves are back! I thought they weren't coming!"

They are soooo excited!
