So tired tonight..

This going to be a quick post of pictures tonight. Bubby was sick most of the weekend and honestly the news has been depressing me as well. We did Santa express today. The little guy had no clue until we got there. So surprised. I'll post pictures tomorrow. I just realized I never took a picture of jingle bells today. Ugh!
Hope everyone had a great weekend.

Day15

Our Star Wars Advent calendar Lego toys for yesterday and today. I'll have to post what the elf did some time later. I already shut down my computer for the night. I've been blogging thru my phone this past month not the easiest thing do. Bubby spent most of the day lying on the couch. We are not sure if it's a cold or allergies. We missed out on the Santa train ride today. Poor thing. Today I just spent thinking about all of those families at Sandy Hook. I just can't wrap my brain around this horrible event yet.
Have a great night!

Elfing around.....Day 8

Today found our friend Jingle Bells making a mess. I woke up to this lovely mess in the kitchen. Please don't let that innocent looking face fool you. If you look closer you will notice he has powered sugar on his nose. I guess I shouldn't complain too much he did leave chocolate milk this time.

In our Star Wars calendar we finally found Luke Skywalker!!! Ok. Maybe it was more me than Bubby who was excited about that. When he opened the number 8 and saw Luke's picture on the flap and handed me the Lego pack I knew we had a problem. There was no way that package was Luke. The company must have put the wrong Lego pack in it. As luck would have it Bubby had to go to the bathroom. When he left the room I opened the big box to the advent and started looking thru all the trays until I found Luke. :) I just put the one we took out of the calendar in that date slot. I really hope that was the right one or else we are going to have fun looking for the right one. Haha!

Today was our 4th annual neighborhood cookie party exchange. I love when our hood gets together for parties. We really do have a great group of friends. This year we had some new neighbors so that made it even better. I realized when I got home I didn't take any pictures with my camera. I guess I was too busy eating. Ha!
Hope everyone had a great Saturday!

Wordless Wednesday

Day 5 of Peter Jingle Bells and the Star Wars advent.

Day 4~Up on a Ladder

Day 4 found Jingle Bells hanging out on a ladder on the wall. I have had a migraine for the last few days so luckily Jingle bells has been being nice to me and not making messes. Oh, Bubby decided to change his name to Peter. He's really into Peter Pan these days. I've been calling Elf Peter Jingle Bells. HaHa!

We also found this strange Star Wars Lego. I thought I knew everything Star Wars until I started this calendar. Every day I'm finding myself clueless. Ha!

So where did you find your Elf today?

Dec 3~it was Elf with the candlestick in the family room..

Day 3 found our pesky little friend on the candle stick in the family room. I think it was to keep a closer eye on all of us.

Bubby got this in his Star Wars advent. I have no clue what it is. Any ideas?

The red advent brought him Swedish fish. I'm sure sometime in the next hour I will regret that. Ha!

We had an usually warm December day today. 65 degrees. Way too warm for this time of year. Of course it left me with a horrible migraine so I believe it will be a shower and bed for this gal soon. Very soon.

Dec 2- second day of Elf

Day 2 of the 25 wonderful days of Jingle Bells found the pesky dude hanging out on my bakers rack. He did absolutely nothing wrong but he also brought absolutely nothing either. My son was very quick to point that out.

Day two of the Star Wars Lego calendar brought us this guy. Who I have no idea his name. At least I didn't have to google his directions like that jet fighter thingy.

I also remembered to do the other advent calendar tonight. Snaps for Mommy!


After months of speculating something was wrong with our friends we learned we were right. Unfortunately. They are separating. I feel horrible. Please keep them in your prayers. They have two children and it's been hard on all of them. The upcoming holidays are making it worse.

December 1st

Look who came back for the holiday season. Again. That pesky little Elf. At least this time he brought gifts. Last year all he did was cause trouble. Because it is December 1st it also means something else came for the holidays. The Advent calendar.

Bubby is always excited about this. He reminds bugs us non stop about opening a door each day. Let's hope I remember to fill it each day. As if an Elf and an advent calendar weren't enough to remember to do each night,I added another advent calendar.

Behold the Star Wars Lego calendar. Behind each door is a Lego set to put together. I was thinking the same thing. This woman either really loves Christmas or she is a nutcase. My money is on the nutcase. There is no way I am going to remember to move that Elf every night or put stuff in that red calendar or put Lego sets together.

P.S. funny story about the Star Wars calendar. Bubby opened the 1st door and pulled out the little pack of Lego's. I'm looking at the bag and wondering what the heck it makes. No directions. No picture. I do what any Mom would do who doesn't have a clue. I google the calendar. After looking for a while I found a video on the calender. As the woman is talking about the calendar I happen to notice that the picture of what its suppose to be is on the back of the 1st door! I can't believe I missed that. HA!

Anyone else do calendars?

Wordless/Wordful Wednesday~Advent Calendar Day 19

If you follow me on Twitter you know I woke up to a sick boy on Tuesday. You can tell he's not 100 percent but he begged to do his Advent calendar. 5 days until Christmas and the little guy is coming down with something. Ugh. I really hope it runs its course by Christmas. Honestly,I'm not surprised he is getting sick. We have very few Christmases that one of us isn't sick. It just hit me...we only have 5 days until Christmas! Yikes. Now I'm panicked.

P.S. Sorry about the quality of the picture I took it with my phone.
