Christmas eve eve

I knew it wasn't a good sign to see Jingle Bells holding markers. I was right. He had a little fun with the markers and our pictures. UGH!

Apparently he thinks we all look better with mustaches on our faces. Pesky thing! Santa better pick him up tomorrow or else I'm hiking to the North Pole with him strapped to my back.

I forgot to add our Star Wars advent piece of the day. I'm not sure if anyone else is stressing from the holidays but I can't wait for it to be over. I am so tired! Funny story. Our church had a Christmas Eve Eve service today. Our pastor while giving the sermon asks everyone what is the best part of Christmas. My son in his loudest voice stands up with his hands in the air and shouts"presents". Yep most of the church was cracking up over that. HAHA!

Happy Christmas Eve Eve!

I need a few more days....,

Today's elf antics. I can believe Christmas is in 2 days. Where did the time go??? And yes we will be out tomorrow shopping. We have all taken turns this past month with some funky sinus/allergy thing. Hubby is currently sick with it again. Needless to say we have a ton of things to do yet. Did I mention my Sister in law decided at the last minute to go in with the girls?? We only found out her flight time yesterday. Ugh.

Snowmen and the elf

This is where we found our pesky friend this morning. Meeting of the snow people? Makes me very nervous!

Star Wars advent lego of the day. I believe its the Falcon. Yea?

P.S. The snowmen are teacher presents I made. I'll blog more about them later.

Elf strikes again....

I was at my sewing machine sewing up teacher presents when I heard my 5 year olds voice. Mommy my elf made a mess. He was sneaking again. Yes he was! Toothpaste every where. Seriously can't wait for Santa to pick him up. Ugh!

This was our Star Wars advent calendar piece today. I never would have thought he would enjoy that so much. Honestly it's the first thing he asks to do when he wakes up in the morning. Even at 6am. Love it!

So had anyone been preparing for the end of the world tomorrow? I haven't even thought about it until today. I have too much going on to have to prepare for something else. I might have time next week. ;)
Night....

It didn't feel like a typical Monday...

Bubby didn't go to school on Friday due to his allergies( we think). Today was our first day back since the tragedy and the kids in Connecticut weighed heavy on my mind. I couldn't help but wonder how the parents were handling today. Were they wishing for a do over for Friday or wishing Monday never came. My heart aches for these parents. I wish there were some words of comfort I could offer but I know that's not what they want. They just want their children back. I pray they find comfort. Our schools had police offers posted and a school in another district went into lock down. I pray these innocent children and adults did not die in vain. It's time for America to wake up and realize we have a huge problem on our hands because if we don't this could unfortunately happen again. Tomorrow in honor of the victims the blogger world is going dark. We will not post for 24 hours or least try not to.
Chat on Wednesday.....

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!

Wordless Wednesday 12/12/12

Are you Elfin kidding me? Jingle Bells toilet papered our Christmas tree. How many more days until Santa picks his naughty butt up? Is it me or does he look a little smug???

Our Star Wars advent toy today. Everyone seems to think it's a Land Cruiser of some sort. What do you think?

12/12/12 Make a wish! It's so weird to write that and even weirder knowing in my life time that will never happen again. I know a lot of people who were playing the lottery today. I'm not a lotto person but I'm kind of kicking myself for not playing today.

Did anyone play it do something special?

Story time with Jingle Bells

Today Jingle Bells spent the day reading his friends a story. He was so quiet and blended on the shelf, we couldn't find him for much of the day.

Bubby found this Star Wars in his calendar. Hubby had to tell me it was Darth Vader's little ship. I'm not sure if we will be doing another Star Wars advent next year. This one has been so tough! I am so use to being a Barbie/brats mom that these Legos have been so challenging. Ha!

I realized this morning that it's 15 days until Christmas and I'm not sure if I am ready for it. I have so much wrapping to do and I still have 2 trees that I have to put up yet. The only cookies I have baked so far were the ones for our cookie exchange. I am such a slacker this year! Ha! Bubby had been bouncing off the walls. He has managed to get himself in trouble two days in a row at school. Sensory issues are tough on normal days but add the excitement of Christmas and it is rough!

Ok. Time to watch the Country awards. Have a great night!

Rainy day Sunday

Today found our pesky little friend hanging off our chandelier. He made me a nervous wreak up there. I just had visions of someone turning on the fan and either taking his little head off or just sending him airborne. I'm already on Santa's naughty list. The little dude over heard me say if JingleBells didn't stop his little antics I was going to kick his magical little butt back to the North Pole. Bubby got a call from Santa yesterday and ratted me out!

Can you blame me? First he leaves a powered sugar mess and then he thinks he's getting my coffee! Seriously that's just taking your life in your own hands. :)

We found this in our Star Wars Advent calender. I think it's the x-fighter. Or something like that.

We also made it to church today. The first time in months. I know. I know. No excuses to miss it. Bubby is no longer in the pre school classes. He is now in the kindergarten class and I was so nervous on how he would be. He seemed to really enjoy it! While we were there Hubby's dad was telling us who the guest speaker is going to be in the spring. Ready???? Drum roll..........Tim Tebow! Last spring we had George Bush so this doesn't surprise me. Our church has a knack of getting great speakers. I will have to do a separate blog post on our church because you will not believe the size of it. Let's just say we have our own coffee shop in it complete with a full size jungle gym. The kind you find at fast food places. Wait until you hear about the youth group wing! Wish my church growing up was like this one.

Have a great Sunday!

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!

Just hanging around....

Day 7 found our little Elf hanging on the chandelier. We also found this in our Star Wars Advent calendar. Some sort of thing to hold the weapons?? Haha! If anyone knows what it is please let me know.
