Christmas Magic

Logan made this adorable ornament at school and brought it home in a special bag with wrapping. I couldn't imagine what it was as the kids had been bringing stuff home off and on for about a week for Christmas. Took me a second to a read the tag to figure these just weren't snowmen, they were snowmen made out of a hand print! Duh mom!! Goes to show how little his hands still are! There is a very cute poem that goes with it, if you put your glasses on you might be able to read it, I won't bore you with writing it all. Someday when he's through elementary school and such I will read this and cry.
This is our Elf on the Shelf. Clever little idea 2 women had. For those of you that live under a rock like me (apparently everyone has heard of these), he's a elf you adopt from Hallmark, name him and his job is to watch the children's behavior and report to santa every night! PERFECT! Now every morning he is in a different place when he returns (trust me, you will forget to move him at least once, therefore you will be up at 6:30am like me today on cmas break to move him). The kids are not allowed to touch him and he's not allowed to talk back to the children. There is a great book that comes with him to read to the children. He's got one of my children so paranoid, she gave him her candy bar that the principal handed out for cmas to all the children!! Works like a charm and I suggested he stay out all yr. round!

Well this is crunch week. I need to crunch wrapping, baking and some desperate house cleaning. I think I can do it, we shall see. Made hair appts. for all of us this week, of course at different day/times, so that messes up my days too!

This may be the last post till after Cmas, so i want to wish you all a Very Merry Christmas!!
