2010 Elf Mischief at our house :) Day 3

The elves worked really hard last night on creating an advent calendar for the kids, they left a note saying they saw that the shoe organizer on mom's closet door looked perfect for the project with its 24 little pouches.  They gathered a few more supplies from the box of sewing trim that Gramma passed on to mommy from Angeline's collection of treasures. 

They made number cards using the cute candy cane numbers mom had just downloaded from http://jilldzines.blogspot.com/ and wrapped a few gifts to add some color.   

They left a note telling the kids that they would be adding more gifts over the next few days, because with mom staying up so late they did not have much time to work on it Ha Ha Ha Ha...

They also said that Elvin's little brother had been begging to come visit our house, so they asked Santa if it would be ok for him to come this year, Santa said he thought it would be a great idea to let, Marley help keep watch over the advent calendar, each day his job is to move to the right number to help us count down to Christmas.  Hopefully he does not cause any trouble while he is here!

Eliana brought Trixie to school today for show and tell, While the kids were at school and mom was off running erands all morning, Elvin, Skeeter and Marley gathered a few more gifts for in the advent calendar.

And Skeeter gathered supplies for some little Elf Kiss treats the kids could deliver to their friends when this freezing cold windy stops blowing and they can get out and Jingle them!

2010 Christmas Season ~Elfcapades~ Bum foot

Thursday night, Elvin felt pretty bad about Preston's foot, he made himself a cast out of all of Preston's legos

2010 Christmas Season!! Elfcapades! Happy Birthday to PD

A month or so ago, PD wrote Santa a letter asking him if his elf, Elvin could please come visit for his birthday on Thanksgiving..

Today he turned 8, and he was beyond excited to wake up and find Elvin WITH a present for him this morning!

And this picture pretty much shows how thrilled he was with the Lego Advent that Elvin brought him, he cannot wait for December 1st to hurry up and get here so that he can open the first one...

Sadly after our Thanksgiving dinner tonight, the birthday boy was outside playing and I think he broke his foot kicking at ice.  Looks like I will be taking him to the doctor in the morning instead of heading out for black friday..

2010 Month of the Elf, First Day of School

Skeeter, Elvin and Trixie helped pack the kids backpacks for their first day of school!

2010 Month of the Elf, A Trip To The Cabin

The kids and I took a trip up to our cabin for the holiday weekend, We were pretty busy all weekend, and the kids had no idea that the elves had came along, until our last day, we were walking back to the cabin from the dock, when my DD5 spotted the elves in the woods, playing on thier fort I LOVE the excitement beeming from their smiles!!

2010 Month of the Elf, Day 4

WOO HOO we are FAMOUS!! Skeeter, Elvin, and Trixie were featured over on The Rudolph Day blog!!

To Celebrate they had a little dance party using L's laugh and learn desk/keyboard, you can't see in the picture but Skeeter had a bunch of pins in his feet, the kids had spilled moms box of pins earlier and missed a few while cleaning them up with magnets and poor Skeeter got them in his foot :(

The Elves left the kids a note that they would have to go up to the North Pole for a few days, but they would try to make it back by Wednesday when they go to the State Fair!

2010 Month of the Elf, Day 2

Today was the start of the Minnesota State Fair. Local TV coverage on it was Crazy, apparently the Elves were a bit jealous of all the rides and thought they needed to go for a little ride.

They left a note for the kids and asked Preston to read them a bedtime story tonight :)

2010 Month of the Elf, Day 1

To kick off the month of the Elf, Trixie and Elvin got into Preston and Eliana's school supplies and art sets, Elvin did not want to use the Princess chair so he pushed it accross the room and stacked up a few of the supplies he found in PD's backpack to make himeself a chair. They left the kids a note telling them that The Big Guy, said that the next month was extra special for elves that scored excellent in the Magic Elf program, that they would get to count down the days until the 100th day before Christmas with their holiday family and since we have this HUGE new house the elves should be sure to help us get into celebration mode! they also told them that Skeeter is hiding and they should try to find him ;)







The Elves also came to visit back in June, when we bought our first home, the day we got our keys and walked in the onlything in the house were the Skeeter, Elvin and Trixie, they had set up the kids' Christmas trees in the livingroom to welcome them HOME!!
