Oh Deer!

Trophy Hunting

   
     This morning my children awoke to find ELFIE showing off his OUTDOORSMAN SKILLS. He seems to be quite aware that my husband HAS NOT had a successful hunting season this year and is testing out his own skills. Maybe I will have some venison for the freezer after all!

  

Full Metal Coat

Hold Your Fire!

     Looks like Elfie forgot his coat...er Full Metal Jacket...this morning. To my, World War II Infatuated, 8 Year Old Son's delight, he found little Elfie in full surrender mode against a massive number of MILITARY TROOPS and TANKS. But with his  unending courage he managed to smile through it all. Looks like Elfie will survive to cause mischief another day.

Elfie: I SURRENDER

Stuck on Band-Aids

     A little Band-Aid Love

     My 6 year old had received a sea shell from a little girl in his class yesterday. Jokingly, I asked if this little girl was his girlfriend, he says, "NOOOOO!!!"  (He still insists that I AM his girlfriend. Ha ha, LOVE that kid!) Anyway...back on track, he managed to cut himself a tiny bit on the bus with this shell. As soon as he got home he proceeded to the bathroom to get the band-aids. You-Know-Who must have been watching him like a hawk! This his how they found little Elphie this morning! He left quite a mess with the wrappers, too (and of course my kids refuse to pick up HIS mess.) 

Have a great Weekend!

Making Friends

     Yesterday was a CRAZY BUSY day, so I have TWO new Elfie pictures for you today!

     Yesterday Elfie was caught making photo copies of himself. Yes, there was even a picture of his little butt. I guess he got lonely and decided to make some friends! LOL! The kids thought this was absolutely hilarious. My daughter took the copies he made to school today to show everyone.

     Speaking of my daughter, she also took it upon her to design some clothes for her Elf as well as her friend's elf. I thought this was adorable! I don't have that picture though. If she brings it home I will have to scan and post it.

Butt shot on the right!

     Today Elfie was  found counting down the days until Christmas. Even this little guy can't wait! Can't wait for Christmas or can't wait to get away from my little Hellions? (Really my kids are not THAT bad!) Not quite sure...

Counting Down AND Upside Down!

Off to a meeting I go! We'll catch you tomorrow...after we catch up with Elfie! Happy Friday!!

   

Silent Night

     This morning little Elfie was showing off his "sensitive" side. The kids stumbled upon him rocking little Baby Jesus. Isn't that precious? I guess Mary has officially found a babysitter! I told the kids, "See? Elfie isn't so naughty after all!" To that my daughter replies, "That depends on if picks up the Nativity Set when he's done with it!" Lol...Always a crtitic!

     Their Undies Were Hung By The Chimney With Care,

They Obviously Knew old Elfie'd Been There!

   
      Well, this little Elfie was up to no good once again this morning. While the kids were sleeping, he hid the stockings and swapped them for the kids' UNDERWEAR! What a STINKER, huh!? (Sorry, I just couldn't resist that one.) My older two thought this was HILARIOUS, but my youngest, not so much. He was Mr. Sensitive this morning and was a bit embarrassed to have his underwear hanging in the family room. This strikes me as odd since any other day he more than happy to run around the house sporting nothing but his underwear! I would have thought my daughter would have been the one embarrassed about the underwear as she is 9 and really into the whole PRIVACY thing, but she giggled with delight when she saw what Elfie had done. Ah, well...I guess it goes to show, no matter how well you know your kids, you still can never 100% gauge their reaction. I am having such a blast with this elf thing!

Happy Elfing!

 Santa's Wonderland

     My husband and I, along with Grandma (who happens to be visiting), took the kids to see Santa yesterday at the Santa's Wonderland at Bass Pro Shop. It was a 3 1/2 hour wait but so much to do it wasn't much of a bother. My husband was all to happy to hang out and wait in this Hunting/Fishing Wonderland! Plenty for everyone to do...and buy.

      Well, after our 3 1/2 hours of waiting it was my kids' turn to see Santa. (Did I mention they were doing FREE pictures? Hence the long wait...not to mention there is NO HUNTING on Sundays here in VA so EVERYONE was out and about.) My kids got up to Santa and proceeded to tell him what a stinker little Elfie has been. He played along with the kids so well. He was really and AWESOME Santa!

Look at that! All three kids WITH SANTA! No one Terrified out of their minds AND they are ALL SMILING! And, as and added BONUS....they are all looking at the camera! This has never happened before, ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!

     

      Well, even after being tattled on by my children, it looks like little Elfie is at it again. My kids caught him playing Angry Birds this morning. Yep, even Santa's little helpers are addicted!  My 6 year old son REALLY got a kick out this!

     

 HAVE A GREAT DAY, ALL!
