Hodge Podge

I have been anti internet lately, so I have slacked on the updates and pictures. I mostly stalk and lurk on Pinterest and play Words With Friends on Facebook and that is about it. 



Trenton's 3rd grade concert. He really liked singing traditional songs this year.


 Benji, Joe and Rex taking a nice winter's nap.

Our Elf, Chippy, played some pretty neat tricks, but not all were committed to film. 

 He tied up the boys' shoes and hung them from the dining room light. 
A few day earlier, he put their undoes on the ceiling fan. That was a hoot!


 Christmas Eve Eve Chippy decorated the living room with lots of lights and garland. It was really beautiful.

 Here are the boys in there Christmas eve PJ's. They are wearing them constantly. 


 There was a big ole' storm last night, but a beautiful sunset before the mayhem commenced.



Christmas was wonderful and quiet. The boys got some awesome goodies and lots of noisy stuff. Rex got me a sewing machine which I am anxious to break in. I have ordered tons of fabric already and I am set to sew.

We are looking forward to 2012... Armageddon or not. :)  I think people are going to get a little nutty this year, but I think it will be great.

Gingerbread Girl and Chippy, Our Elf

 The boys had a blast decorating our ginger bread girl. They decided it, not me. 

 Finished product



I have created a cheaper version of Elf on a Shelf... we requested the plush elf instead of the other elf that comes with the book. It works very well. 
So, I present, Chippy, our Elf on the Shelf. 

Day one: He turned our milk blushing green!!!



 Day 2: He TP'd our tree!!! 

 


Day 3- He decided to be nice today and left the boys winter  watermelon toothpaste.

Chippy has been a fun addition to our holiday fun!

5 grateful things
PRAYER-choosing my attitude- Rex--a new day-enjoying the holidays
