Elf on the Shelf Day 7- 2013- Show their true colors

It looks like Snowflake and Holly are Buckeye fans too!! They are all set to watch the game tonight with their Buckeye apparel and snacks.

 Holly still needs to practice her "k"s . LOL

 Snowflake sporting that Ohio State tie.

Holly looks good in Scarlet and gray!

The elves will have to let us know how the game was, we have tickets for the Singing Christmas Tree tonight in Minot. 

Thank you for stopping by!!

Until later~

PS- Go Bucks!!

Decorating Day 6 Elf on the Shelf 2013

I guess we are not decking the halls fast enough for Snowflake and Holly! Last night as we were nestled all snug in our beds the elves were busy making things look festive.

 Really, Christmas balls on the snow people noses?? Oh you 2 funny elves. And it looks like we will not be putting our tree up tonight, they swiped a couple of the branches! It is good to see we have  at least one set of lights that works. LOL

I am not sure what the weather is like where you are, but it has been down right cold here!! This was the temperature this morning when I dropped the kids of at school. With the windchill we were at -40*!! We have about 5 inches of snow too. (It is hard to get a good measurement on the snow because of the wind blowing it.)

We have a busy weekend ahead of us, lots of exciting things for the kids (and us too!!) I hope you are enjoying the Christmas season!!
Thanks for stopping by!!
Until later~

It's a Charlie Brown Christmas with Elf on the Shelf Day 5 2013

Snowflake and Holly enjoyed watching A Charlie Brown Christmas with new friends last night!!

Looks like everyone, even poor old Charlie Brown is having a good time watching Christmas movies. It looks like Holly was not a very good hostess, I do not see any popcorn or sodas.

  Oh Snoopy, you are too cute!!

 So, now Hunter and Hailey wonder if the Peanut's gang will hang around, or if they will head back to the North Pole with the elves tonight. I told them we will have to wait and see.
Thanks for stopping by!!
Until later~

Cleaning Day with Elf on the Shelf Day 4, 2013

This morning the kids were up and looking for the elves 30 minutes before their normal wake up time. After a quick search of the living room, kitchen and office Hunter gave up and crawled into my nice warm bed. Hailey is more persistent and didn't give up until she found them.  She gave a yell to let us know she found Holly and Snowflake. I asked her where they were and what they were doing. She said they were in the bathroom and it looked like they were having their hair done?? Hunter jumped out of bed and went to see for himself. He reported back that the elves were not getting their hair done, but that they were cleaning the bathroom!! Yea, I may have done a little happy dance!
This mommy could get used to having the elves help out with the cleaning around here!!

 Looks like I won't have to clean the tub for a while, with Snowflake using all those cleaning products!

(By the way, this is the kids' bathroom. We ALL agreed on the frogs, the only thing we ALL agreed on. LOL)

 LOL, Holly is busy cleaning the mirror. I hope she doesn't leave any streaks!

The kids were supposed to stay after school today and work on Christmas stuff with the FFA students. Hubby and I were taking advantage of the extra couple of hours to do our Christmas shopping. Because of the weather the thing for the kids had been rescheduled for next week, well since hubby had the day off we went ahead and headed to town. I told Snowflake and Holly we would be gone several hours, for them to feel free to clean other rooms while we were gone. Yea, they didn't. LOL

Thanks for stopping by!!

Until later~

Elf on the Shelf Day 3, 2013 Under Construction!! Paper Towel Cabin

I guess fixing Hailey's Barbie car was something Snowflake enjoyed doing, and since he had daddy's toys out...............

 Hunter and Hailey have been getting up each morning, on their own- 30 minutes early, just to see what these 2 are doing!!
After finding the crazy elves this morning Hunter had to check the stockpile, only to find Holly and Snowflake had already found it and had borrowed a couple of things. Hunter thought it was hilarious that there is a roll of tp inside their paper products cabin!

 Yep, looks like the perfect size for two silly elves.

Holly, that hammer looks a little heavy for you. 

I hope that cabin withstands the windy/snowy conditions which continue to be in our weather forecast through tomorrow.

Thanks for stopping by!!

Until later~

Is there a Mechanic in the House? Elf on the Shelf Day 2, 2013

 The Barbie Bug has a tire that likes to fall off. Looks like Snowflake decided to take matters in his own hands and fix it, or at least try to. 

I am not sure what is wrong with the scooter, but Holly has it for Snowflake to work on next.

Hunter and Hailey loved the bandana. Nice touch, Snowflake.
A level? I guess it is important for the car to be level once the tire is back on it. LOL

Thanks for stopping by!!

Until later~

Elf on the Shelf Day 1-2013

 The kids were so surprised and happy to see Snowflake and Holly had made their return some time during the night. A few times during the past couple of weeks Hailey and Hunter had mentioned various things about our elves, but I think it was a total surprise to find them this morning.
  Hunter walked over to them several times and whispered some of his ideas of things for them to do.
 (I wish I had gotten a video, he was so sweet leaning in close, but not close enough to touch them, talking to them. It melted this mom's heart!!)

"We're back!" Spelled out in M&M's  Holly needs to practice making her "k's" the correct way.

I guess it must be a tradition now that the first morning is when the elves bring breakfast- Donuts and chocolate milk. (At least Hunter and Hailey were not heading off to school after that breakfast!!)

 

 Holly

Snowflake

I had promised Hailey that after church today we would get her tree up. So, the second she got home she reminded us about the tree. (The girl was a sight heading to the garage to get her tree- in her baby doll pj's and snow boots and coat.)

 Last year the kids each had a tree in their bedrooms for the first time. Hailey has a cute little  white tree with purple lights and pretty pink decorations.

LOL, funny girl!

 A little fairy.

All done.

 Hunter's has a skinny tree. A very skinny tree!! LOL

Hunter working on His tree. Snow on the ground does not mean you have to wear a shirt! LOL  (And YES!! my kids would live in jammies if possible!!)

He decorated it just like he wanted it!! 

Well, now that the kids' trees are done they can help with the rest of the decorations, and the other 2 trees.

With bad weather in the forecast for the next 3 days (maybe a foot of snow and -40*???) the elves left a little early this evening. It was a surprise after showers tonight to see Snowflake and Holly were already gone. We are hoping they use their magic to come back before morning.

Thanks for stopping by!!

Until later~
