Counting down

It's halloween in the United States today and Christmas will be here soon. I just looked at the count down and saw it is less than 2 months now!! Even closer till our break and we can go vivsit.
Hope they save us some candy.

A Surprise Visit

We decided to stop by for a surprise visit with the boys. We were really good, stayed out of trouble and just left a treat. We left a mail box for the boys w/ some Halloween candy in it and a note. We told them how many days till Halloween then how many days until we come. That middle boy BT is a smart cookie. We forgot the mail box we made at the North Pole so we got one at Ben Franklin and he found the receipt inside. Oops... We'll be more careful next time. We are really busy at Elf School but are so ready for a break. It's hard to be good all the time. Only 43 more days till Thanksgiving and our visit to Virginia.

It's getting close

All the elves and I are busy getting ready for our busy season here at the North Pole. We have learned so much since last Christmas but is so ready for our break. It's hard work drinking hot chocolate, learning the way to make toys, trying to come up with new ideas for toys, making that little turn in candy canes without breaking them, playing in the snow, and cleaning reinderr poo.

We can't wait for November to see the boys again. (and play w/ their toys)

mmmmm Chocolate

Wed night 12/10

It was chilly outside and we wanted some hot chocolate. We used to drink it all the time at home. They made the best hot chocolate at the North Pole, real chocolate, warm milk, yum!! Well all we could find here was a can of the powerded stuff. We found some small mugs that were just our size and marshmellows. Ok so they were halloween marshmellows but it was all we could find. Plus it was fun to play w/ the different shapes and thow them at each other. Well we made a mess and of all things Charlie decided to make angels in the mix that we spilled. It looked like a lot of fun and boy does he still smell good.

steady hands

Tuesday night 12/9

Well we were peeking under the tree and found a bucket of dominos that Evan wanted his mom to wrap. I decided to open it up and play w/ them.

Charlie and I had a lot of fun building and toppling dominos. JJ built his own towers and watched up. We tried to keep him from knocking over out stuff. The boys woke up right before we toppled a big tree. We got to watch them topple it though. It almost worked only the outside lines didn't fall down right.

updating my blog

Monday Night
Well my brothers are really tired so I decided to let them sleep while I updated the blog. It's hard for me to get on line every night to update this thing. It's been a lot of fun staying here. The boys have lots of fun stuff to play with and we love the Christmas decorations in the house.

It's Snowing

Sunday night.
We really miss the snow that we have all the time at the North Pole so we decided to make it snow. We made a bunch of different snowflakes and hung them all over the boys walls. We really need to make more to make it feel like home but it's a start. I suggest to J. (as he signs his notes) that they make and hang more.
Charlie got into the tape though and had more all over him than he gave to me to hang the snowflakes. I hear Baylor is just like that with the tape though. I guess they are a good match that way.
