I totally suck at elf on a shelf. It took me a while to finally remember to put him out and then once I did...I couldn't remember to move him around. Luckily, the resident 15 year old is helping me so Hank has been moved a few times. Here are the times I also remembered to snap a picture of Hank and his whereabouts...
He's holding a super cool fly swatter I found at Bass Pro Shops a few years back. Crazy guy...
Hanging onto the mistletoe crystal.....
Flirting with Barbie looking at the Nativity under the tree and the lights on the tree...
the last two days Hank has spent hanging upside down from one of the blades on the ceiling fan. We forgot to move him so we told Bella the weather was too bad for him to make the trip back to the North Pole. #lazyasses #bigfatliars
Last weekend I gave myself a present and had my hair done. Man, I always feel good when I get my hair done. I don't keep up with it like I should so its always a treat for me. I went darker and here's the end result...
Still some blonde highlights cuz I'm not ready to let go completely. Been a blonde all my life but I do like having some dark thrown in there.
Later that night Bella and I got in our jammies, popped some popcorn and headed out to look at Christmas lights.
I started this tradition years ago when Christopher was little and continued it with Miss Bella. We couldn't talk Chris into going with us this year but we had fun with just us girls :) Jammies and popcorn are a must! My kids have never been fans of hot chocolate so we take an ice cold Dr. Pepper with us as our drink instead. I did stop at Mickey D's to get a coffee for myself this year :).
Since this is the last week of school before the Christmas Break, Bella's class is doing lots of fun stuff. Tuesday, they had to dress like a reindeer. I could have sworn we had antlers but I couldn't find them so I gave her two ponytails and told her to tell everyone they were her antlers. I also put some red lipstick on her nose to look like Rudolph. She wanted her entire nose red...little stinkpot!
I love this little mess....
Today they get out of school early and I sure wish I could leave work early to spend more time with them before they head to their dad's. They will be with him until Monday but I will have them for Christmas and I will be on vacation the minute I leave work the 24th until January 5th!! WooHoo!!
I always wish for 5 minutes to myself but when I do get it, I have no idea what to do with myself because its so dang quiet and I miss my babies so much. I plan on wrapping some presents, picking up the house because there's stuff everywhere and maybe do some baking. And you know Christmas movies via the Hallmark Channel or Lifetime will constantly be on. Going to enjoy my time.
Almost forgot, a couple weeks ago Chris had his Fall Sports Banquet so I went with him. He sat with his friends and my sister was kind enough to let me sit with her. We took some pictures afterward...
Look at my handsome boy....
and with his Godmother, my sister :)
So proud. He didn't win any awards but was recognize for running with Cross Country on the JV team. Since sister and I were at the awards and its not really any fun for our younger ones, they stayed with Pop and Nana who were ringing the bell at Kroger. Here's a pic of these cuties with Daddy and Lena....
That about sums up some of our time the last few weeks. I'm about 90% done with my shopping but will have to wait until pay day next week to finish up the rest. Last minute shopping is not my idea of fun but sometimes it happens that way.
Hope y'all are enjoying the season. Have a good one!
