Elf on a Shelf

This morning we had a special visitor, an elf from the North Pole. He had brought our family a special breakfast. We had snowballs, hot chocolate, candy canes and he brought each of the kids some special fuzzy socks! Mom threw in some bananas as well to eat with their breakfast. This new tradition was a hit today and they listened very closely while Mom read our new book 'Elf on a Shelf'. After the story was over we ha
d to think of a name for our elf. The kids talked about many different names but came up with the name 'BOB'.

The kids were convinced that his eyes we moving and watching each of them while they ate their breakfast. They each put on their new socks and went to brush their teeth. They were shocked when he moved in the front room when they returned. He is magical and will lose his magic if the kids touch him. He flies to the North Pole each night to tell Santa if the kids have been naughty or nice that day. But when he returns he is in a new spot and the kids have to see what new place he has taken as his for that day. This is going to be so much fun!

Learning to Hula

Today was a big day for Kaitlyn. We registered her for Kindergarten. It didn't quite go as planned for Mom though. We all got up early with Staci and took her to school. Then we got in line for the registration. Mom was feeling pretty good because we were like 12th one there. But as we waited for 45 minutes and got up to the front of the line they wouldn't put Kaitlyn's name on the list because we didn't have prove of our address. Mom wasn't aware that we needed it since we already have one child at the school and they should have this on file. They said they could give her the paperwork but that she couldn't be added to the list until they can verify where we live. Mom had to go home. She was furious and hoped that we could still get Kaitlyn into this school. Here in Pocatello they have open enrollment so you can take your kids where ever you want. This doesn't make any sense why it matters where you live then anyways but Mom hurried as quickly as she could...

This morning the kids all slept in but we had to get them going since today was going to be a busy day. We made pancakes & eggs for breakfast. After we ate it was time for Staci to say good bye to Cami & take her home. They had a fun sleepover although Staci has been one onwry girl every since. So it will be a few weeks before she can have another sleep over, that is for sure. We left to go and get Dad's new toy, a new BBQ grill. We got it at Costco for a little more money than Mom had originally thought when Dad started searching a few months ago. But this grill has everything; an oven, ice box, a searing station, griddle and more. It is everything Dad wants in a BBQ. But now Dad can do all the big cooking outside and not use up the kitchen for the big dinners that he puts on for people. Dad is a great cook and Mom's know this will get plenty of use. Well we got home and then had to get Xander changed to be ready for his big game. It was his first t-ball game today and...
