He's watching....

We adopted this cute little elf from our adventure at Gardner Village. He is Santa's little helper and reports to Santa each night on what he sees the kids doing each day. He will report the good and the bad. He also came with the cute storybook. He moves into a different location each night after he reports to the big guy at the North pole.



The holiday season has definitely begun. My sister-in-law Gail and I embarked on the Black Friday deals again this year. This is always a tradition for me and I will take who ever is willing and in town to come with me. Gail and I always have good luck together and we have fun breaking our normal scheduled life and living carefree for a few hours with no kids and husbands. This year did not disappoint either. We tried a first this year, we started on Thanksgiving night 9:30p and shopped until 8:00am on Friday. Well, I must clarify we stood in lines for over half the time, but it was all worth it. We had another crazy experience and will do again next year. So, I am ready to enjoy this Holiday season and the exciting things that come with it.

Gardner Village

We didn't make it out to this place for the Halloween witches so we had some free time last Saturday and made it to see the elfs. We happened to pick one of the worst weather days so far. We stayed through the wind, rain and snow. We completed the fun elf hunt, ate dinner at Archibald's and it definitely felt like we were in a winter wonderland.

Swim to stay busy...


For the first two weeks of our track break we kept busy with swimming lessons.
The kids looked forward to it everyday.
They both made some outstanding improvements in their skills.
