Elf on the Shelf, December 6th, 2014

Milo fortunately decided to use chocolate sprinkles to make sprinkle angel. His elf comrades have occasionally used flour and I think Milo is smart enough to know that would destroy his red felt uniform…

Because, somehow, even Milo still wants to keep singing that song…

Elf on the Shelf, December 2nd, 2014

This morning Milo had Jenga-ed himself into a maze of wooden Jenga blocks. It’s amazing that the cat didn’t disassemble things for him…

He’s Back! Elf on the Shelf, December 1st, 2014.

Our elf, Milo, merely sits on a shelf (as he’s technically supposed to) on December 1st. Avery and Ainsley can’t wait for another year with him :)

Collage of Elf on Shelf Ideas from 2013

These appeared separately on my blog last December, but I always get many hits during the holiday season from people looking for Elf on the Shelf ideas, so I thought I’d put last year’s into a collage like I’ve done in the past. Here goes :)

Avery’s 10th Birthday

I officially do not make a good blogger :) It’s tough to find the time! I have lots of my daily project photos to catch up on. I thought I’d share some photos from Avery’s 10th birthday party yesterday. I hadn’t put this much effort into a birthday party in a long time. I figured her 10th was a special one, so we’ve all been working hard on the planning for a couple of weeks.

Her wish was to have as many friends as possible play Minecraft simultaneously on our wifi. We discovered that only 5 kids can join a “world” at a time – or at least that’s the conclusion the kids came to. We went with the Minecraft theme – which was actually quite easy and inexpensive to pull off. Pinterest is enormously helpful for things like this ;)

365 Project for June 2014

Since I’m terrible about posting even once a month, making a collage of a month after it’s over seems to be easier to manage for me… it’s also a complete disaster behind the scenes on my blog – I just had to mark 1,684 comments as spam out of 1,684 comments total, working with 20 at a time. UGHHHHH. I need to figure out how to do a ‘captcha’ or something.
