Where is that Elf (3) and (4)
So, it turns out that I might not be doing it everyday, I got the picture uploaded yesterday and then forgot about it. So our "where is that Elf" will be posted every couple of days. Anyway, tonight (4) Eddie is hiding in their favourite cereal, not before leaving a little surprise though...............
Nanny thought it would be funny to call Eddie and have him sneak some candy for the girls. When on the phone with Taylor they came up with this master plan and my Mum thought it was brilliant. So Eddie wrote these little notes and left their favourite sweets from England next to their beds. We will see if they listen to him and don't tell me in the morning.
This is the third night, Eddie was caught on a date!! He prepared a lovely tea party for him and his friend and sat in the fire place where he was very hard to find.

Where is that Elf (2)

Where is that Elf
Eddie has a great few weeks planned for his girls, and I will blog it all here, everyday. I'm going to do a "Where is that Elf" series. He will either be hiding or being naughty or maybe even both and you never know he might actually be caught doing something nice. He has a little surprise for the girls in the morning.
Today he is hiding in the Christmas Leg Lamp puzzle box
He hid these gifts in certain areas of the house.

I’m Home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have waited so long to be with you again, I’m so excited to spend another Christmas with my girls, I have thought of so many fun places to hide this year and I have a few surprises along the way (I hope your Mum and Dad don’t get mad).
I have been good at the North Pole this year, well not good good I suppose. Santa says I’m naughty, but I’m not the naughtiest elf that’s grape nut, he is real bad, at least I’m funny! Peaches is my best friend and she keeps me in line, I told her all about you. She has two children she looks out for called Raymond and Tuesday.
I can’t wait to watch you and report back to Santa each night, make sure you are extra good as I have to tell the truth or my magic will be taken away:(
I have a little surprise for you, you have to really think about the clues I’m giving you and you must NOT try and find your sisters gift. Don’t get upset if you can’t find it straight away, it’s a game and meant to be fun. Just ask me for a tip.
We are going to have the BEST Christmas!!!
See you when you find me

I'm Thankful For;
Oh, way too many things to blog but I down loaded my camera and found three gorgeous girls and an equally gorgeous apple pie. So first I'm thankful for Masie and her tom boy, tree climbing, pretty little self. Check out the acorn we found at the zoo still in its shell.
I'm thankful for my sweet Taylor who loves to snuggle with me on the rocking chair and read me her library books.
I'm thankful for my baby Hailey who LOVES to help me in the kitchen, and just chats and chats about everything.
Happy Thanksgiving!!

We have had so much fun this week creating thanksgiving pictures. Our wall is looking A.W.E.S.O.M.E but its coming down tomorrow so the daycare kids can have their stuff for their house:)
A little close up of our turkey and poem.
I was so proud of this creation, we dyed rice, mixed it all together and wrote what we were thankful for in glue and topped it with the rice.

The Egg Trick with Masie
Masie was such a good sport! Taylor was filming so sorry about the heads being cut off in the middle.
Book Review- Anna and the French Kiss
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I really enjoyed this book, it was an easy read and predictable but I secretly love that. The Author did keep you at suspense but in the end gave you want you were hoping for. To be honest I would have been very disappointed if it ended in any other way. I love reading a book and feeling right there in the scenes:-)

Feeding The Hungry
Unfortunately there are hungry people around the world. It is a sad but true fact that this very second children are crying with hunger pains, dying of starvation. It hurts my heart, it makes me think about what I have. I teach my children to think about the food they are eating, whether they like it or not they still go to bed with full and healthy tummy's. As much as I want to put a meal in front of every hungry child right now, I know its not possible. So instead of feeling overwhelmed, we put together a box and go to bed knowing that we have filled a few empty tummy's tonight. You can help too!
Hailey and Levi came to the store with me to pick up the items. Hailey took it very seriously and even told the check out lady that the food was for children with no food.

We had a lesson about where it was going and why, they learnt a lot and were excited to pack the box.

Family Picture
School pictures were not that bad this year, I have been so mad with them. My thought is yes you cant get a nice picture on every child every time, but you can make half an effort to try. This year they were good!! But seriously, who prices photography packages! They are stupid!! We got the basic package of one sheet with a few pictures for $20!![](//1.bp.blogspot.com/-NrtACFDZs2s/TrxIkpQA_LI/AAAAAAAAPhA/AFkgFtHFix4/s320/scan0004.jpg)

Like you Wouldnt have Done it
This is so mean but OMG its so funny.
The girls are in bed sleeping and I remember that Masie asked for a little heater in her room. Chris and I both went in their and Chris was all hyper and says "lets mess with her" So he started dancing all crazy and we were laughing so hard, and all of a sudden I shouted BOO!! and she sat up and saw us staring and laughing and her eyes got so wide and she shook her head and said really quiet "go, go". It was so much fun.
The other night we were just about to go to sleep when we heard howling only to find out it was Masie!! LOL.

A Little Late But
Saturday, November 5, 2011
Show 'n' Tell
Our animals sure know their way around school, I'm so happy that the girls get to show off their cool pets at school and educate their peers at the same time. Taylor's teacher emailed me and said they were reading a book about a rabbit and if we had time could we bring in Mango. We of course were delighted. But we had no box to carry him, we put the bunny in the Spiderman back pack and off we went, I unzipped it for a few seconds to get this cute picture.
I arrived at Taylor's class and they looked at me strange and a little boy said "you were meant to bring a bunny" I replied "I was, oops, I thought you just wanted to see me" they did a little nervous laugh. I then asked Mason what that noise was in his bag, I unzipped it and out jumps Mango. The kids went wild!

Its Not Very Often...
That the girls walk to school like this:
Blah!! I don't mind rain but when it is mixed with cold and dark it just makes it miserable. It took them 4 times as long to get to school this particular morning as they were going so slow to try and keep dry under their umbrella's. Then Taylor stepped in a puddle (heaven forbid) and started crying and refusing to move.
