Elf on the Shelf

We adopted one of Santa's elf scouts this year. Tyler named our elf Tree skirt after the elf on Prep & Landing that Tyler thinks is hilarious. Santa's elf scouts go to the North Pole each night while the kids are sleeping to report back to Santa as to whether Tyler and Daphne have been naughty or nice. They return each day and we often find Tree Skirt up to mischief.

Monday, December 8: Parachuting

Tuesday, December 9: The Grinch looks much happier after a back rub.

Wednesday, December 10: TPing the
stairs. I wonder if he rolled from the top?

Thursday, December 11: The chalkboard is
hard to read but says, "Tyler & Daphne:
NAUGHTY or NICE?"

Friday, December 12: Tree Skirt hung Aggie lights
in Tyler's room. Tyler said this was "Not funny!"
since he now pulls for the Longhorns.

You can see the Aggie logo better when the lights are off.

Saturday, December 13: Ready for takeoff

Tree Skirt looks pretty comfy in the Fischer Price plane! This
was the kids' favorite day so far because they got to eat the
marshmallows. See video below of Tyler dancing and singing
about marshmallows.

Sunday, December 14: Locked outside

Santa, Elves, and Reindeer

We came across these cute cut-outs while shopping for Christmas trees.

The Bullock

Last weekend we checked out The Bullock Texas State History Museum during DeSTEMber fest. They had a ton of kids' activities in the lobby to get the kids excited about science, technology, engineering, and math.

Tyler made an igloo out of
toothpicks and marshmallows.

Checking out chain mail

Hard at Work

The leaves have been falling and there are still many more to come! The kids, especially Tyler, helped Michael pick up piles of leaves after Michael used the leaf blower to get them into piles.
