The Night Life

 Frankie, our Elf on the Shelf arrived last weekend.  The girls are thrilled.  Do you do Elf on the Shelf at your house?  Emily and Sarah Kate wrote up a Christmas list over the weekend.  Emily asked for a baby sister and SK asked for a real pet unicorn for our backyard.  Sorry, but Santa will NOT be delivering on these two items.
 SK is in her bedtime get up.  Check out the four barretts in her hair. 
Emily is writing her nightly note to the fairy about a kitten.

Kristen the cat is recovering nicely from her tooth extraction.  She still holds her lip like Elvis from time to time.

Our elf, Bobby Boy will be making his appearance next week. I had to chuckle about Emily writing a letter about the kitten every night! Will Santa be bringing one? ;) And what ever happened to that one cat the showed up and you had fixed?

Yes, we have done elf on the shelf for the last 5 years and my girls love it (ages 11 & 8). Our problem is remembering to change locations each evening. Our elf has found spots before that he loved and decided to stay there for a couple days:-)

oh my goodness, I REALLY wish you lived next door so that SK and Annie could be friends. We joke that Annie lives "up there" with the rainbows and the unicorns. Her teacher last year said that she would think she wasn't paying attention and then she would answer a question...that she is able to hang out with the unicorns while learning about simple predicates. She believes tinker bell will come visit her someday. Never a dull moment. And the bedtime outfits. I'm going to take some pictures and send them to you. :-) They would be such GOOD FRIENDS.

Something Good to Eat

Ever since Steve and I started dating, when we would go to Mississippi, his aunt would make the BEST ROAST IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!! Steve's Dad's side of the family gets together at his Granny's house for lunch every Sunday after church. The food is always sooo good!!!!!!!!!!!! I have always taken a liking to his Aunt Judy's roast. It really is the best roast I have ever had. When we were there on Labor Day weekend, my sister in law asked Aunt Judy for the recipe. Aunt Judy began naming all the ingredients. She said Ranch Dressing mix, and I bugged my eyes out and nearly chocked. I HATE RANCH DRESSING. I don't even like to be in the room with it. I had to focus on the word MIX....not the mayo and butter milk and sour cream that you add to it. Just typing those words makes me shudder. The recipe sounded awful as she rattled off the ingredients, but I promise, you have got to make this if you like a good roast. Trust me on this. Here it is: Get a tender chuck

Complicated

Maybe I am wrong, but I don't remember life being so complicated when I was in middle school. Everything is so competitive now.  Maybe it was back then and I just didn't realize it. Sarah Kate started playing city league softball a couple of weeks ago.   We've been encouraged to get her private batting lessons. When I was in third grade I started playing softball and I just did it for fun!  No stress at all, as far as I can remember!  I just played.  I wasn't very good, but I liked it! Ha! Emily started band this year!  Before school started, I got a letter from the school district strongly encouraging "your band student to take instrument lessons."  WHAT?  I bought into it and got Emily private clarinet lessons (which she really enjoys)! But, what happened to learning as you go?  I never thought about taking private trumpet lessons when I started band. It seems like most parents are striving for their child to be THE BEST.  I guess that's a go

Life in Pictures!

Emily is enjoying her first year in band.  I am very impressed with her playing skill! Sarah Kate was recently awarded the empathy award at her school.  She is very deserving of this! Here we are before the Cotillion Holly Ball.
