Watching over us...

We have a new pair of eyes watching over the kids. :)

"Based on the tradition Carol Aebersold began with her family in the 1970s, this cleverly rhymed children's book explains that Santa knows who is naughty and/or nice because he sends a scout elf to every home. The elf watches the children's behavior and magically returns to the North Pole to report to Santa each night. By morning, the elf returns to its assigned home and hides in a different location, allowing the children to play a delightful hide-and-seek game."


Max was absolutely riveted when we read him the story and explained what "Elfie" would be doing. We let Max pick the name - and I have to say he is not very original when it comes to naming things. We bought him a pillow pet, the dog, and when we asked what he wanted him to name him and he came up with "puppy". This past summer we went to a birthday party at build a bear, he named his bear "beary". Too funny.

We reminded him a few times while him and Emma were playing about "Elfie" watching and boy was he on his best behavior. Can't wait to see how the next few weeks play out!!!!

Better....

Just a bit. Finally talked to my doctor and she strongly feels that my "blah-ness" is stemming from my shots of depo-prevera. My shot shot was due in about a week so we are making the choice to take me off it and see what happens.

I have to say I was still feeling pretty yucky but in the last few days I have been feeling better - not 100% better but still better.

With the holidays quickly approaching I really don't want to go into them feeling like a wet rag so hoping this works. :)
