Bob Is Coming Back!

He's coming, he's coming! We received a letter from Bob today, stowed away in the fireplace. At first I thought the kids were playing in the fireplace again. But we quickly found out our favorite elf had been around...

His colorful letter led us to Fiona's treat jar, where we found another clue. Looks like Bob wanted to have a little fun! We were off on a scavenger hunt...
On the broom in the garage...
Taped behind last year's ornament...

Stuck to a chair at the kitchen table...
On the pink play fridge in the play room...
On the Wii...
On an apple in the fridge...
And here we found the gifts...in the dryer! Bob was everywhere last night while we were asleep!
He brought Liam a Christmas cup and Christmas socks...
A cup, magic socks, a jingle ring and candy for Evie...
And a cup, magic boxer shorts and candy for Chase.

It actually worked out well that Bob is supervising the toy line and will be a little late this year. Evie and I leave for Phoenix on Wednesday and she'd be so sad if she had to miss any days with him. We can't wait until Bob is back again!

Good-Bye Game On!

Today is the last day of Game On! I must say...it gets much more difficult to stay on track toward the end, and I am kind of glad to see it go. I did manage to lose 3 1/2 pounds on the game, but I don't think I will make my weight this week. I will have my last weigh-in tomorrow, but unless I lose another 3 pounds by morning, it isn't going to happen. Ah well. My own fault since I haven't been keeping up with my exercise this week. It's been a little hard getting back in routine after Disney.But who knows...maybe we will still win? Go Dieting Divas!

PAR-TAY

Evie was invited to a birthday party after school today, and had fun going to A'zyas party at Burger King. They got to play and have fun in the playground, and even Chase and Liam got to get in on the action. Mommy had to work after dropping them off, so Daddy kept an eye on them.

Isn't she a doll? Hopefully Chase's will be in soon...

PACKERS!!!

We're going to a Packer game!!! I finally got our tickets and hotel reserved, and even made reservations at the Ruth's Chris steakhouse by the Georgia Dome. So excited that we get to be doing this next weekend, and thankful Mamaw will be watching the kids overnight for us. We rarely get Mommy and Daddy time together, and we're ecstatic to get to do something for the first time together, since neither of us has been to an NFL game before. Can't wait!!

They're Baaaaaaaack!

So Evie and Chase are back to school this morning. Mommy did Evie's hair up again like a princess with her crown, and she took her autograph book filled with photos to show her friends at school. Chase had to stay late after school today to make up his work. Liam stayed home with Mommy this morning, since he is feeling a little under the weather. He must have needed to catch up on his sleep, because he took a 4 1/2 hour nap today. Despite his lengthy nap, I found it still hard to put away all the stuff from our trip and finish all the laundry we'd accumulated. I wish I had taken an extra day off this week, but I am back to work tonight. Bummer.

On The Road Again...

The kids hadn't yet made it to the resort's pool yet, even though we had requested a poolside room. So we wanted to let them squeeze in some swim time before we headed back home. It's a nice pool and I am glad the kids got to have just a little more fun. Evie and Liam even played on the playground there before heading in to shower up.

This statue of Mickey is in the hotel's lobby, and the kids wanted just one more picture before we left.

And we're on the road again. Just can't wait to get back home again. Hee, hee. We made good time, after stopping at Joe's Crab Shack for lunch. We got back home around 8:30pm tonight, just in time to throw the kids in the bed since they are back to school again in the morning.
