spankingfemmeSo, I got this cute little Christmas tradition called Elf on a Shelf from my step-mom last year to show to Lucian where it has a video and a book along with a little stuffed elf. The story is that the elf is taken out and given a name, and from this he gets his magic to fly back to the North Pole to tell Santa if you've been naughty or nice and what you want for Christmas :P Lucian was still a little too young last year, so I saved it for this year. We watched the video tonight, and Lucian gave his elf the name 'Jack' This is going to be fun LOL! Here's a pic of me and the kids watching the video with his little elf ;) (Of course this is before I realized kids aren't supposed to 'touch' them or they'll lose their magic! LOL! I don't think Lucian will remember that part though :P
We got a lot accomplished today. Did a thorough clean of the house dusting and sweeping/mopping as well as reorganizing the closet. Broke down the baby's swing that he's gotten too big for to bring to the thrift store along with clothes I'd already gone through and set aside for donation. We found crib bumpers for Lucian's old crib (since we needed to switch it out for Nox's co-sleeper... we woke to find him peering over the top of it LOL! I wanted to switch it out before he starts developing upper body strength enough to pull himself up, so he can't climb out and hurt himself.) We found so many awesome toys for the kids! We weren't able to buy many, and I was feeling down about it, but the thrift store had a lot of nice stuff that we would have otherwise never been able to afford new. I spent a good two hours cleaning and bleaching them to get them ready for wrapping. Tomorrow we plan to use Scott's truck and get a tree! =D
I need to get started on my 2nd IP for the week, but our teacher still hasn't given us an updated lecture for last week's chat or any grades... they are supposed to be uploaded no later than Friday's on their side... I feel bad for her loss, but we kind of still have to keep up with the course work. Is that mean of me to feel?
On the flipside, here's a fun little meme that a few of you are doing, and I decided it'd be fun to play as well :)
Pick a date in December and give me something to talk about. Give me a question or topic-- absolutely anything goes - whatever strikes your fancy, and nothing is taboo or TMI, or any of that nonsense. If you're not comfortable asking here, go ahead and PM me.
