Elf-y's Newest adventures for the week

Well here is what Elf-y has been up to this week:

Now He was not really, bad, you know? He just wanted to paper my hubby's little bathroom where he takes his morning shower. However

since this was a first time he got entangled in his own web---but at least at a nice resting place.

He is quite cheerful in spite of everything.

He did have some flight of fancy. After this episode he hid for a while in Nannykim's special cozy spot:

and Nannykim almost missed him!

He did take a short break with his fellow elves under the tree and they had some good chats:

but then he needed to be back in action. He decided to dress up a bit and do some mirror decoration:

But as we all know there are some necessities of life:

ahhh, yes

and last but not least he had to help with a Christmas puzzle---Nannykim does need some help with this one!!

so all in all it was a busy week with bits of adventure for Elf-y

It is the small things in life that bring smiles; and Elf-y has made my hubby and I smile each morning!

Elfy was freed!!! AT LAST

Elf-y had been locked up hidden in the oatmeal box for DAYS!!! My hubby had not eaten oatmeal in the warm weather and then he had been traveling. FINALLY on Saturday after watching an old Columbo movie MY HUBBY could no longer take the fact that ELF-Y was MISSING; He searched High and Low in every room (driving me a bit nuts). Then he realized Elf-y must be IN something. After a bit, he found him (see my post below) Now Elf-y is celebrating being back out and about!

Yes, we do have a winter puzzle we are working on in the background.

Why elf-y remains in the dark

My POOR elf-y has been sitting in the dark for days now, just waiting for my hubby to find him

.

SHHHH, don't tell my hubby where he is!

The Quaker Guy is smiling , knowingly, don't you think? He knows our secret well! The weather here has been hot (mid to upper 70's ), plus my hubby has been traveling......so the oatmeal and ELF-Y WAITS!!

Here is some Christmas music for you:

but this one below is more fun:

Someone couldn't wait to come out!

He just couldn't wait to come out today.....along with some others

Now , normally these individuals do not appear until after Thanksgiving!

But they were tired of being couped up!

They do make me happy

But for some reason I started craving a COKE, lol. Do you all think of these Santa's and coke?

Now this sign is fine for THANKSGIVING!!

I love my flannel sheets--HOWEVER the cooler weather is coming later in the week; today was actually in the 70's!

I love the pattern on these sheets . So TTFN

Thanksgiving ideas for kids

I like the idea of letting the kiddies color a picture and place it under a glass plate. This is good any ole time of the year, but would be especially fun for holidays.

You can find Trivia questions and place it under plates too---this one is for kids, but they have adult ones as well. This can be found here http://blog.gigmasters.com/thanksgiving-dinner-ideas-and-free-printables/
