Elf on the Shelf...Woody, Day 19

Woody left some 'seeds' to plant, but he didn't say what would grow.  We planted them in sugar, so I am guessing that something sweet grows.  The boys think it will take until Christmas to grow.  We shall see.

Oh, Woody!  I thank-you for attempting to make coffee....that means I got Starbucks instead :-)  Which happened to be VERY needed this morning.  Although it was kind of a mess, the boys thought it was super funny that Woody tried to make coffee.  You just never know where to find Woody in the morning.  Funny little Elf!

Elf on the Shelf...Woody, Day 11

This is what Woody left on the table, at the breakfast nook this morning...Connor's Vanilla milk & Dylan's Chocolate milk...they were excited.  However, Dylan had quite the freak out the Woody was staring him in the face (really about 12 inches away) while he ate his breakfast.  Dylan insisted I move him and put him back in the Christmas tree.  So, the sucker I am, I did....so, this is where he spent the rest of the day...

Thankful in November, Day 29

Today I am thankful I am a Cougar fan -- and alumni, which is really no different.  Even though we had a less than stellar Apple Cup performance, I am still just as much of a Coug fan.

Well, our Elf from last year, Woody is here.  Boys were very excited that he came back again.  And since Woody doesn't talk, he wrote us a letter.  So, we had to write him back.
