Looks like he made it... and he framed Santa pictures!

Well it looks like Moxie made some new friends last night. Woody and Bullseye helped him sneak some candy, I think.

We went and saw Santa after school and got a photo. Just precious, in my opinion. Scout and Dylan both said they wanted pink horses, a doll house, and an iPad. Really? Spoiled much?

Tonight Dylan ran into the kitchen and told me that Scout had touched Moxie. This is a big no-no in elf world. We had to sprinkle cinnamon around him to help him get back to the north pole. Lets hope he makes it!

Moxie was proud of the work the girls did yesterday in the kitchen. He celebrated by hugging a cupcake.

December 7&8

Author: Carrie | Filed Under: Christmas, elf on the shelf, preschool | at 9:19 PM |

On Friday we found Moxie in the tree again. This time he brought along some toilet paper to help decorate. The girls thought it was so funny. They couldn't stop laughing.
Saturday found him holding their Santa picture from last year. He found out that we were planning on going to see Santa today. Unfortunately there was a 3 hour wait to see Santa. Are you kidding me? Changed our plans and we will go see him Monday after school. We came home and baked cookies instead.

December 6 Caught ya!

Author: Carrie | Filed Under: Christmas, elf on the shelf | at 9:42 PM |

Moxie got stuck in the candy jar. The girls made me take the lid off because they were worked he'd get stuck in there forever.

December 4 Moxie mischief

Author: Carrie | Filed Under: Christmas, elf on the shelf, preschool | at 10:58 PM |

Oh, Moxie. You may have gone too far today. Those are NOT ornaments. The girls thought this was hilarious, but they wanted me to take down their undies right away. This morning I told them that Moxie told me that Santa was getting ready to put them both on the naughty list because they have been whining so much and not listening. He said he would bring rocks if they were put on the naughty list. No rocks yet. They were slightly better behaved today so I have a feeling there won't be rocks tomorrow but still see...

December 3 - Moxie is hot

Author: Carrie | Filed Under: Christmas, elf on the shelf, preschool | at 5:57 PM |

Apparently Moxie has been hot. I can't blame him. Temps have hit 80 for 3 days in a row. It's December, right? I guess I can't blame him for jumping in the freezer! The girls have peeked in there at least half a dozen times since we got home from school today.

December 2 - Moxie's ride

Author: Carrie | Filed Under: Christmas, elf on the shelf, kids | at 5:17 PM |

Last night Moxie was tired. The girls kept him really busy and he had a lot to report to Santa. He asked me if he could have a ride to the North Pole. I told him I wasn't sure we had anything to get him there. We woke this morning to find that he discovered his own ride...

December 1 Moxie's snow angel

Author: Carrie | Filed Under: Christmas, elf on the shelf, kids | at 5:14 PM |

Friday night, Moxie told me that he missed the snow at the North Pole. I told him I was very sorry, but we didn't get much snow in Texas. We woke up on Saturday morning to find this

Oh, Moxie. A rice angel? Again, a hit with the girls!

~4/10/10

Our cats names are now "Yogurt" and "Okee"
Yogurt because Caillou's cat's name is Gilbert and when Scout says it, it sounds like yougurt.
Okee is because I asked Scout what we should name the other kitty and she said "other kitty" which sounds like Okee in toddler-talk.

Mommy: Scout, we don't take toys away from Dylan. You have to share.
Dylan: No no no no no no no!
My 13 month old has learned the word no. Lord help us all!
