Elf on the Shelf!

  Christmas time!!!! Such a magical time of year! I love all things Christmas!!! While we don’t do Santa in our house, (we know his story, but we also know what the season is actually about) I absolutely love the idea of Elf on the Shelf!! His mischievous smile and fun little antics seemed like a great addition to our holiday! Boy was he!! It was so much fun every night coming up with a new place to put him and waking up to see the kids faces when they saw what he got into that night as they slept.    We named ours Frank, which Edyth then nicknamed him, Frankie Baby Elf!! Here’s pictures of some of his shenanigans. 

    
    
    
    

    
    
 Can’t wait till next year Frank! It was fun while it lasted!! 

Garage Sale Adventure

So this little town about 40 minutes from us had some community garage sales. Mind you, I’m that girl that LOVES garage sales, so we don’t hesitate to travel to find some good stuff!! This little town doesn’t have any gas station or fast food joints so when your kids need to use the restroom you have no other choice but to check out the local bar scene. We were lucky to have such a cool place up in McCartyville. One of those hole in the wall places with great people, good food, a really rad vintage bowling game and you can put your name on a dollar and hang it on the wall!! We had a great time!!! 


  

  

  


   On the way home we stopped at a park at Lake Loramie for more fun!!  
    
    
   
 We even found some things to make a fishing pole with!!!  

    
  
   

Life’s to short to not make an adventure out of every outing!!
