A Little Knitty

More Freddie Adventures... Day #13 Freddie was a naughty little guy and got into our fridge and dyed the milk green! I thought the kids would really love this. I waited until the milk was low though, just in case it wasn't as appreciated as I thought it would be...I did NOT give thought to the fact that you can't see through the jugs from Sam's Club. Whoops! Here's Freddie hanging out in the fridge (next to the wine of course!) P enjoyed it, N looked me right in the eye and said "Please tell Freddie to never do that again". Hahahhaa....killjoy Day #14 Freddie wanted to relax a little in the bathtub...I surely wouldn't mind a day of relaxation!   Day #15 This morning we found Freddie ziplining from the top of N's door, into the laundry room. N thought it was pretty cool! Day #16 Snowball fight with Luigi...N says that Freddie won! Day #17 Before bed, N asked Freddie if he could hide in his stocking the next morning. So, he was extremely excited when he ...

And the saga continues... Day #9: The husband helped the elf hide tonight, I was so sick and would have forgotten about him completely. Freddie was found sitting among the apples in the basket on the wall. This is when I learned a valuable lesson...DON'T SET THE BAR TOO HIGH!!! If I had done a Pinterest worthy elfing from the beginning, my kids would have expected that every day. Do yourself a favor people...set the bar low!! N found the elf and after a few days of fun things like drawing on faces and bringing cereal....he was like "that's it?". Day #10: I had been meaning to set up these little Christmas Trees we bought last year (because we thought P would be climbing the tree if we got a real tree...little did we know, she would STILL be trying to climb the tree this year). Anyway...these two little trees I had been meaning to set up in each of their rooms...since I never got around to it, Freddie took it into his own hands...and decorated them with gift tags. Thes...

Bet you were wondering what our little Freddie has been up to, huh? He has gotten a little more bold and a tad bit more naughty...which the kids are loving. Day #4: I struggled with this one. I saw it on Pinterest and I have dry erase markers laying around and knew it would come right off....but I work so hard on getting my kids (mostly the little one) to follow the rules, did I REALLY want to encourage naughty-ness? I decided to go with it though, it was the elf after all, not me!!! I did thoroughly enjoy drawing on the pictures...it was more fun than I expected! I did keep checking the pen to make sure it was indeed dry erase and not a sharpie, wouldn't that be awful?? I tacked Freddie up with a little of that blue putty stuff you use to hang posters...that stuff rocks! My son found him in the morning and was shocked at what a naughty elf he was. I explained that ONLY Freddie can do that stuff and he was cool with that, but still looked a little concerned. He then asked if I was ...

I wanted to partake in the Elf pandemonium last year...but I was too cheap to pay full price and figured they would go on sale after Christmas. I was wrong...so I bought our little friend and stashed him away for this year. Yup, I'm totally one of "those" moms. Now, I don't go crazy because I'm just too lazy to pick up messes in the morning...but I have been finding fun things to do, and my husband has even gotten in on the fun!! Here's Freddie's first few days with us... Day #1: Freddie was found hanging out in the laundry room. Just hanging, not doing anything thrilling...but he was out of reach of the toddler. I didn't think to take a photo until a few days in...I didn't think I would even last past a day or two. Go me! Day #2: We picked up the Christmas Tree the night before, so Freddie climbed to the top (again, out of toddler reach). Simple and easy! Day #3: Hanging from the ceiling with our MistleToad. Do you see the out of toddler reach the...
