Friday Before Break

Friday was a half day for the teachers...In-service Day.  The students were out at the end of the school day on Thursday for Christmas Break.  The yahoos were here but in a slimmed down amount.  Some left at noon because they were traveling.  Some stayed until four because...well you know...secret stuff and they had to get ready for company.

Candy CAne Scavenger Hunt by Boomerang.  He wanted to go out with a bang!

No children were injured in this reenactment.  Someone has learned that he can climb on just about anything.

Counting to 12 to make sure that they found them all.

Back to the basement for more coloring.  I love little hands.

Oh my gosh, she is letting me color with two at a time...one for each hand!

Coloring like crazy.

And then the gluesticks came out.

Meet Delaney The Elf.

She is still working so hard.

Flopsy The Elf is complete.

This might be his second or third outfit for the day and it isn't even noon yet.  Antibiotics are killers around here.

But look at that sweet face.  He is jsut excited that he gets to sit in Pappy's chair.

This could begin to be a problem.  Jase has figured out how to take his pants off.  But he is a little frustrated with the putting back on process.

And he looks on.

Taking time to read each and every Christmas book for the last time this year.  While Jase practices his pick-pocketing skills.
