The elves have been busy and I think my kids are loving them more than ever :) Let me show you what they've been up to this past week. It was a good elf week!
1. Grinch Day! Walmart had the cutest Grinch things this year. I grabbed Grinch party stuff for a day of Grinch movie watching and matching t-shirts for all the kids. Leo had Grinch Day at school so this was perfect. All the kids wore their Grinch shirts to school.
2. Find 100 mini rubber ducks with Santa hats downstairs. I think they were allf ound by the end of the day.
3. We made sure your lunches were extra sweet! I added some extra Chrismtas candy and Christmas napkins to their regular packed lunches.
4. After school hot chocolate bar opens at 4:00pm today! This gave us all something to look forward to after a long day at school. The chocolate spoons and snowman marshmallow Peeps were a big hit.
5. We made some new friends and they took us on a ride! Gingerbread men are fun! I found a gingerbread ornament for each kid - a gingerbread angel and gingerbread nails for Olive, a Santa baker for Fletcher and a Santa gingerbread man for Leo.
6. Big game tonight! ND vs IU! We invited our families over to watch the game with us. We had a big buffet of lots of yummy game day foods. We cheered for both teams since I went to IU and Kevin wen to ND, but we were glad to see ND win.
7. Mystery Drink Challenge @ 11:00am today! The kids LOVE LOVE LOVED this one. I had 7 different drinks hidden in the box for them to try. Many different PRIME flavors, chocolate milk and lemonade. They had the best time sampling the drinks and trying to guess what they were tasting.
It was so easy to do! Save a box that the drinks could stand up in. Poke holes in the box with scissors. Number said holes. Make a list of drinks in each spot. Then let the kids sample them.
It was hilarious and so fun!
8. Special Delivery! Letters from Santa arrived post marked from Santa Claus, Indiana. All the kids were happy to hear that they are on the nice list this year. We've got a lot to be thankful for
We have just a couple days left of elf fun before they head out on Christmas!
I love this! I so wish all these fun ideas had been around when my kids were little! Our little Elf just popped up around the house in different places 😅 The mystery drink idea is so much fun!
