Stuff the Santa was one station that was a big hit divided up into four teams. Each team selected a Santa, planned their stuffing actions & when ready got one minute to stuff Santa with as many balloons as possible.<br />

What's Christmas without snow globes? I loved this station. Seeing all the kids gaze into their finished globe as if staring magic in the eye made my heart glow like Rudolph's nose. The children had three choices to pick from for their little figurine inside...Christmas tree, gingerbread man or a snowman. These globes will bring many years of joy to all their homes every season. <br />

As the story goes, he watches over the children and reports back to Santa every night. Every morning til Christmas the girls will have to find where he landed.<br />
With 6 days left til Christmas today he will “make his appearance” when the girls come home from school they will have to give him a name when they spot him. My job will be remembering to move him. <br />
<br />
Looking forward to this fun new family tradition the last week til Santa comes. Christmas Eve we will have a send off party for our Elf on the Shelf til next year! <br />
<br />
Photos to come!<br />

As a family we really do do our best to encapsulate every moment as if it were our last. However, I chose to stay inside the warmth tonight & listen to my traditional Christmas music channel, finish folding clothes & deal with puppy potty training still, yes Charlie did just start to pee, while Derek took Breanna & Emily swimming on a very balmy 9 degree night. I had to copy Dereks facebook post which reads..."Its a balmy 9 degrees must be time to swim! Just need to remember not to leave swim bag in my truck! — at The Pool - Lifetime Fitness Center....Many other great posts I could think of that gets my blood boiling like .."It's a steamy 77 degrees in my cozy house, fire place glowing, music softly playing & my heart is full of love" Where's <a href="http://www.hallmark.com/online/">hallmark</a> when you need them? ; ) <br />So Derek has the girls at the pool & is paying them .50 cents for each time they go down the slide to earn money for tomorrows Secret Santa shop at their school. They left with intention of going down 40 times to get 24$ each. Looking forward to hear the results. Earlier Breanna came home & was telling me all the details about her field trip today to The Kindness Retreat...Light bulb turned on & I suggested "how about you blog about it all then I can read it always" Immediately I loved the idea of getting both my girls excited about blogging about their days for mom & dad. Well it turned into a business right away. Breanna says, "How much are you gonna pay me?" A penny a word seemed very fair. "No, 10 cents" she says. After bickering about words for a blog I came back with .05 cents a word and she agreed. I set her up & away she started typing. She was busy blogging for close to an hour. I even commented, "what's taking so long?" "I'm putting extra words in" she says. For money! Well I think in the end this was a real good penny earned in my book for Breanna. When she was done she speaks loudly with joy, "Come look I posted it" She was tickled to show me how long it was! :o) Her next statement..."check how many words there are now?" Word count complete, tally back, 613 words...She jumped up to the ceiling with happiness, laughing! lol Well moral of the story I have to pay up or her blogging days are over...& I much appreciated her blog to let that cease. Emily says "You didn't want me to write about my field trip" oops well Yes I do & actually I honestly have hers started just not posted so she's ahead of the game...Stay tuned for her Orchestra Hall field trip she took last week to see Hansel & Gretel. If only I could rewrite in her words the excitement she shared about it! <br /><br />"It's a world of laughter<br />A world of tears<br />It's a world of hopes<br />And a world of fears<br />There's so much that we share<br />That it's time we're aware<br />It's a small (Flom) world after all<br /><br />There is just one moon<br />And one golden sun<br />And a smile means<br />Friendship to every one<br />Though the mountains divide<br />And the oceans are wide<br />It's a small (Flom) world after all" ~ The Sherman Brotherselizabethflomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11241464398143844489noreply@blogger.com0
