Trying to teach my 3 year old kid that it is OK to get out of bed at night instead of sitting in there yelling for her mommy or daddy. Her mom made this cool jar to collect marbles every time she gets out of bed and since it started, she has only gotten 2. Since I was in the kids' room last night, I took a marble for myself since I got out on my own without yelling for any help. Not sure she got the lesson, but at least I tried.

Hangin' with the g-rents.
My kids' grandparents came in to town today and since the cats and dog get shut out of their room when they visit, I thought this would be a great place to hang out. It was double the excitement. The kids came in to see their grandparents early in the morning and found me there as well. It was awesome!

Comfy once again.
Now why didn't I think of this spot in the first place?
This house doesn't have a fireplace, so they got creative with the stockings. I am going to have to remind Santa that he needs his special key. Maybe I'll bring it with me one day because you know that the 3 year old is going to start asking about it. She's a smart one that kid!

Trying to blend in
My kid's mom loves to display all of her art work from school so I thought I might try and blend in and make it harder for them to find me. No such luck. The littlest one found me immediately and started furiously pointing at me until his big sister came along to join in.
At least I look quite festive in this spot.

Blood rushing to my head.
I get that being up high is a good thing to deter the 1 year old from nomming on my head but sometimes I really need to reconsider my decisions before I get stuck in them.
Hey, at least I didn't get stuck to the fan. At a meeting with Santa this week, one of my other elf friends told me of his harrowing night being attached to a spinning fan. Poor guy. He made the trek back to the North Pole with an airsick bag in his lap.

It's not the size that counts
My kids' mom has this tiny tree above her desk. She put it there the day after she took down the Halloween decorations. Some might think she is a little crazy, but I kinda like her spirit. It's Christmasy. Her spirit that is... well and the tree of course. Took the kids a while to find me this morning.

I am not responsible
My kids' parents got a little toasted tonight getting some Christmas things done and before I knew it the kid's dad had trapped me in this Lego throne, so to speak, and stuck me on the kitchen TV. Pretty easy place to find me though and I didn't get a leg cramp (helicopter) or a pine needle up my ass (see previous post) so I guess I can't really complain.

It was a long and relaxing vacation...
...but I am back and it seems that my kid's little brother has grown up and loves finding me in the morning as well so now I have to be super creative and remember to stay high up because that kid seems like he might just nom nom on my head if he gets his hands on me.
The family decorated the kitchen this year, so it was easy to surprise the kids at breakfast by just hanging out above them taunting them with a candy cane.
